"Luis and his team were great! I had a large tree that was surrounded by my house, the neighbors house, and a garage. They had it down and the wood stacked neatly in about half a day. Later in the day, I called back to see where the anchors were for my sons playhouse, and Luis said he would check with the crew and call me back. Within 30 min I got a call back saying where they anchors were but not to worry as Luis had already came back and put the playhouse/anchors back in himself. What great customer service!! I would definitely recommend them to others and hire again for future needs."

"John and his crew are professionals. They started our job of removing 5 trees 3 days earlier than expected this past week. It took the 5 man crew 4hrs last Wednesday and 4hrs on Thursday to remove the 5 trees. They ground up all the stumps and cleaned up all of the twigs that had broken off. They were very careful when running their machinery on the lawn to not damage it. They put down a number of panels to protect the lawn. I will definitely be calling this company again when I need to trim any of the remaining trees. Their pricing is reasonable and competive in this market. My wife and I highly recommend them."

"They were very professional. Got there within the hour of when they said. There was an arborist and two guys. They knew what they were doing. They left the yard cleaner than when they started, they raked and blew the yard. They did a terrific job! The tree looks great. I would hire them again right away."

"Luis Diaz is the owner. He came to my house and gave an estimate. He took a few days to fit my tree into his schedule as he wanted to be in my neighborhood to do a few trees. He and his crew were friendly, hard working, efficient and well priced. Luis does all tree cutting in the lift himself. He is very skilled. They cut the tree, mulched and took all branches away, cut the logs into 16 inch pieces. I then had a friend lend me his wood splitter and Luis and his crew split the wood and stacked it. Left the place very clean. I would hire him for sure next tree i need removed. Crazy good work!"

"The crew came on time and worked steadily throughout the day to remove a very large tree from a fairly small lot. Everyone was polite and respectful. Taking down a tree this size was not a simple job, but these guys really know what they're doing! They cleaned up the area thoroughly when they were finished. Now I don't have to rake leaves this year. Thanks, guys!"

"I used Angie's List to find someone to grind a stump in our front yard. Literally minutes after submitting my request, Mr. Stump Removal called me to discuss the job. I texted pictures of the stump and received a very fair and reasonable quote. The work was done a few days later. Mr Stump Removal exceeded my expectations. They were quick to respond, pricing was fair and they did an excellent job. I highly recommend this business!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

The best plan of action for an unhealthy or unsafe tree will depend on its condition. An arborist can recommend whether trimming or removal is the right call for your tree. Preventive tree trimming can keep trees safe and healthy, so make regular tree trimming a part of your yard maintenance plan.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
