"Jaun is the most educated tree service I have ever experienced. We have 3 acres of hundred-year-old oak trees, Olive trees, sycamore trees, and over ten other types of trees on our property. Not only was he priced lower than all 3 bids I put out, but he is meticulous with every tree, giving it a great trim but yet exposing the most beautiful part of each specimen. I highly recommend this company and I will be using this company as long as I live on this property. Thank you, Juan."

"Excellent Tree Removal Service by LA Arbor Care In March 2023, our plumbers told us that our sewer pipe ran right under our large Deodar multi trunk pine tree, and that the treeâ  s massive roots had detrimentally damaged the sewer pipe leaving us with no other option other than to remove the tree and grind the stump so they could dig a hole under it to repair the pipe. We received four estimates from different tree removal companies. Miguel Lopez at LA Arbor Care did not provide the least expensive estimate, but we felt that his considerable experience, certifications, and great reviews made his firm our best option. We are so pleased that we selected LA Arbor Care to do this work. They did the work exactly as promised, removing the tree safely and efficiently. We were impressed by their work ethic and quality, and they were very careful not to damage the power and data lines that were coming through the tree branches. They were conscientious about leaving the entire work site impeccably clean â  for example, the tree was adjacent to our swimming pool, and unprompted, they cleaned all the leaves and branches that had fallen into the pool during their process of taking down the tree. Miguel and his staff were friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs tree removal services."

"They cut a huge podocarpus, it's roots beginning to crack house walls. They did a very good job on the tree but failed to cut thru the roots as they promised. They also agreed to do some landscaping,however, I never heard from them again."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there’s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it’s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside.
