Customers say: True professional

"I recently brought in Golden Oaks Tree Care to remove a 25-foot Canary Island Pine, grind out the stump, and trim a nearby palm tree, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Reynaldo, Bernardo, and their team handled the project with impressive skill and professionalism from start to finish. What really stood out was their attention to detail and safety. The stump was ground down a full 8 to 10 inches, and they took careful precautions to avoid any contact with my irrigation lines or underground utilities. Their precision with the grinder made the whole process much cleaner and safer than traditional excavation methods. The palm trimming was just as neatly executed. Beyond the technical work, this crew knows how to put homeowners at ease. I’ll admit I was initially nervous about the project, but their calm, organized approach instantly helped me relax. They were incredibly patient, answering every question I threw at them (even the unconventional ones) with clear feedback."

"The boss and workers were professional and cleaned up their mess of tree branches. They took the two dead trees out easily without having to climb either one. It took them 45 minutes from start to finish and I paid $800. A good deal for Evergreen."

"Came out the same day gave a very reasonable quote in our budget to trim 2 large pine trees, remove hedge, remove 6 cypress trees! Their 5 man crew were fast, thorough, personable and very professional. Left the area pretty darn clean after pulling big branches through the property to the street to go into the shredder. Licensed and bonded and concious of safety and tying off branches to prevent damage. I thought they would b there all night but they started bout 4pm and were done by 6:30pm. Awesome job! Great crew!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.

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.

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, 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.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.
