Ponderosa Tree Service Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does it cost to remove a tree?
A: "Cost varies depending on the size and accessibility of the tree. The price range can run from several hundred dollars to $2,500, depending on the tree and the size of the crew needed to remove it."
Q: How quickly can you get to a job?
A: "Depending on the size of the job or based on your needs, we can usually get to it within one week or less—sometimes as early as the very next day. It can also depend on the time of year and the occurrence of extreme weather events."
Q: Do you offer tree shaping and trimming?
A: "Yes. One of our primary specialties is maintaining the aesthetics of trees. We’re often hired to handle fine and delicate pruning."
Q: Do you work with homeowners’ associations?
A: "We work with some HOAs. Typically, we’ll do a site survey with an HOA board member to review all the trees on a property and make recommendations regarding their aesthetics and safety."
Q: Are permits required for tree removal or pruning?
A: "Permits vary from city to city. In most cases, you only need a permit for removing a tree. Permits are determined by the tree’s species and size."
Q: What’s safety pruning?
A: "Safety pruning is when we determine if trees have long, heavy limbs that are in danger of breaking and trim them accordingly. Each tree has different safety needs and eccentricities, but the idea is to reduce the potential for limbs to break and cause property damage or worse."
