"I had several overgrown shrubs in a plant bed to remove from the end of my driveway. I requested quotes from a variety of local businesses. Leo made a point to come to my house and discuss in person. Within 5 minutes we agreed on a price to cut down the shrubs, clear out some smaller bushes, grind all the stumps, add some fresh fill, seed and straw. Fantastic value for the money. He and his team did a great job, worked quickly, and cleaned up nicely when done. I would highly recommend Leo's Landscaping."

"I hired Pacheco Maintenance to trim several dead branches from my Aspen tree. I was so pleased with what a fantastic job they did with trimming the tree, I also had them trim the bushes all all around my house as well as removal of weeds. They cleaned up nicely after they were done. I’m very happy I hired them! They were professional, worked quickly and reasonably priced. I’ll be hiring them again for the winter season for snow removal. I would highly recommend Pacheosanchez Maintence!! Thank you Alex and your crew. I’m very happy with the work you did for me!"

"Roman’s team did a beautiful job with the paver patio and sod installation. It was transformational! He accommodated all our requests, such as adding compost in my garden bed and adding a cement small slab for a pizza oven. Would definitely recommend for any landscaping needs."

Customers say: Quick response

"Exceeding their customer's expectations was their # 1 goal. Very efficient work, a challenge to take down two trees next to some power lines. Lots of engineering involved. Clean up was outstanding. They even cleaned the roof of m neighbor's garage! Calling them back for some additional work!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.
