"I hired Jesus and his team to trim trees and other shrubbery around the front and back of my house. They showed up when they said they would, trimmed all everything to my expectation, and cleaned up when they were done. Excellent job."

First, it was really hard to find a tree service to do this work.  the work that was needed wasn't exactly something that an arborist would do. In fact, four arborist said no thanks.  I had these horribly overgrown pepper trees (that I don't even like anyway but hey - they provide privacy from my neighbor) and our backyard hillside is just deep rooted brush to keep it from sliding down.  Not sexy work by any means, but it is what it is.  So, B&J said they would do the work.  The person who gave us the quote was very professional, understood what we needed, quickly wrote up an estimate - couldn't really read his handwriting, but he confirmed everything.  I choked on the price but knew that nobody else would bid on it and the trees were overgrown by a good 25 feet.  Yeah, it was bad.  He warned us that trimming the trees back as far as we all agreed we needed to, would leave it looking bare ("it's gonna look like a bunch of sticks").  But we marched onward anyways.  We set the date, they arrived promptly with a large crew and began their work. 

They did an "ok" job.  and here's why i say it was just ok.  Yes, they did exactly what we asked them to do, and it looked as they said it would look.  It's hideous - a bunch of sticks jutting out from the dirt.  However, they didn't remove the stumps (where we asked them to take it all out) they just chainsawed it at ground level.  One tree root they did remove, and left it looking similar to my kid's room after they've changed their clothes - like a tornado hit it.  A whole in the ground and random dirt flung everywhere. Couldn't they have used a rake to at least semi-smooth it out?  Whatever. Like I said, it was a dirty job that nobody else wanted to do.  So, yes, they cleaned up all the leaves and the branches, but only after scraping up the entire side of my house (brown branches on a white stucco house - is not pretty), leaving the fence laying on the side yard so I had to get that put back on myself, one broken sprinkler head that I fixed myself and what looked like a broken sprinkler pipe in another part of the yard. 

I called and asked them to come back out and cut a branch they missed, and dig up where the sprinkler was leaking. Turns out it was a sprinkler line next to the bush, but didn't appear to be directly related to their work.  It did take them several days to return my call when I asked them to come back out, actually they never did call me back, except five days later to say, "we'll be at your house in 30 minutes."  Had to scramble and leave work and race home.  While there, again, very friendly and nice and took out another root of a bush and said "Bobby will have to call you".  That was about three weeks ago. No call back.  so, I give up.

"Francisco did a great job. Gave me a fair price and installed a block wall, added some landscaping to my patio and a fruit tree. I have gotten lots of compliments from my neighbors. There were some small unexpected set backs but his team had some great ideas and were able to fix the issues. I am more then pleased with their work and great customer service."

"Jose & his workers arrived on time at 7:30 am to cut 5 Cypress trees about 35 5o 40 feet tall. They worked efficiently and quickly, clean up all debris from my backyard & neighbor's backyard. Excellent job! We were very happy with the service, I would use Jose's company again and highly recommended him to anyone ."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

Absolutely. These steps are significantly easier, too, especially when it comes to preserving the root ball and moving the palm tree. However, you will want to make sure the tree has plenty of fertilizer to establish itself and start growing. Supports may also be more important, as it can take extra time for a potted palm to spread out its roots. If you are transferring a palm to another pot, you’ll want to move up a size or two to a larger pot. Make sure the pot has excellent drainage to keep the palm from getting waterlogged.

You’ll want to have your palm trees trimmed during the spring, ideally in May, before hurricane season sets in, which generally takes place during the late summer. Palm trees grow fastest over the summer months. You’ll also want to trim your palm trees when you notice:

  • Brown fronds 

  • Dry leaves

  • Flower pods

  • Fruit

  • Fronds overgrown in power lines

  • Frond encroaching upon your neighbor’s home or yard 

  • Visible damage from a storm
