Saguaro Cactus

Saguaro Cactus Removal

Saguaro cacti can make a great addition to any property, but always remember that Saguaro cactus are giant plants that must be respected. Not only are Saguaro cacti protected by law, but due to their size and weight, have the ability to crush anything in their path. Although large cactus species such as Saguaro can add aesthetics and value to your property, they can also grow at an amazingly quick pace when allowed to grow in captivity. This often happens because most yards use an irrigation or drip system. Cactus such as Saguaro will send its surface root system in all directions searching for a water source, and once found, the growth and size of the cactus can actually outgrow the ability of its root system to support itself. This is the reason that many Saguaro cacti in captivity will lean as they grow taller, and in many cases, they can fall to the ground without warning. In addition to their fast growth rate in captivity, Saguaro cacti are also susceptible to air-borne disease and infection, such as Bacterial Necrosis, which attacks the cactus from the inside, oftentimes not even visible until the health condition of the cactus is beyond repair.

Saguaro Cactus Removal

Situations such as these are the most dangerous, because the cactus can randomly fall to the ground, crushing everything in its path, such as homes, vehicles, and in some cases, even people.  This is one of the many reasons to have cactus removal performed in Scottsdale & Phoenix, since it is not worth risking property or persons over a cactus that is unsafe.

The Saguaro cactus pictured might look small and tame, but this desert plant can quickly grow to over 1,000 pounds! Not to mention, Saguaro cacti can grow to over 30 feet tall (talk about a growth spurt!) The dangers of Saguaro cacti increase with age, height and overall size of the cactus.

The older that Saguaros become, the higher the risk for blow-overs, dropping arms, and diseases such as ‘Bacterial Necrosis’. If you live in Arizona, you already are well aware of the risk of monsoon storms. In Phoenix & Scottsdale, monsoon storms are known to knock down Saguaro cacti that have stood for decades. It’s these random storm events that make having a diseased or leaning cactus on your property so dangerous. Just remember that the cost of Saguaro cactus removal is always cheaper than letting it fall on your car or house. 🏠

If you have a Saguaro cactus that may need removed, make sure to consult with an Arborist ASAP. Did you know that it’s illegal to have a Saguaro cactus removed in Arizona without an Arborist inspection & sign-off? One reason is because the Saguaro cactus is a plant that is protected by law. Another reason is because Saguaro cactus removal can be dangerous. (See the picture of the Saguaro at the very top of this page? They waited too long to have their Saguaro cactus removed!)🚗🌵

Prickly Pear Cactus

Prickly Pear Cactus Removal

Prickly Pear Cactus can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but one thing is common, don’t touch them! Prickly Pear Cacti are one of the thorniest and most painful cacti to get poked with; the thorns have microscopic barbs that can get stuck in your skin (ouch!) Prickly Pear Cactus can be found throughout Phoenix and Scottsdale, and can make a great addition to your property. However, these cacti will continue to grow and expand in all directions, especially if they have access to water. This is one reason it’s important to understand that a Prickly Pear Cactus can grow too large for your yard. A Prickly Pear Cacti that is watered can grow at 10 times the rate of a Prickly Pear in the wild (can we say, growing pains?)

If the cactus removal is located a long distance from the street, removal of a larger cactus such as Saguaro may be more expensive.

  • I know the owner on a personal as well as professional basis, and I can tell you that he runs an honest and straightforward business, and that their office and management work very hard to make sure their customers are satisfied. I told their owner that I would write them a review as a thank you for teaching me a lot of great knowledge about my trees when their general manager came out to meet with me for the free estimate. Thanks for wanting to help customers!

  • If have used Scottsdale Tree Trimmers recently, and I recommended them to my friend, and they like myself were impressed. I said it once and I'll keep saying it there's a difference between a tree trimmer and an Arborist, and that difference is nuance. Your company is professional yet personable, I feel like a customer and a friend. I will keep using you and recommend you to my friends and family.

    When Dan came to our house to give us an estimate for the tree work to be done, he was very friendly, professional, and clearly knew what he was talking about. He explained everything about the work to be done, who would be doing it, and how it would benefit our landscape and yard. We look forward to working with him for many, many years to come. Job well done!
