"This company goes way beyond expectations. They trimmed all my trees and brushes around my house to look healthy. They removed 4 sets of bushes. They cleaned up everything. He noticed my sprinklers were not working and replaced the parts ( of course with my permission). All workers were polite and had a great work ethic. I wish I had more work for them. I am sharing their work with my friends to get them more business. They are reasonable in their charges. They are easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend them."

"I called HomeAdvisor looking for a tree trimmer. They responded within minutes and within an hour Robert was at the work site to evaluate the job abd managed to schedule a two-man crew for 0800 the next morning. They. were on time, worked in a safe and prifessional manner, and did a thorough clean-up. I was very impressed."

"I hired Jimmy's Tree Care service to cut/trim four large trees in my front and back yards. They showed up on time, completed the work efficiently and in a timely manner, and cleaned up very nicely afterwards. They came in competitively priced and did an outstanding job. I would definitely recommend Jimmy and his crew and will hire them again in the future for my next tree service. Great work and thank you. Cliff"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

If you’re buying a small tree with lots of room to grow, expect to pay around $100 to $200 for a potted version. But if you’re buying a larger tree—say one over 10 feet—prices rise, starting in the $500 to $600 range and increasing quickly from there. Keep in mind that paying for professional palm tree planting or transplanting services will increase the cost.

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter—between February and March. That’s because it’s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.
