"I hired Jesus and his team to trim trees and other shrubbery around the front and back of my house. They showed up when they said they would, trimmed all everything to my expectation, and cleaned up when they were done. Excellent job."

"Communication with Jackie was immediate and she scheduled the team in a snap. Was able to give an estimate based on my photos (which I appreciated). The team of guys got the work done (removing 3 spiky, overgrown succulent plants with invasive roots), hauled the plants and cleaned it all up beautifully. Very happy with the results and experience. Photo of before and after (there were 3 like this)."

"Luis is a very cordial and competent supervisor/manager and his tree trimmer was super clearly an expert at his craft. We had a limited budget and told Luis what we needed and they did it all for the budget we had available. There is no doubt that we would reccomend them."

"I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional job performed by Progressive Tree Care today! Yesterday, Roman from the company provided a complimentary estimate that was not only reasonable but also fair, and his crew arrived promptly this morning. The team exhibited remarkable professionalism, friendliness, efficiency, and honesty. Their expertise shone through as they skillfully trimmed and skinned my palm trees, ficus trees, and efficiently removed other trees. They cleaned up the site thoroughly at the end. Having worked with numerous tree contractors over the years, I can confidently assert that Progressive Tree Care stands out as the best. I wholeheartedly recommend this company and will undoubtedly hire them again next year!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.
