Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Tree Service
When you are looking to hire a tree service Santa Rosa residents trust, it is important to consider the nature of the work. What type of tree service do you require? A simple trimming? Hazard tree removal? Stump grinding? Tree work can be a dangerous job, especially when removing trees close to targets. That is why it is important to hire someone who is licensed and carries all the appropriate insurances to protect both you the property owner, and the employees working on your property.

While this tree trend is growing in popularity in some areas, tree topping is not recommended because it can cause starvation to the tree and, when it is topped, the new growth that occurs is rapid and the limbs that grow are poorly attached. Fortunately, you have other options! Another alternative is to see if making proper reduction cuts to another branch of similar size is enough to achieve the desired overall height.
Mitigation: Instead of topping the tree you may consider a complete removal especially if it is already not doing well. Another alternative is to see if making proper reduction can reduce the size cuts to another lateral branch of a similar size. When in doubt, consult a reputable tree service company like Ultimate Tree Service.
The answer to this question will vary based on a few different factors. Depending on the city you are located in and the type of tree you are removing, you may be required to have a tree removal permit.

In addition, the total cost of a tree removal permit varies based on your location and the number of trees you’re looking to have removed.
A qualified arborist is someone who claims to have some degree of knowledge regarding trees. That knowledge and competency is unmeasurable and would rely on anecdotal information to determine contracting with them.
