"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."

"Juan isn't just a person with a team who can remove large trees with efficiency; he is an arborist who really has vision of what can be done with a property. I recommend him not only for tree removal but for planting and landscape work. And the value that you get for the price is just great."

"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."

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!"

"My yard was over run by weeds, small trees and possibly some other life form and then we hired Daniel. They did an amazing job removing everything and regrading and cleaned up afterwards. Some might say it all dirt but thats the beauty because we can do whatever we want to it now. Great price . I have a few more things that need to be done in the front and on the side and i will 100% be hiring them again for these other jobs."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.
