"I needed trees trimmed, some very tall, all of them too difficult to do myself. I used YELP and posted a request. The first to respond was C & H Gardens Artistic Landscape and Tree Service. I set-up an appointment for the next day. The doorbell rang, the dog barked, and as I looked up from my computer, I gasped. Was I hallucinating or is that Brad Pitt at my door!? He was a young Brad Pitt. Could this be Brad's prodigal son? I opened the door and tried to stay calm. It was Kacen Horner from C & H. I told him what we needed done. He gave me a fair price. We scheduled the service and off he went into the sunset. His crew came on time and knew what I needed to be done, and got to work. They did a great job - efficient, friendly, and professional. It was amazing to watch one of them repel up a 45 foot palm tree and back down. They had a truck with a tree chopper, cleaned up my front and backyard. Complete! Kacen came by the next day to check on their work and to confirm I w"

"It was great. Good price, and they finished the job before others even responded to my request. Very friendly guys, and they cleaned up more than they had to. Will hire them for my next landscape project, hands down."

"Luis and his crew did an amazing job. They worked for 3 days trimming hedges, bushes and vines. Removing bushes that were breaking a retaining wall. They trimmed our palm trees. They hauled away rusted patio furniture, wood, metal, and an old jacuzzi cover. Then they mowed, edged, and blew all the walkways and the patio. They were timely and courteous. I was so pleased with the work that I’ve hired them to do regular lawn service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.
