Does anyone have any recommendations? We are in far north Dallas if it matters.

I just used "Personal Touch" tree service. They took out a tree between my house and the neighbors (i was afraid it would fall on my house). $285 to take the tree and $100 extra for the stump. Didn't even leave any sawdust. Jim Breaux @ 214 328-7213

Thanks. We have two medium sized trees in our backyard and about 4 others that need significant trimming. I'll check him out.

I have a guy, but his card is at home. I'll post his name and number tonight if you still need one. He did a great job.

Thanks aggiechick. That would be great.

Davey Tree Service is top notch and have donated work for various community causes I have been involved with.

I used Ruben Lira. He did a great job and was very reasonable. 214-454-0681.

I have a live oak that needs some significant trimming, but would like some advice on which branches I can cut, that wouldn't harm the tree. I can make the cuts and repairs myself, just don't want to over cut it.

My only recommendation for tree service is to ask for a copy of their insurance certificate AND call and verify with their agent/carrier that coverage is still in place right before they start work. The good tree companies will have the certs with them at all times, the bad ones will cost you your house if something were to happen on your property. As you can imagine, the good ones aren't usually the cheapest.

Have used Arborilogical Services on more than 1 occasion
