"Justin and Benjamin did an amazing and fantastic job on our out of control tree that was located in our backyard that was literally reaching one of its branches to our neighbors porch. Our neighbor was so happy that we finally got this done. Our tree in the front also received some care too. Our tress are now absolutely beautiful. Theses guys are licensed professional arborist that I would highly recommend. Note: They did top quality work and their bid came in the lowest. Thank You Guys 😊 "
"Since 1992, I have had a massive coastal redwood cleaned very few years. I have never, ever, had as good a job as done my New Sky Tree Service. Not only did they eliminate dead material, they opened the entire tree up for more circulation and sunlight. The cleanup afterwards left the ground looking manicured and spotless. The workers were pleasant and professional. And because the owner is both a certified arborist and certifies tree surgeon, I am confident the job was done right. Highest praise for these folks. This was the first time I used them, but definitely not the last!"
"Great job."
"Great service! Very professional, arrived when scheduled, quick and cleaned up before leaving. In addition, I was notified when team was on the way, arrived and when done to inspect the work. Will definitely use MS Tree Service in the future. Thank you Santiago and Maria!"
"Very efficient."
"I am very impressed. I received a phone response from Jorge who said he’d be at my house at 3pm. At 2:55pm. Two fellows showed up and immediately went to work, removing an out-of-control shrub/tree. At 4:45pm the job was almost completed. These guys were proficient, skilled, courteous and professional. They plan to return tomorrow to take out the stumps. Their fee is very reasonable. I’d like to recommend Edwin Lopez Tree Services to anyone needing their services. "
"Had to reschedule a visit for a quote a couple times but other than that they were timely and professional and did a great job cleaning and trimming our yard."
"Great service"
"Jonathan did a great job cleaning up the garden and pruning back the podocarpus. He listened to what I asked him to do and went above and beyond. I am very pleased with his work. Recommended!"
"Great job!"
"Charlie is very communicative and easy to work with. He is accommodating of our evolving requests and we have developed a good partnership in beautifying our yard"
"Geoffrey and his team did a great job listening to our desires and translating them into a front wall, planters and storage area with lighting and drip system that complements the existing 100 year old house. He was patient as we went through a few design iterations until we had an executable plan that worked well in the space and met our needs. His team does quality work and the worksite was left clean and secure each day. Focusing on native plantings is a big plus. Getting complements from the neighbors too!"
"Juan was very responsive and did a great job clearing the yard. I would definitely hire him again. I am very pleased."
"Bernard was prompt and thorough. The repair turned out to be very simple for someone who really knew what he was doing, but I hadn't been able to figure it out for myself."
If your property includes trees, you will sooner or later find yourself needing an arborist. This tree care professional can help you take care of sick trees, prune them to keep them healthy, and perform a variety of other tasks specifically designed to make sure that your property and all of its greenery remains in good shape.
If, when the time comes, you need help finding an arborist near you, enter your zip code to be connected today to local arbor care companies. In that case, here's everything you need to know before starting the process.
As mentioned above, an arborist is a tree care specialist. Here's how the International Society of Arboriculture defines the profession: "An arborist, by definition, is an individual trained in the art and science of planting, caring for, and maintaining individual trees. Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care."
In other words, an arborist is specifically qualified to help improve and maintain the health of any trees on your property. They can prune your trees, spot early signs of disease and damage, or remove them if necessary. Keeping your trees healthy is crucial to both the value and safety of your property, and the right arborist can help you achieve that goal.
Of course, not everyone who claims to be qualified to take care of your trees actually is. That's why when looking for an arborist near you, you should always make sure that they are licensed to perform the work necessary to maintain, prune, or cut down your trees.
Certification by the International Society of Arboriculture is voluntary. Still, it results in a type of quality seal that will be invaluable for you in choosing a professional to work with. Other potential certifications that carry similar weight are the American Society of Consulting Arborists, the Tree Care Industry Association, or your local/state arborists' association.
Arborists certified by these organizations follow a code of ethics that ensure they take every decision and action with the trees' health in mind. In addition, the associations make it a point to keep their members up-to-date with the latest industry trends and best practices, ensuring that a professional who carries this certification will take care of your property as well as possible.
Naturally, the costs of hiring an arborist depend significantly on the exact services you need. Some arborists offer a free tree health inspection, allowing you to evaluate whether further services are needed. Most of our homeowners report that pruning services cost an average of $691 per visit, while tree cutting can cost more than $1,000.
Of course, a number of variables play into these averages. The number and size of the trees on your property is the biggest variable to keep in mind. In addition, the health, type, and location of the tree also matter in determining how much hiring an arborist will actually cost.
