"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!"

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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!"

"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

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.
