Tree Service in Phoenix, AZ

Tree care built for Phoenix heat and monsoons, led by an ISA Certified Arborist.

Phoenix is one of the hardest places in the country to be a tree. Summer highs regularly top 110 degrees, the city’s urban heat island keeps nights warm, rain is scarce for most of the year, and then the monsoon arrives with wind gusts strong enough to snap limbs and topple shallow-rooted trees. Trees that thrive here do so because someone takes good care of them.

Tree Care Built for Phoenix Conditions

Heat Stress and Sunscald

Overpruning in Phoenix can expose bark to intense sun and cause sunscald, which weakens limbs and invites pests. Our pruning keeps enough canopy to shade the trunk and major branches, and we schedule heavy work for cooler months whenever we can.

Monsoon Readiness

Dense canopies act like sails in a monsoon. Thinning reduces wind resistance and the risk of limb failure. Having desert trees thinned before mid-June is one of the best investments a Phoenix homeowner can make.

Mature and Historic Trees

Phoenix’s historic districts and older neighborhoods have some of the most impressive trees in the Valley: large pines, ash, elm, pecan, eucalyptus and decades-old citrus. Many neighborhoods, especially in central Phoenix and Arcadia, use flood irrigation, which grows big trees with shallow roots. These trees need experienced hands.

Common Tree Problems in Phoenix

  • Large pines and eucalyptus dropping limbs in storms
  • Citrus overpruned and sunburned
  • Mesquites and palo verdes with heavy, dense canopies
  • Ash and elm declining from age and heat stress
  • Leaning trees on flood-irrigated lots
  • Sissoo roots damaging pools and plumbing

Our Phoenix Tree Services

Tree trimming and pruning. Standards-based pruning to ISA guidelines: deadwood removal, canopy thinning, crown raising and clearance from roofs and structures. We never top trees.

Tree removal. Safe removal of dead, dangerous or unwanted trees, including large trees in tight urban lots.

Crane-assisted tree removal. For big trees with no clear drop zone, a crane lets us remove sections and lift them out over homes, pools and walls.

Stump grinding below grade, with cleanup.

Sissoo removal. Sissoo roots are a common cause of pool and plumbing damage across Phoenix. We remove the tree and address the stump and roots.

Storm damage cleanup. We clear fallen trees and broken limbs after monsoon storms and make damaged trees safe.

Arborist consultations. If a tree is declining, leaning or showing signs of disease, an ISA Certified Arborist can diagnose the problem and recommend next steps.

Fertilization and planting. Deep root fertilization for stressed trees and expert help choosing heat-tolerant trees for new plantings.

From start to finish, the customer service was spot on, and the crew who came to trim our date palms, diamond cut the trunks, and cut the dates off, were fantastic! They accommodated our needs, and when it rained the day before they came, the crew told me they weren't comfortable doing the diamond cut at that time, and wanted to come back to complete that part of their service, so they could protect the tree. That sold me, as they showed they care about the trees and doing the right thing! We will be having them out yearly after great service and quality work like this! 🙂

Jesus and his crew did an outstanding job on our ailing mesquite! It was nice that Randy, a certified arborist, had evaluated the tree beforehand and determined what needed to be done. The work was executed impeccably, with great care and efficient cleanup. We had less expensive bids, but we are glad we decided on Heartwood.

I chose Heartwood after reviewing several other companies to trim eight trees on our property. Their online reviews looked great, and they were wonderful to deal with. Communication was regular and schedules were accurate, from the initial assessment and bid to the completed project. The extra care the team took to cleaning up and leaving the grounds better than when they arrived was much appreciated.

The Heartwood tree care team really knows their stuff. Their knowledge is appreciated because they pay attention to trimming the tree you need trimmed in context with other trees you have around and the long-term health of your tree. They're not chop happy. They do a good job and clean up well. They're also very professional and courteous. I'm so glad I was referred to them and I'd recommend them to anyone who cares about their garden.

I had a great experience with this company.. Howard the certified arborist was professional, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, honest. He took the time to thoroughly assess my trees, cleanly explained his findings, and answered all of my questions without trying to sell me services I didn't need. I really appreciated his straightforward approach and the detailed information he provided, which helped me make informed decisions about my property. I left the appointment feeling confident and well-informed. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for trustworthy, professional tree care services, and I will not hesitate to use them again in the future. Highly satisfied!

I have only great things to say about this company! From the interaction with Randy for the estimate for my tree trimming project, questions for Brittany in the office and Will with the tree trimming crew, and the guys on the crew, everyone was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. They did an amazing job cleaning my yard after the work started. I think it is actually cleaner now than when they started. I also received advice of care for one of my mesquite trees that have been struggling for years. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again. Thank you to the entire team at Heartwood Tree Care!!!

Excellent tree service! This is the 5th time we have used Heartwood for various tree and cacti jobs in the last 6 years. From tipu and live oak felling and stump grinding to ironwood trimming to saguaro removal. This time it was trimming our Texas ebonies. Professional and hard working. Quality work. Nice clean-up as well. Worth every penny! Shout out to Will, great job and thank you!

Our HOA made us take down our GIANT pine tree. We hated to do it, but "you can't fight city hall." The representative from Heartwood was very professional and I got the feeling that he didn't really want to cut down such a big, healthy tree. The crew did a great job and cleaned up all of the debris from the tree. Even the pine needles that were on our roof. We will be using Heartwood to plant a new tree in the fall.
