Family own Business 20 years exp. ISA Certified Arborist, we carry General liability insurance and worker’s comp. providing tree service such as pruning, (limited) tree planting, plant health care, tree removals and stumpgrinding at competitive prices.

"Very well! He knew where to clip and caught most of the branches and twigs, so there was very little to clean up, and he hauled them away in his own trash bin. He agreed with me and did a conservative trimming, and the tree looks very nice."

"I hired Sotelo Tree Service and was incredibly impressed with Jacob and his crew's professionalism. He responded immediately to my inquiry and provided me with a competitive quote. He also told me what to expect in terms of how the tree would look. He put out signs the night before so the street would be cleared for the truck and shredder. He and his crew arrived slightly earlier than we'd discussed and the team (3 people) completed the job including cleanup in less than an hour. Jacob also took the time to tell me how often I might trim the tree to manage it in the future. I would highly recommend Sotelo Tree Service and working with Jacob. I plan to use them yearly to manage the tree's growth and spread."

"I recently hired Rodriguez Tree Services for tree care and yard clean-up, and I must say, I am highly impressed with their work. Their team was punctual, professional, and knowledgeable. They provided a comprehensive tree care service, including trimming, pruning, and shaping. They took the time to assess the health and condition of each tree, giving personalized attention to ensure their well-being. The end result was beautifully manicured trees that enhanced the overall appearance of my yard. In addition to their tree care services, Rodriguez Tree Services also performed a thorough yard clean-up. They removed fallen branches, cleared away debris, and tidied up the entire area, leaving my yard looking pristine and well-maintained. I was particularly pleased with their attention to detail and their commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction. They listened to my specific requests and went above and beyond to deliver outstanding results. Furthermore, their pricing was fair and competitive, especially considering the high-quality work they provided. They provided a detailed breakdown of the costs upfront, so there were no surprises or hidden fees. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Rodriguez Tree Services for tree care and yard clean-up. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. I will definitely be using their services again in the future."

"Jose came by the day before my Mexican palm tree was to be removed to give a quote. He presented himself well dressed, spoke intelligently, and gave a quote $200 less than a quote I got earlier so I decided to use Arce services. Later day I received a professional invoice through email and the day before the work was to be completed, I received an automated reminder of the work to be done. He arrived the next day with a crew of 5, multiple trucks, and a wood chipper. They ‘hit the ground running’ with Jose climbing the tree with a chainsaw/ropes, and completed the work within 2 hours. All of his team were quick with a smile and worked diligently. I would use their services again in the future, and most definitely well recommend them to others!!"

"Joe and his team installed grass from scratch in our Carmel Valley home. They took away old dried up grass, re-leveled the area, installed a mesh under the grass to prevent more gophers from making holes, and installed new Marathon. It looks great! Joe and his team were very professional, and completed the work in the time they said they would. Joe cares a lot regarding the quality of the job and has excellent communication. He is both knowledgeable and friendly. When they came in we were still ruffled from a prior difficult experience with a hardscape company, and Joe and his team helped put us to ease.

FAQs for tree service projects in National City, CA

Palm tree stump removal costs $175 to $550, with pricing dependent on stump diameter and root complexity. Larger stumps with extensive root systems command higher fees. Grinding, which shreds the stump below ground level, is more economical than complete extraction. Your future landscaping intentions should guide your decision between these approaches. Discuss both methods with your tree service provider to determine which best suits your needs and budget.

Permit regulations for palm tree removal vary considerably between municipalities. Local governments charge $40 to $200 for removal authorization, with fees varying based on tree characteristics and local ordinances. Protected species may require additional documentation or expert assessment. Contact your local planning department or building authority before scheduling removal to understand specific requirements and avoid potential penalties for unauthorized tree removal.

Healthy, desirable palm varieties occasionally have resale value, though finding buyers willing to handle transplantation can prove challenging. Depending on tree size and complexity, transplanting services cost between $400 and $5,000. While selling might offset some expenses, realistic expectations are important as the transplant market fluctuates significantly. Contact local landscapers or nurseries to gauge interest before committing to this approach.

Palm tree removal duration varies based on tree dimensions and site conditions. Smaller palms under 30 feet require just a few hours, while larger specimens may need a full day or more. Factors like proximity to structures, access limitations, and weather conditions can extend timeframes. Professional crews work systematically to ensure safety throughout the process, so flexibility in scheduling helps accommodate any unexpected challenges.

Palm trees growing near utility lines present serious safety concerns. Contact your local municipality to determine if assistance programs exist for trees threatening public infrastructure. Professional tree services with utility line experience should handle these removals, as they understand proper safety protocols and coordination requirements. Never attempt to trim or remove trees near power lines yourself, as this presents extreme danger of electrical injury.

Standard homeowners' policies often exclude routine palm tree removal costs. However, if a storm or covered incident damages your palm tree, causing it to fall or threaten structures, insurance may contribute toward removal expenses. Coverage generally applies when the tree damages insured property or blocks essential access. Review your specific policy details and thoroughly document the tree's condition if filing a claim. For elective removal of healthy trees, budget for out-of-pocket expenses.
