"I have had our enormous Chinese Elm tree trimmed many times, and never has the job been done as expertly as Jake's Landscaping and Tree Services. I was 99.9% certain I would hire Luis's company based on his visit to give me an estimate. Manny others have years of experience and great reviews. What sets Luis's company apart is how he treats his employees, his philosophy of investing in them and treating them well. Jose and his team did a beautiful job of trimming the tree and removing ivy and jasmine roots from the side of our house, and left the area devoid of any sign that work had been done. No errant branches or even twigs left behind. There was a friendly comraderie among them. The cost was very fair."

"I recently hired GP Tree Services to remove a large tree from the front of my home, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, their team was outstanding every step of the way. They arrived on time, assessed the job thoroughly, and explained the process clearly. The crew worked quickly and safely, ensuring that surrounding structures and landscaping were protected throughout the removal. Their equipment was top-notch, and their expertise was evident in how seamlessly they handled the job. What stood out the most was their commitment to leaving my property spotless. After the tree was removed, they cleaned up every bit of debris, making it look as if the tree had never been there! If you’re looking for a reliable and skilled tree service company, I highly recommend them. They exceeded my expectations in every way, and I will definitely call them again for any future tre"

"Bama's Tree Care did an excellent and thorough job on two of my trees. My tree overhangs the neighbor's yard. They were very careful to place plastic and 8x4 boards on the neighbor's new deck to protect the deck. Also placed the boards to protect my windows. The owner, Oscar, was calm, professional, and I would highly recommend hiring him. Good price, cleanup, and easy to work with."

Customers say: Quick response

"I really wanted to find a company that I can use every time I need tree services, without having to go through multiple bids. I will use Agri-Con again. I also really wanted the work done exactly to my preferences - of course, I want to hear recommendations for better alternatives, if there are any. That is what I got, and I am happy with their work. Could it have been cheaper, I think so, but I was willing to maybe pay a little more to get what I wanted. They did a good job of cleaning up, and they did not rush through the job, and did careful work."

"I was contacted by Eli just after I put a request for prices to do the above work. He made an appointment for the next morning. After I made the decision to hire him, he started the work on the following Monday. He removed two 60 ft. trees. He and his crew were extremely organized and efficient with their time. Trees were removed along with all debris. The cleanup of the both front and backyards were great. I would highly recommend him for work and plan on having him back to prune fruit trees at the proper time."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.
