Tree trimming costs in Peoria vary based on several factors, including the size and type of tree, its condition, accessibility, and the extent of trimming required. Small trees (under 30 ft) might range from $75-$450, medium trees (30-60 ft) from $250-$700, and large trees (over 60 ft) can cost $500-$1000 or more.

There's some debate, but common recommendations include late winter (dormant season, minimizes stress) or after the spring bloom (usually May) if you want to maximize flowering. Some sources also suggest summer pruning for fast-growing desert trees. Avoid heavy pruning during extreme summer heat. Light pruning to remove dead or crossing branches can often be done year-round. We can advise on the best timing for your specific Palo Verde trees during an assessment. (Read our detailed blog post on trimming Palo Verde trees for more info).
Yes, generally. Saguaros are protected native plants in Arizona. Removing a Saguaro cactus, even on private property, typically requires permission from the landowner and a permit (including tags) from the Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA). Transporting or selling them also requires permits. Attempting removal without the proper permits can lead to significant fines. We are experienced with the permitting process and can guide you through it. Visit our Cactus Removal page for more details.
Monsoon preparation is crucial to minimize storm damage. Key steps include: 1) **Proper Pruning:** Thinning the canopy allows wind to pass through more easily, reducing the 'sail effect'. Remove dead, damaged, or weak branches. 2) **Deep Watering:** Encourage deep root growth by watering deeply but less frequently, making trees more stable. 3) **Health Check:** Ensure trees are healthy and free from disease or pests, which can weaken them. 4) **Avoid Over-Pruning:** Excessive pruning can weaken a tree; consult a professional arborist. We offer pre-monsoon inspections and trimming services. (Read our detailed blog post on monsoon prep for more tips).
Stump grinding uses a machine to shred the stump down to 6-12 inches below ground level, leaving wood chips behind. It's less invasive and more cost-effective for most residential needs. Stump *removal* involves excavating the entire stump and major root ball, which is much more disruptive and usually only necessary for construction purposes. See our Stump Grinding page for details.
