"These guys were all business and incredibly efficient at a fair price. Had a straightforward ash tree job, one worker came initially and carefully and systematically trimmed the tree with a lift and chainsaw, rest of crew came with chipper, chainsaws, and remote controlled stump grinder (awesome!) a bit later. Chipper demolished all branches, including thick base with ease. After the stump grinder was done, they quickly cleaned up with blowers to contain the remnants into a small area. Just like that, we were treated to an impressive, efficient spectacle of tree removal in about an hour start to finish. Would hire they guys again in a heartbeat. Respectful, hard-working crew with all the tools to get the job done professionally!"

"I requested a quote for tree removal, I had 5 very large elm trees in my front yard. They gave me a quote the same day and were able to start the work the following day and it was completed in 2 days. The service was great, especially for the value. Cut down, removed and cleaned up everything. I would recommend them for your tree removal projects!"

"They did a great job. They took 3 hours using 4 men and two big trucks to take down the tree branches, some as thick as a medium size tree. They had to climb up on our garages but did a great job. After the cleanup was done they mulched all of the cuttings and logs. Then they swept the street and used a blower to clean up the back yard. It looks much better."

"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."

"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!"

Customers say: True professional

"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!"

"This was only my second experience with Angie’s list. I was looking for a landscaper and I found it quite surprising. How many popped up. The first one that responded was Daniel‘s landscaping out of Racine Wisconsin. Explain my needs on the phone then Daniel was out here the next day, giving me a quote, I needed new plants which I had already bought an old plant taken out plus about 2 1/2 tons of stone. He listened to my needs very carefully. He believes in direct communication with the customer at all times during the job. All of my concerns were addressed and covered my garden ended up exactly the way I wanted them everything now looks so clean and neat and beautiful. He believes that the Customer comes first and always will. He’s extremely honest with very good business ethics he has high professional standards. I strongly suggest that when you have landscaping needs, even cutting and mowing you give him a call. You can trust him and don’t hesitate. You will not be disappointed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.

Large, established tree branches won’t grow roots, but if you find a young tree branch that’s less than about a year old, you’ve got a shot. Put it in water or soil as soon as possible for best results. You’ll know the branch is viable if it’s about the thickness of a pencil and has some leaves or needles.

If you’re buying a small tree with lots of room to grow, expect to pay around $100 to $200 for a potted version. But if you’re buying a larger tree—say one over 10 feet—prices rise, starting in the $500 to $600 range and increasing quickly from there. Keep in mind that paying for professional palm tree planting or transplanting services will increase the cost.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.
