"This is a good professional tree service.
They ate arborists so they know how to care for the trees, verses the many unlicensed tree trimmers that constantly try to get our business.

"Jorge came out and inspected the wood damage caused by the termites. He and 2 other guys came out and drilled, rod and/or trenched and treated along the exterior foundation of my home and applied a termiticide. Jorge gave me a 3 year guarantee on his work, as well as sprayed for spiders and ants around my house. He and his crew were punctual and very professional. They answered all my questions. I would highly recommend them."

His son, Robert B. Loibl, Jr., began working and learning from his father after school and on Saturdays. He later started the Lloyd Pest Control Company in San Diego, and was a partner with his father in L & N Pest Control. He also started the Ant-B-Gone Products Company in Los Angeles, California, and then the Pest Control Service Company and Hydrex Pest Control Co., Inc. in Los Angeles, California in 1946. Robert Jr. spent his life paving the way to say good riddance to pests.
As well as developing a very successful state wide franchise with Hydrex Pest Control, he also held a number of patents. He invented the B-Gone series of pest poisons that many remember, a vermin exterminator, and the Pestron machine for producing insecticidal vapor. He developed many of the methodologies used today.  He was committed to keeping where we live, work and play safe and healthy places. He grew his company with men committed to his standards. They are family men, many of whom have p

"We've used them for 5 years. They service all of Orange County in California. They come out every year in November. They show up exactly on time, very prompt. They do the job and they're gone in about 2 1/2 hours. They clean up and they do a great job. Perfect. They are very polite, and very professional. They are all properly licensed and they have everything they need and they jump on my tree and cut and they are done.

"I cannot recommend them highly enough!

When possible I like to use a small or family owned business. I had called another company for those reasons.  The 'technician' arrived and gave me a bid of $1000 to screen openings in the eaves and fireplaces and would 'throw' the spray in.  Red flags.  I attempted to contact the office and speak with the owner.  All I can say is I felt this business had lost its better employees.  And started to search Angie's List.

I found Bee Catcher's through Angie's List.  They arrived quickly in the start of summer swarm season.  Confirmed that I had scouts but recommended a spraying to deter the scouts. Yes, screening would be beneficial but not essential.  They were polite, attired in Bee Catcher attire, gave a bid which I accepted and completed the work in just under an hour.

I have not had any additional bees, and I did have the eaves screened by a contractor for $350.00.

I felt hustled and priced by my neighborhood not the job.  I have told my arborist  (The Tree Men, Inc.) of this company and they are using them now.

This is who I will call in the future.  Bee Catchers provided quick efficient reasonable service with service, a smile and style.  It doesn't get better than that!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

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.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.
