Highly recommend.” — Linda M. “I can't say enough good things about The Tree Guy. Very responsive, very professional, GOOD ADVICE, EXPERT in his area and just a kind, honest, good person. I just wish everyone else was like him. I own a multifamily unit and I hire different people for maintenance and repair all the time and he is the nicest, most honest, most professional contractor I dealt with.” — Samal L. “Jonathan's team was so quick and efficient. We had 4 cypress trees removed and a trim done on another tree. Highly recommend.” — Ashley B. “I highly recommend Jonathan and his team. From the very beginning when providing us with a quote, Jonathan is friendly, goofy, down to earth, prompt, reliable, and fair. He provided us with an estimate sent via professional email document with insurance protection coverage for his workers (in case anything happens, but it is very rare as everything is safe as possible) and photos of the property tree line cut. Jonathan also had recommendations for future trees we can plant and how to maintain our current trees. Thankful such an amazing, far reaching, reputable business can start with one guy who cares deeply for his family and neighbors. Thank you for all!” — Pau A. “Very much recommend. We had two large trees we needed to remove. Reached out based on the reviews here. Very responsive, professional. Came out quickly to assess and provide an extremely competitive estimate. Booking was very easy. They showed up on time, worked quickly, very respectful and cleaned up! Would recommend and use again.” — Natalja F.

When trees are healthy, they’re beautiful landscape features that improve the environment. However, situations often arise where big trees become safety hazards and need to be removed. At The Tree Guy, we provide expert tree removal in the greater Ventura, CA area. Here’s a look at five signs that your tree is posing a safety risk. Leaning One of the most obvious signs of a potential safety hazard is a tree that leans excessively or tilts in an unnatural direction. While some trees naturally have a slight lean, a noticeable tilt may indicate issues with the tree's root system or structural integrity. Such trees are often more prone to toppling over during high winds. Cracks and Cavities Cracks, splits, and cavities can be indications of internal decay or disease, compromising the tree's structural integrity. As the decay progresses, the risk of branches or the entire tree falling increases. Issues with Roots The health of a tree's root system is crucial to its stability. Signs of root issues include exposed roots and soil upheaval. Construction activities, soil compaction, and disease are common contributors to root problems. When a tree's roots are compromised, it negatively affects its ability to anchor itself securely in the soil. Decay and Fungal Growth Visible signs of decay, such as soft or crumbly wood, may indicate internal issues within the tree. Fungal growth on the trunk or around the base is another red flag. Fungi can weaken the wood, making it more susceptible to breakage or collapse. Dead/Hanging Branches Dead or hanging branches, commonly referred to as "widowmakers," pose a serious risk as they can fall unexpectedly. If you notice hanging branches that could detach with a gust of wind, it's crucial to address the issue promptly. Pruning dead or hanging branches not only mitigates the risk, but also promotes the overall health of the tree.

Selecting the right tree for your property is a decision that goes beyond aesthetics. Choosing the perfect tree requires careful consideration to give it the best chance of thriving in its new environment. By taking certain factors into consideration during your selection process, it’s more likely that your tree will serve the purpose you seek, without becoming a hazard as it grows larger. Here’s a look at four things to consider before purchasing and planting a new tree on your property. Soil Conditions One of the most crucial factors in selecting a tree is understanding your particular soil conditions. Different tree species have specific soil requirements. Soil pH and drainage play a significant role in a tree's health. Conduct a soil test to identify the soil type in your yard and choose a tree that can thrive in those conditions. Space and Location Consider the available space in your yard before selecting a tree. Some trees require more room to spread out, while others are more compact. Take into account the mature size of the tree and its growth habits. Avoid planting large trees close to structures or power lines, as their roots and branches may cause issues over time. Also, be mindful of the tree's sunlight requirements and place it in an area that receives the appropriate amount of sunlight for optimal growth. Maintenance Different tree species demand varying levels of maintenance. Consider the amount of care you are willing to provide, including watering, pruning, and pest control. Some trees are more disease-resistant and hardy, making them suitable for low-maintenance landscapes. Purpose and Benefits Consider the purpose of planting a new tree in your landscape. Priorities might include shade, seasonal flowers, and fruit production. Different trees offer various benefits, such as wildlife habitat and erosion control. Understanding the purpose of planting a tree will help you narrow down your options and select one that aligns with your goals.

While tree stumps may seem harmless, they can pose several drawbacks to the attractiveness and functionality of your property. By removing stumps, you can improve your home’s curb appeal, while also reducing the risk of insect infestations and tripping accidents. At The Tree Guy, we provide expert stump grinding and removal in the greater Ventura area. Here are five reasons to remove tree stumps. Enhanced Aesthetics Whether you have a well-manicured garden or a sprawling lawn, removing stumps can instantly enhance the overall aesthetics of your property. The clean, open space created by stump removal is more pleasing to the eye, and gives you more space for attractive landscaping. Prevent Tripping Hazards Stumps can be hazardous, especially when they're hidden by grass or other vegetation. These hidden obstacles pose a tripping hazard for both residents and visitors, leading to potential injuries. Removing stumps eliminates this risk, making your property safer for everyone, especially children who love to play outdoors. Avoid Pest Infestations Tree stumps can become breeding grounds for various pests, including termites, ants, and beetles. These pests can eventually make their way into your home or other structures on your property, causing damage and requiring costly extermination services. Removing stumps helps eliminate the potential for pest infestations, keeping your property better protected. More Usable Space When you remove large tree stumps from your yard, you’ll have more room to create beautiful flower beds or a productive veggie garden. In some situations, removing stumps is necessary to create the space needed to install a new patio or other hardscaping project. Easier Mowing and Maintenance Lawn maintenance becomes much more straightforward without tree stumps in the way. Mowing around stumps can be challenging and time-consuming, potentially resulting in uneven and unsightly grass. Removing stumps makes mowing easier, while also decreasing the risk of damage to your mower.
