"Kevin arrived promptly and performed the services we agreed on to my satisfaction. He's friendly, easy to talk to, and knows how to deal with trees since he's a licensed arborist. There was no indiscriminate or unnecessary cutting. I'd use Johnson's Tree Care again and have already recommended him to my neighbors."

"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."

"The job went like clockwork. Aly was prompt in coming out when contacted to provide an estimate. While the cost for cutting and hauling this very large pine was not inexpensive, it was reasonable given the size of the job and was within the parameters of other quotes I received. I was impressed with the many positive client reviews I read about Aly's Tree Trimming and the fact that the company was bonded, a certified Arborist, and licensed. Aly was able to get his crew over immediately after PG&E had finished their job of cutting near the high voltage lines. Aly has a large crew and they worked quickly and efficiently. Alex the foreman, did a wonderful job working with our difficult neighbor in handling the issues of working on the neighbors property. They cleaned up every day and when a small tree on the neighbor's property was damaged, they replaced the tree with a similar specimen. The crew were very professional and courteous. They avoided any damage to the two properties (other than the tree mentioned above). I would definitely use Aly's Tree Trimming again and would highly recommend it to other clients who are seeking the highest professionalism, and courtesy."

"Gil Tree Service was exceptional. Joel reviewed our project, submitted a fair estimate and provided tips on properly caring and maintaining our trees. He arrived on time and worked efficiently. He left the property cleaner than before he arrived. Additionally, he suggested purchasing bushes to define our property line. He went way above our expectations as he delivered the bushes and planted them. Joel is the real deal, he is honest and knowledgable, you will not be sorry using his service. I will definitely work with him again."

"Emanuel arrived early to review my project. He listened to my concerns and questions and took additional time to climb a two-story roof to provide the best solution. M & D Landscape provided more than reasonable pricing and completed the entire job the following day. They went above and beyond the scope of work and fully reviewed with me when completed. I highly recommend M & D."

"Trejos landscaping and gardening has completed several projects for us and provide regular maintenance. They have installed a new sprinkler system, and redesigned our side yard, installing some edging and wood chips and mulch around our rose bushes. They have transformed our front yard and we highly recommend them for any landscape or gardening projects. Arturo and his crews are wonderful, hard working and do their best to make sure that our lawn consistently looks amazing."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, most of the time you’re out of luck if a neighbor’s tree blocks your view. You don’t have a right to a view, so if you have a tree that’s near the property line but on your neighbor’s property, you can’t cut it to be able to take in a majestic mountain or a beautiful sunrise. In some communities, however, there are ordinances protecting scenic views. Checking into your local laws can help you determine your rights in this situation.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.
