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."

"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

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations.
