| - We had an average size Aleppo Pine in our front yard that unfortunately started dying. I didn't know much about pines, so I wanted to see if trimming was an option or if removal was in my future. I believe in doing the research and looking into your options for skill and price before committing to any company for any particular job. I called around to many of the valley tree service companies for quotes and general info, and out of everyone, Howard at Heartwood Tree Care impressed me the most. He got back to me quickly, showed obvious expertise as an arborist when he came out to assess the situation, and had the best price by far! He seemed more interested in helping me than making money on a quick job. Howard took the time to explain the pine blight my tree had, and how he could trim it for me (which a lot of companies were suggesting), but due to the type of disease and amount of damage so far, it would be best (and more cost effective) to do a full removal. I appreciate the honesty so I didn't have pay for a trim and then a removal later. We were a little nervous about the big tree being so close to our house, but when Howard came out for the removal, he put our concerns at ease and explained the process and his specific method of felling trees that he learned and perfected in Oregon with trees much much larger than ours. He took great care while initially trimming branches and even protecting the sidewalk and street with those branches before making his precise cuts in the trunk to drop the heavy tree exactly were he said it would fall. After everything, Howard even offered to trim a couple dead branches on another tree in our yard free of charge, just because it needed to be done, and he was there and willing. Needless to say, we were very impressed with the professionalism, expertise, kindness, and quick work. I will recommend Heartwood Tree Care to anyone who needs a good arborist.
