"Jesus was fast efficient. He took out several trees for almost half the price I received from another tree service. I definitely would recommend him to anyone who is looking for quality service at a reasonable price."

"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."

"They did a great job, I would highly recommend them to anyone. They did an excellent service. Eric and all of the workers were great and extremely helpful for us. They were very very good and careful when cutting the limbs and the trunks of the trees. My neighbors were very appreciative of them not blocking the road during the work."

"Designer-Landscape was the closest to choose from but Arturo and his guys have done so much more around our house. From removing grass and adding drought friendly landscaping, helping me decide which plants I want (not an easy task), the removal of trees and shrubs and biweekly maintenance of it all. I appreciate all of their kindness, professionalism and knowledge and that it is all done with decent pricing. We have trusted Trejo’s Landscaping with all of our landscape needs going on 4 years now."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

It enhances property aesthetics, improves tree health, and prevents safety hazards.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.
