Tree Removal Services In Your Area

"Oscar and his crew did an amazing job cleaning up my front and back yards, removing two problem trees which were planted too close to the house many years ago, out of control oleander bushes, an overgrown aloe patch and other assorted weeds and plants which had taken over the front and back yards. They worked quickly and efficiently, and left everything as nest as a pin. I could not ask for more and I would definitely hire them again in the future should the need arise. They even fixed a stump which was inadequately removed by a previous tree service company, and informed me of another incomplete stump removal, which I will have the other company come back and address. I would not believe what they were able to accomplish in 5 hours if I did not see it myself!"

"Ramon was great to work with! Very professional, friendly and replied very fast to our request. The service provided by Nature Care Tree Specialists was simply amazing! I can't recommend enough using this company if you're looking for a tree specialist. Ramon also gave us a fair quote and we booked the service on the spot. We needed to get 3 trees trimmed at our front garden (about 20 feet) and Ramon did it very quickly, gave us tips to maintain our garden and he left everything impeccable. I will definitely keep using this company in the future. "

"Miguel contacted me quickly and his quote was competitive. He and his team came exactly when they said they would, and did a good job of clearing my backyard. Minus one star for someone on his team accidentally cutting down a four year-old persimmon tree."

"Augustine came out same day to provide me with a quote and two days later showed up to perform the work. His team was on time, professional and courteous. They left my backyard clean and removed the massive ash tree that was dying. The price was more than fair and I would recommend them to anyone that needs a tree removed and stump ground down. "

"They were up front, honest, and did what they said they'd do for the price quoted. Having interviewed several contractors it was obvious that their prices were competitive. It only became a matter of end product and they passed. Their number is now in my wife's little pink book and that is reserved for only special people."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to take down a tree?

The average price of removing a tree ranges between $400 and $2,000. Small trees up to 75 feet high typically cost $1,000 or less, while those above 75 feet range up to $1,800 and more. Foliage condition of and access also factor into that range.

  • Limb chipping: $65 - $150
  • Trunk removal: $40 - $120
  • Firewood log splitting: $50 - $100

Does homeowner's insurance cover tree removal?

Home insurance only covers tree removal if it's already fallen and has caused damage. General yard maintenance, like pruning branches or removing a dying tree, is not included in most policies. If you have a fallen tree on your property, check with your insurance company to see if it covers the price to remove it.

Should I remove a tree close to my house?

You should remove a tree that's closer than 10 to 15 feet to your home because it can pose major problems. The roots can damage your foundation and pipes. If it falls, the chance of damage to your home is significant.

Removing a tree that close to your home requires extra care and planning. You have to make sure that no parts of your home or roof are in jeopardy. Most professionals recommend extracting the roots as well as the trunk and limbs.

What questions should I ask tree removal companies?

  • Can you provide up-to-date certification and insurance?
  • What are your credentials and how long have you been in business?
  • Do you have a certified arborist on staff?
  • Do you have references that I can check before committing to a contract?
  • Will you provide a detailed written estimate?
  • Will this job require a permit or HOA clearance?
  • Do you expect any upfront payment before the work begins?
  • What equipment will you use to cut down and remove the tree?
  • How long will the job take?
  • What safety precautions will your crew take to protect themselves and my home?
  • How will you ensure minimal damage to my property around the tree?
  • What's your cleanup process?
