"I first hired Roper Tree Surgeon & Landscaping in June 2014 to do a major tree cutting on some huge ficus trees.  This project required a truck with a boom, another truck with a large wood-chipper, and an experienced crew capable of cutting big trees so close to my house.  Roper surpassed my expectations in every way, and I was thrilled with the outcome.
When Mr. Roper and I discussed additional projects, I was really impressed with his knowledge, and willingness to help me with free advice and without any sales pitch.   So I hired the company again in July for a large landscaping project, which included:  A new automatic sprinkler system, replacing the front lawn and parkway grass with sod, replacing old shrubs with planting of new flowers, trees, and shrubs, and root pruning ficus trees and replacing the sidewalk destroyed by the roots.
Roper Tree finished the project on time and on budget.  I couldn't be happier with the results!  Mr. Roper takes genuine pride in his work, does not look for shortcuts, and does what he promises to do.   He is driven by customer satisfaction.  I look forward to working with Mr. Roper again, and recommend him wholeheartedly!"

"I manage Homeowner Associations. We had 102 Palm Trees that needed trimming. Timber Pro did a great job trimming our palm trees. They worked with me on price and were very efficient skinning and trimming the trees. They worked quickly and cleaned up the area. I recommended them to a resident that needed a tree removed. The homeowner called me and thanked me for the referral, said that their price and work were both exceptional I had a big tree in another association that was in a difficult place that needed removing. It was situated directly over our garages. Timber Pro Was able to remove the trees without any damage to the roofs or the electric wires that were in the way. They were easy to communicate my issues of each job worked clean fast were very courteous and reasonable priced"

"My two trees were so tall and unruly because of many years of wind and birds. I was very impressed with their work and they did all of my extra requests. They cleaned up so nice afterwards and even talked to my neighbors so that they were also satisfied."

"This was my first time using Angies list. I was inquiring about having a couple of trees removed. Jimmy's Tree Care was the first company to contact me, right away I might add. They were able to give me a quote based off a picture I texted them. After getting several more quotes, all which were higher, I decided to go with them. They finished a job early and wanted to come by the same day but I was at work. They arrived 1/2 hour early the next day which was great. There was a crew of 4 plus the foreman and they got the job done quick and did an awesome job of cleaning up. I would highly recommend Jimmy's Tree Care for anyone needing work done on their trees."

"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."

Arborists questions, 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.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.
