FAQs
Is there a cost for an estimate?
No, all estimates are free of charge. Call our office and we can arrange to have an estimator meet you at your property.
Do you top trees?
Topping is no longer a recommended pruning method to cut a tree down in height in most cases. It is actually harmful to the health of the tree. Your estimator can discuss other methods of pruning to maintain a certain height, and to try to repair trees that have been damaged by topping.
Do I need a tree removal permit?
Tree removal permit regulations are different in every city. You will need to check the guidelines in the city your tree is located in. Our certified arborists/estimators will be happy to assist you through the process.
Does your company use spikes to climb the trees?
We do not use spikes to climb trees that we are pruning. We will only use spikes if we are removing the tree or for a rare safety issue.
Are you licensed and insured?
This is a very good question, and should be asked of every contractor you are thinking of hiring. We are licensed contractors through the California State License Board (CSLB). We are also fully insured with liability, vehicle insurance and Workers Compensation. We will be happy to provide you with proof of insurance.
Does your company spray trees with pesticides for insects?
We feel that if your tree is healthy it can withstand an attack from common insects. We recommend maintaining your tree with regular pruning and fertilizing to keep it strong and healthy. However, in some cases the use of pesticides are necessary, and we can recommend a reputable pest control service.
