"P&J does fantastic work. I am more than pleased. Joe is an arborist and has keen knowledge of trees, when and how they should be pruned and groomed or even removed. P&J removed three trees and many shrubs, pruning and shaping many other trees. Stump grinding was done to the removed trees. His crew of seven and himself showed up on time at 8am and they were done at 1130am. Amazing! They are licensed, bonded and insured."

"Professional, efficient, knowledgeable, trimmed a large sycamore tree in the front yard, cleaned up and left no trace that they were here! The tree is now beautiful, nicely shaped and not resting on the roof of the house any longer. Great service, would definitely hire again !"

"You can tell the owner really know trees and enjoys his work. He and his crew shaped and thinned our Japanese maples and strawberry trees beautifully. The clean up was meticulous. No leftover branches or leaves and the other landscaping was undisturbed. The price I was quoted turned out to be the best of the outfits I contacted and the other guys didn’t sound like they were as knowledgeable as Guardian. We are very pleased!"

"First thing first, yes I would and will have Dennis work for us again. Dennis responded to my inquiry within a few hours. He came over to our home and found what I needed and made a few suggestions for a better front yard. His estimate was good, time to complete the project was great. His estimate 3 days and actual days were 3. His crew (3) were ready and quite able to the task. Our lawn and concrete work looks great. A big improvement over the weeds from h*** that I had struggled with for too many years. I highly recommend him at Vinny's Landscaping.com"

"Rolando and his team were courteous and respectful. They worked efficiently, quickly and quietly. They did an excellent job in trimming very tall oleander shrubs down to just above the 6 foot fence. They did an awesome job clearing away not only the cut stalks and thick trunks but cleared up any debris that they saw. The cost for the work they performed was very reasonable. I would use Rolando and his team again and will recommend them to my family and friends."

"The Forever Green Cali landscapers did an excellent job on my 700 sq ft front yard. They removed old bark and replaced it with two different colored rocks. They also removed several bushes and planted new bushes and some roses. They were very expert in their work. They charged me a very competitive price, and the work was done in one day. Thank you!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you don’t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

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.
