"First of all, this guy is a certificated ARBORIST! He knows trees!  This was very important to me.  I didn't want "some guy with a chainsaw" to tell me the trees had to come down.  
After looking over the trees and their location, he told me that the trees would continue their secondary growth and that growth would push up the pavers in the yard, and even if the pavers were reinstalled the secondary growth would push them up again over time.  He gave me some options to consider.
He is based out of central Orange County and because of distance, he declined to do work in Bellflower which was disappointing.

"There was evidence of termites when construction began so the builder assumed I would need a full termite service. Hydrex inspected and found termite problem is in the past. Could have easily jacked me up for some kind of service but instead they were honest and did not even charge for the inspection. So grateful!"

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

"Our large mulberry tree in the backyard had only been trimmed once in 10 years and that trimming was done wrong with branches growing all over the place with no even shape to the tree. Limbs were hanging over the roof causing potential hazard.The tree needed some serious corrective pruning. It gives great shade to the house in the summer and we wanted to make sure it was pruned correctly and thoroughly this time to make sure it will stay healthy for years to come. The other tree is in the front yard and a large, rotten limb was hanging over the road creating a potential hazard. It also has not had any good pruning in years. We called three members of Angies list for an estimate. Custom tree trimming Design ended up being the most expensive (even after the Angies list discount) but both my husband and I felt that after talking with Bill (the owner) at length, he would be able to do the best job. We were not disappointed. The original estimate was a bit too high for us but we were able to agree on an amount that worked for both of us. On the appointed day he arrived with a big ladder truck, wood chipper and six experienced tree trimmers. He was here to supervise and get them started. They worked tirelessly for about 7 hours. The cut branches were turned into wood chips and he left 3 wheelbarrow full of chips by my request (to use in our yard). I had to leave before they were finished and when I came home the yard and back porch were cleaner than before they started the work. They did a great job cleaning all the branches etc. off the porch, driveway and lawn. It's been a couple of days since they've done the work and every time I look at our now beautifully shaped trees I am happy about our decision to go with Bill's company. My husband also agrees that we got our money's worth. We would definitely use his services again and can recommend him.

"I can't say enough about the professionalism and excellent service Torres Tree Service provides clients. I initially contacted them and they were able to go to my property and give me a quote without my having to meet them. The price they gave was very competitive, and we eventually negotiated a final price that beat the competition. They showed up to the property promptly at 8:30 am and were done with the job in under two hours. They were fast, clean, and very professional. Their entire process, from making the appointment, to confirmation emails and calls, to follow-up and follow-through, was exceptional. A true five-star experience.

"Within an hour of putting in request, HLI was here doing the job for a $100 cheaper than the quote from my gardener. They did a great job, and very quickly. However because they were in such a hurry, they did a bit of damage to my brick planter (broke bricks off) but you get what you pay for. All in all great service for a great price."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

Large, established tree branches won’t grow roots, but if you find a young tree branch that’s less than about a year old, you’ve got a shot. Put it in water or soil as soon as possible for best results. You’ll know the branch is viable if it’s about the thickness of a pencil and has some leaves or needles.

If you ever want to see the literal fruits of your labor, you’ll need to prune your peach trees. Without pruning, the trees may not grow or bear fruit since the nutrients will be divided among too many offshoots to provide any with enough energy to produce the peaches. Plus, if parts of the peach tree become diseased or pest-ridden, pruning can nip those problems in the bud.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.
