"The best tree artist! They prune my 45+ year old Olive and Ash trees perfectly. Been using a few years after being recommended by a neighbor. Perfectly pruned and shaped every time. Alejandro and his team know trees!"

"Discount Tree Care Arborist Inc. was an awesome company to work with! They came out quickly, gave us a very reasonable price, showed up the next day & trimmed the tree. They did a great job & cleaned up well afterwards. I would definitely use their services again."

"The two men listened to what I wanted. Then went to work. They were respectful of the surrounding plants and yard. They did a wonderful job trimming and thinning our Japanese Black Pine. The shaping came out great. They also cleaned up the yard and hauled away all trimmings. And cleaned the sidewalk I will recommend Personalized Tree Service,and will use them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No. Most of the time, suckers are only a sign that the tree is experiencing stress. However, they can also be the canary in the coal mine, letting you know that something else is stressing your tree. If you have lots of suckers on your tree, calling in an arborist or a tree care expert is always a good call to determine the cause and develop a solution that de-stresses your tree.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

The best plan of action for an unhealthy or unsafe tree will depend on its condition. An arborist can recommend whether trimming or removal is the right call for your tree. Preventive tree trimming can keep trees safe and healthy, so make regular tree trimming a part of your yard maintenance plan.

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.

Dying trees and even dead trees can spread diseases to other living trees. There are many different types of tree diseases, so it’s essential to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent the disease from spreading to other healthy trees. If the tree cannot be saved and is infected, you need to have it removed to protect the other trees on your property.
