"The trees did not look as good as after previous trimmings and the wind blew out a lot of debris that afternoon with some dead branches remaining stuck high up. I had to ask for heavy pots to be returned to their spots. Adequate service, but not outstanding."

"The boss and workers were professional and cleaned up their mess of tree branches. They took the two dead trees out easily without having to climb either one. It took them 45 minutes from start to finish and I paid $800. A good deal for Evergreen."

"The crew arrived on time with the proper equipment to perform work on 40’ to 50’ tall trees. They trimmed everything professionally and it was obvious they knew what they were doing. The project was completed in a timely manner. They trimmed everything according to their bid and even more. Everything was cleaned up and when they left our yard looked beautiful! We highly recommend them and they will do our tree trimming the next time we need it done."

"I was in desperate need of having 3 Queen Palm Trees trimmed as i noticed they were growing too close to my home and was afraid they were going to create damage to my roof. I contacted R&R Banuelos Tree Service and they insisted on providing me a free estimate for the service. They showed up same day and priced the service with a more than fair price ! I was more than happy when they told me that the work can be done that same day. Very profesional and a hardworking team. Thank you R&R Tree Service. I definitely will be sharing your business with friends and family!"

"The two men listened to what I wanted. Then went to work. They were respectful of the surrounding plants and yard. They did a wonderful job trimming and thinning our Japanese Black Pine. The shaping came out great. They also cleaned up the yard and hauled away all trimmings. And cleaned the sidewalk I will recommend Personalized Tree Service,and will use them again."

"Work was done for our HOA. The original estimate was for pruning, fertilizing, and spraying to inhibit olive growth. Since we know little about how to maintain those trees, we were prepared to pay the original quote that included the spraying. We were impressed that he was honest and let us know that spraying should not be done at this time of year and that we would only need to pay half of what we were quoted. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned up completely when they were done. We will definitely use them again to spray (at the right time of year!) and to maintain those trees."

"We used Torres Tree Services to cut back and shape several trees around our house. The trees were overgrown and needed some serious work. This company was extremely professional from the beginning. Their prices were better than several other quotes I got. They seemed very honest and made recommendations and suggestions, but were not pushy at all.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Tree pruning is a common and helpful tree maintenance technique that involves carefully cutting and trimming unwanted branches so that the tree can continue to grow and thrive. Pruning is done carefully and intentionally. Tree topping is a frowned-upon method that involves removing and cutting most or the entirety of the top of the tree, including structurally important branches.

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

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.
