"Silverton and his team did an absolutely amazing job on cutting our huge cypress trees and strawberry trees. It was an all day job and we couldn't be happier with their profession and expertise. They also made sure to clean up every bit of debris from our yard and our 3 neighbors yards! We will definitely hire them for future projects."

Customers say: True professional

"This business deserves my highest recommendation. Joel is very knowledgeable about tree care, professional, punctual, conscientious, and his team leaves the worksite nicely cleaned after the work is done. I needed extensive tree work done twice by the company, at my property in Pacific Grove. Each time I have been very pleased with their excellent work and very reasonable prices."

"Trejos landscaping and gardening has completed several projects for us and provide regular maintenance. They have installed a new sprinkler system, and redesigned our side yard, installing some edging and wood chips and mulch around our rose bushes. They have transformed our front yard and we highly recommend them for any landscape or gardening projects. Arturo and his crews are wonderful, hard working and do their best to make sure that our lawn consistently looks amazing."

"They gave me options and executed the scope of work I wanted. They mulched the tree and removed branches from the trimmed treed. At my request the put that material in a weedy side yard. Now that yard looks and smells great. The super shaggy Palm looks many ft taller now that it's all trimmed up. They went above and beyond by cleaning my roof and gutters of all the pine tree needles. I highly recommend their service."

"A team of two workers arrived on time and we talked about the job which involved pruning several tall trees and shrubs in a small fenced garden space. They listened very carefully and made certain that they knew exactly what I wanted before starting the work. They were extremely careful of fences, and smaller plants in the garden and they seemed knowledgeable about shaping and pruning technique. The area where they worked was in the back of my property and it wasn't easy to carry all the cuttings to the street where their truck was parked. They removed all refuse and left the garden looking better than when they came! The charges seemed fair considering the setting, the scope of the work, and the time and effort they spent doing a great job!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Sudden oak death and oak wilt are different diseases. Oak wilt first shows up in tree leaves while sudden oak death affects the branches and trunk. However, as symptoms in both can overlap, it’s best to consult a professional arborist tree expert for a proper diagnosis and development of a treatment plan.

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

The cost of trees varies massively based on the size of the tree and the species. A small Colorado spruce can cost as little as $30, but a golden rain tree of the same size can cost $90. Large trees can cost $1,500 or more, depending on their species and height.

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.
