Customers say: True professional

"I hired Gil Tree Service to trim a giant cypress for safety and a row of oak trees for the view. The crew came on time and worked quietly and professionally for the entire day. They did a great job, cleaned thoroughly all the debris and did everything they could to have us, the customers, happy. Thank you guys, and we shall see you again in another couple of years. It was an excellent experience."

"I was reluctant to have my beautiful tree trimmed. Not only did they solve the problem of removing overhanging branches on my roof, but they shaped the tree beautifully. I highly recommend."

"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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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 average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you’re short on time.

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. 

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that’s a sign the tree is dying. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It’s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you’re sure it’s not coming back to life.
