"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

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

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.

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.
