Planting a tree is a lifelong investment. How well this investment grows depends on the type of tree selected and the planting location, the care provided during planting, and the follow-up care after planting. Let us take you through the hassle-free, proven process of picking the right species based on your needs and goals, preparing the ground and planting your new tree.
Mature trees are pruned differently than their younger variety. They must be trimmed so that dead branches are removed to allow for new growth. This also keeps the tree healthy by removing any branches that are diseased. This pruning type is referred to as cleaning. Certain types of trees such as citrus, mulberry, & pines require specific pruning in certain seasons to allow for proper growth.
Your trees provide natural allure and much-needed shade to your landscape. That's why tree trimming in Phoenix, AZ is important - it's one of the best ways to ensure your trees keep their beauty and health for many seasons to come. But when it comes to tree trimming, DIY isn't always the best or safest way to go.
Tree removal in Phoenix is an unfortunate, but very necessary part of arboriculture and one that Design Tree Maintenance executes professionally and safely. Our goal is and has always been, to provide services that keep trees healthy, but there are instances when removal is the best alternative for the landscape and homeowner.

I rely on the arborist (Nick Thiel) in the maintenance of a large mesquite tree in my side yard and have done for a number of years. The crews that trim the tree that overhangs the house take care when dropping or lowering heavy pieces so as not to cause damage. They do a good clean up afterwards as well. I have not had any storm damage since I began service and am confident that things are in the best shape possible.

We lost a large branch off of a tree in a storm today. Called design tree and they sent a crew member named Chris to our house to clean it up. He arrived an hour after I called and he did a fantastic job cleaning it up. Both Design Tree and Chris get a gold star from me. Thanks

Second time we've used Design Tree Maintenance. Our son has used them as well. They removed a large pine in backyard a couple years ago and they did such a great job then, so we used them again. Ben, one of their Arborists, had come out couple weeks ago and went through the yard listening to our concerns and what we needed done. His recommendations were great.
Two remaining Pines were treated by a technician, he explained to us how to use the treatment each month that he left with us, after treating the tree and roots.
The tree crew came and took down 2 pines that were diseased that

I love these guys! They trimmed my cherished canary palm and did an amazing job as you can see by the before and after photos. Plus they performed a precision tree takedown of another tree in my front yard that got destroyed by a microburst in August. I will always call these guys for all my tree needs and suggest you do too!

After living here in the Phoenix area for over 30 years, I've finally decided to use a tree service. I've always done my own. I love trees and have several onsite, after the Aug 17th 2020 storm (2) of my beautiful trees were damaged and the hand writing was on the wall. Conditions are changing and the trees had gotten large. I found Design Tree Maintenance thru a wrong number, I spoke to the guy and he said "this is your lucky day, I've used this company for years. They have never disappointed." So I gave them a call and with all the wind damage I had to wait almost a week but it was worth it.

If there were a ZERO rating, that is what they deserve.
**NEVER HIRE**
They charged for a city permit of $2,000 they NEVER GOT. Charged for services NOT NEEDED, but trusted the word of their certified auborist. All total, they OVER CHARGED THOUSANDS! Asked for money back or proof they got the permit, which they couldn't, the owner told me "no refund So, what are you going to do about it?" *NEVER HIRE!!!!*

I hesitate to leave a bad review, especially since it has been nearly four months since Design Tree performed a service on my tree. The first issue was a nearly illegible invoice because the print was so small. I take full responsibility for agreeing to pay $1350 to prune a Desert Willow Tree that was damaged during a storm, lightly prune two other trees in our backyard, and diagnose and treat a very large grapefruit. Admittedly I did not get other estimates; instead I relied on a recommendation from a neighbor.
On the day of the work, the arborist was not present to supervise, as I might

The workers did a nice job with trimming our palms - very neat. However the arborists are very unorganized. Don't return calls or texts, then when I finally spoke with him - he scheduled the wrong day (when I knew I was out of town). I spoke with them on the phone while they were there trimming. I told them I would not pay until I saw the results when I got home late that evening. The Admin office guaranteed me they would not run my card until I called the following morning to give authorization. Well they didn't wait - they ran it anyway. I don't recommend this company due

The job was large in clear cutting a large number off shoot-based trees on our Church property that were causing a traffic hazard on a busy street and also restricting views of our church for guests. On all measurements of cost, responsiveness and quality, the result was excellent. The first photo shows the start of the project and associated resources. The second picture reveals the results which conformed to our request.

Just had Design Tree out again and still can't say enough about this company. This time Melvin's crew came out and trimmed 2 full sized trees, remuchled two backyard trees and adjusted tension poles, and removed a dead tree & replaced it with a very beautiful, full, & tall thornless mesquite. Melvin & his crew were very professional, courteous, & careful while on my property.
Also if you're looking for a good arborist, ask Design Tree to send BEN to your house. He is very knowledgeable & professional & will help determine what your trees need for them to

They were supposed to trim my palm tree an pyrocantha bush. They did a good job trimming the palm tree. I even left a note on the gate as to how much I wanted the pyrocantha bus trimmed. When I came home they had cut the pyrocantha bush back much farther than I had said over the phone and said in the note. They also trimmed my bogenvia bushes way back and I did not even ask for those to be trimmed
