Customers say: True professional

"This business deserves my highest recommendation. Joel is very knowledgeable about tree care, professional, punctual, conscientious, and his team leaves the worksite nicely cleaned after the work is done. I needed extensive tree work done twice by the company, at my property in Pacific Grove. Each time I have been very pleased with their excellent work and very reasonable prices."

"They are extremely professional and good at what they do. They cut down 15 redwood trees that were growing too close to my house and charged very reasonable rates. They removed all the logs and restored our property before wrapping up the job. plan to hire them again. Highly recommended."

"Designer-Landscape was the closest to choose from but Arturo and his guys have done so much more around our house. From removing grass and adding drought friendly landscaping, helping me decide which plants I want (not an easy task), the removal of trees and shrubs and biweekly maintenance of it all. I appreciate all of their kindness, professionalism and knowledge and that it is all done with decent pricing. We have trusted Trejo’s Landscaping with all of our landscape needs going on 4 years now."

"This tree service was the most reasonably prices of the companies we contacted. Their experience in t he field enabled them to work quickly and efficiently, they left the work area clean and tidy. Their tree trimming allowed more air and light into the backyard. This excellent job is not the first they have done for us and is the reason we called them again for a second job."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

Ivy eventually kills trees by restricting its growth, blocking sunlight, absorbing nutrients and water from the soil, and weakening the tree. Trees with ivy are more likely to experience diseases, pests, rot, and fungi growth. When ivy weighs down tree branches, the tree is more likely to break during a storm and cause damage.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
