"This was a multi-faceted job. Two large trees in front yard, a mesquite and a palo verde, needed trimming beyond a ladder's reach. The crew leader Diaz climbed the trees with safety ropes and harness to reach and thin the two trees. He also lightened at least one third of the weight of a tree in the rear yard, leaving the portions needed to maintain privacy. Arborist Jack then visited my property in order to design a support for that tree to preclude the likelihood of it falling and damaging pool equipment and the house, which was subsequently installed by a specialist technician. Good job in all respects."

"Ignacio and his guys were great!! They trimmed one large Palo Verde and one large Mesquite. The work was done in a timely manner and the trees came out perfect. They also removed one small tree and did a nice job on that also. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you so much for an awesome job!! ð ð"

"A certified arborist came out and diagnosed what needed to be done to help my heat-damaged trees. He advised on watering and fertilizing techniques that might help them. A few days later someone treated the trees with fertilizer, leaving more for me to use. A few days after that a crew of tree-trimmers trimmed dead branches and even cut out a couple of uninvited trees that wanted to take over the existing ones. The crews were courteous and professional.

"Working with Ortega Landscaping is great, always on time and fair pricing. Although cutting my grass is simple, only one tree and no bushes. He also does other yard things, like planters and recommends different aspects...jchaney"

"

Craig was a pleasure to work with.  After receiving a very fair bid for the work, he followed up with a phone call to see if I had any further questions and to schedule the removal.  Him and his crew treated me with patience and respect during the "removal of this HUGE, mature tree.  They removed all stumps and debris. 

He followed up with an additional phone call to schedule a follow up stump grinding. 

We liked them so much we asked them to also correctly prune our fruit trees.  They were perfect! 

I would HIGHLY recommend Craig and his crew to anyone. They are A+++

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

There are a few instances in which removing a tree is the best option. You might do this if the tree looks to be a major danger—potentially falling onto your home, your car, or other parts of your property—or it’s diseased beyond repair. A tree that is growing too close to your house might need to be removed to prevent mold growth.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
