"Derek and his crew arrived exactly at the time they quoted and worked hard and professionally for 1.5 days trimming 6 large trees of all sizes. They did not just come in and hack but instead they carefully listened to what we were looking for and with precision crafted the trees in such a way that left them beautiful, Derek really knows what he is doing and does not try to sell you on cutting trees that he feels do not pose a threat or are very healthy as is. He is exactly what we were looking for. Our experience in the past is that someone comes in and simply wacks away with no real plan or design in mind. Derek and his crew were also were meticulous in cleaning up after themselves. I will definitely use them again and will recommend them unconditionally. I cannot say enough good things about them. They far exceeded our expectations and we are very picky."

"Rodriguez Tree Services exceeded my expectations. The staff was kind, friendly, and super helpful. They took care of my trees, yard, and they cleaned and removed all the debris. My yard looks a 1000% percent better. I will reach out to them again when my trees need a bit of TLC. I have already recommended them to my neighbors. -Steven"

Customers say: True professional

"Reynaldo and crew from Golden Oaks trimmed back my olive tree and 4 palm trees. They were fast, clean and did excellent work. I am planning on hiring them again for the rest of my trees. They also had the lowest price I found. They even cleaned up the tree trimmings on my neighbor’s side of the fence which I really, really appreciated. A neighbor on the other side of my yard had trimmed their tree near the fence line years ago and left all of those trimmings that fell on my side of the fence for me to clean up. Hire these guys! You won’t be disappointed!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.
