"Phil Essner was very professional and did a great job trimming 2 oaks in our front yard. He loaded everything into his dump trailer and hauled it to the dump. He was also the low bid of 3 we got. Highly recommended."

"The team trimmed several trees that were very overgrown. They did a really good job and worked very hard over two days to get the work done. The trees looked great! Canâ t wait to see how beautiful they will look when they fill back out in Spring. They cleaned up really well after the work was done. Very nice guys too, and easy to communicate with. Very positive experience, and we will hire again!"

"We recently purchased our new home and wanted to restore and rebuild our fence to give our property a fresh, updated look. Carlos with Sandoval Landscaping did an amazing job bringing our vision to life! From start to finish, Carlos was hardworking, knowledgeable, and attentive to the details. He took pride in his work and made sure the fence was not only sturdy and functional but also looked beautiful. The before-and-after transformation speaks for itself! We are extremely happy with the results and appreciate the time and effort he put into improving our home. Carlos has years of landscaping experience, and it definitely shows in his craftsmanship. We highly recommend Sandoval Landscaping to anyone looking for quality work and someone who genuinely cares about the finished product!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.
