Madrono Landscape Design Studio, Inc.
"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!"

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?
