Madrono Landscape Design Studio, Inc.
"Geoff readily understood our desire to transform our small, down-sloping, sandy front yard into a natural-appearing waterfall feature with a koi pond at the bottom, incorporating several large existing rocks. He created a wonderful design including lighting, a drip system, and a planting plan with California native plants. Then Daniel and Tomas labored to make it a reality. The team was highly experienced, knowledgeable, hard-working, reliable, and responsive. The end result looks spectacular. We found Geoff and his team to have wonderful design sense and tremendous integrity. We highly recommend Madrono Landscape Design Studio, and we now plan to have them landscape our back yard and install retaining walls."

Does homeowner's insurance cover tree removal?

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.
