"Tree Ops LLC had done a outstanding tree trimming at my home this weekend. George and his crew arrived on time as scheduled. They worked together in organized fashion providing tree trimming, backyard & front lawn clean up. While working, the crew paid attention to details and make sure not damage my property. Clean up after was super and efficient. George provided prompt reply to my service request and the labor charge was very reasonable in compare to many quotes I had requested. I am very pleased with the workers and the service of the Tree Ops LLC and would recommend to the community. It is hard nowadays to find reliable and reasonable price service. Thank you George and the crew for a superior service."

"My wife and I decided to do a complete overhaul of our yard by adding a complete irrigation system that included sprinklers and a drip system. We also decided to remove some concrete paths to extend our lawn and add some hedges to increase the greenery in our yard. My wife and I were both a bit nervous and stressed out about the project in fear of hiring the wrong person for the job. However, from the day that Roberto provided me with his quote for the job he turned out to be very professional and knowledgeable in his trade. He gave me his advice when needed without changing our original plans. Roberto and his crew were always on time and completed the project in a timely manner. Roberto has continued to check in with us and stopped by to check-in and adjust our irrigation system. His quote was very reasonable and I would definitely recommend his services."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.
