"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)."

"Premier Tree Experts were fantastic. I needed a 40 ft tree removed. They gave me a good price and worked within my budget. Their crew was quick and efficient. They ground the stump and the surrounding roots. They left and everything was clean and tidy. I would give them 10 stars out of 5 if I could. Good communication and sent me progress photos throughout the day. Highly recommended!!"

"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."

"Mario installed a new drip irrigation system to replace the old broken sprinklers, and he installed a new front yard based on my design. He carefully reviewed the design and recommended some alternatives to the plants/sizes called for in the design. These changes saved me money and would require less maintenance which was important because I was tired of maintaining a front lawn. Mario was a super professional, he responsed promptly to messages and kept me advised of his schedule so i knew where he was in the job and what was coming next. He takes tremendous pride in his work and actually did most of it himself. The workspace was left clean each evening and in just a few days I had a beautiful new yard and irrigation system. I have never been so pleased with a contractor and recommend Mario highly."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.

In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don’t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.

If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.

Peach trees grow to be about 25 feet, so keep this in mind for pruning as well. If you plan to DIY, you’ll need to be comfortable working on a ladder. Without pruning, peach tree branches can sprawl nearly as wide as the tree grows tall, so make sure to plan pruning sessions at least once per year in the spring for controlled growth. And if you’re working on a ladder, be sure to follow all safety precautions, especially if you’ll be dealing with falling branches.

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.
