"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.

"The short sale house I bought has a lot of problems in the front/back. Leaking valves, malfunctioning sprinklers. Even worse, the timer for the sprinkler system stopped working after painting in garage. So I bought the big deal hoping Williams can fix all the problems. He did, with great professionalism and patience. He even found out and repaired a broken pipe under ground which is hard to find. He spent 2 hours in the Friday afternoon and the whole morning on Saturday in my yard . Now everything seems works well. William is honest and hard working, and very experienced. I have no problem with this guy and would recommend him to anyone who has issues with their irrigation systems.

"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.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn’t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you’ll likely need to remove the tree.
