"Raven’s owner, James Potter is both hard working, intelligent, and very trustworthy and competent. I had just retired when Covid struck and my wife and I caught it very early on. What was manageable for a retiree in good health gradually became unmanageable by the time I recovered. I had made two failed attempts when Raven showed up. It took about two weeks with unfortunately wet cold weather and vine growth beyond what we originally anticipated. … Highly Recommended!"

Customers say: Quality work

"I had a large maple tree in my front yard that was a hazard to my home and the surrounding neighbors property. I met with 3 different companies and Satisfaction Tree Service came in significantly cheaper than any of them and done the job the very next day. They cleaned up the mess and the guys were all very friendly. Very efficient and professional. I would definitely hire them again for any future tree removal needs."

"I had a few no shows and overpriced quotes, he was one of the only ones that responded in a reasonable time and actually showed up. He cut down a lot of poison Ivy for me under my Japanese Apple tree and cut a lot of dead branches off for me. My tree looks amazing! I would highly recommend."

"If you have trees needing removal I highly recommend this company. We got a quick written estimate for the job, within 2 days of initially calling. The price was extremely competitive, and we were kept informed of progress as well as any issues. We had eight pine trees removed so this was a large residential project. If we need this service in the future for more trees, this is who we will call."

"I had a large tree about 3 feet from my neighbors fence. They were here the next day and worked till dark. Got the tree cut down on the first day and cleaned up the next. No damage to the fence and they took extra care to not damage my yard. Just an all around great experience. Fair price, great group of workers all very nice. Will definitely hire again and would recommend. A+++ business."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.

Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture. Tree-climbing varieties live primarily in western states while low-growing poison oak bushes occupy the eastern states. Treat poison oak like poison ivy to get rid of it permanently.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.
