How to Choose a Tree Service in the East Valley
Questions to ask before you hire, from Family Tree Trimming LLC in Apache Junction. Call or text (480) 340-7907.
Quick answer: Choose a tree service that tells you exactly who will do the work, gives you a clear price before the job starts, trims trees the right way instead of topping them, and cleans up and hauls everything away when it is done. Look at real photos of their work and read what local customers say.
Trees are a big part of how a yard in Mesa, Gilbert, Queen Creek or Apache Junction looks and feels, and a bad cut can take years to grow out. Before you hire anyone to work on your trees, use the questions below to compare companies.
1. Know what kind of work you need
Start by deciding what you are asking for. Do you want branches thinned and shaped, a dead tree taken down, or a bigger yard project? Tree trimming keeps healthy trees shaped and away from roofs and walls. Tree removal is for trees that are dead, dying, hazardous or causing damage that trimming cannot fix. If your yard needs more than trees, ask whether the same crew handles landscaping, lawn care, irrigation or artificial grass.
2. Ask who will actually do the work
With some companies, the person who gives you the price is not the person who shows up. Ask who you will be talking to and who will be in the tree. At Family Tree Trimming LLC, Cody, the owner, takes the calls, quotes the project and completes it, so there is no middle man.
3. Get a clear price before the job starts
A good quote spells out which trees are being worked on, what is being cut, and whether cleanup and haul-away are included. If two quotes are far apart, ask each company to explain what is and is not included. Call or text (480) 340-7907 or use the contact page to ask for a quote.
4. Ask how they will trim your trees
Be careful with anyone who offers to cut the top off a tree to make it shorter. Topping weakens trees and causes weak regrowth. Ask how they plan to shape the tree and which branches they will remove, and what the tree should look like when they are done.
5. Ask about timing
The best time to trim depends on the species. Many desert trees are trimmed before monsoon season, when heavy canopies can catch the wind. If you are not sure when your trees should be trimmed, ask during the quote.
6. Ask how big trees near the house will be handled
Large trees close to a home, wall or pool can still be removed. They are taken down in sections instead of being dropped all at once. Ask the company to walk you through how they plan to protect your roof, fence and landscaping.
7. Ask about cleanup
Branches, leaves and debris pile up fast. Make sure cleanup and haul-away are part of the price, so you are not left with a yard full of brush. At Family Tree Trimming LLC, branches, clippings and debris are cleaned up and hauled away when the work is done.
8. Look at photos and reviews
Real photos of finished jobs show you how a company trims and how clean they leave a yard. Read reviews from people in your area and look for comments about communication, price and cleanup. See our photo gallery and reviews.
