"P&J does fantastic work. I am more than pleased. Joe is an arborist and has keen knowledge of trees, when and how they should be pruned and groomed or even removed. P&J removed three trees and many shrubs, pruning and shaping many other trees. Stump grinding was done to the removed trees. His crew of seven and himself showed up on time at 8am and they were done at 1130am. Amazing! They are licensed, bonded and insured."

"Professional, efficient, knowledgeable, trimmed a large sycamore tree in the front yard, cleaned up and left no trace that they were here! The tree is now beautiful, nicely shaped and not resting on the roof of the house any longer. Great service, would definitely hire again !"

"It was a big job, the trees were probably over 30 ft tall and horribly overgrown and intertwined. They did a wonderful job and cleaned everything and replaced my statues leaving my yard emasculate. The price was what I expected and worth it. Very nice people, I will be calling them again for some more work next spring."

"Juan arrived for an estimate within 2 hours of first contact with Angi. He was polite, his estimate was very reasonable and said he could send a crew the next day. The crew arrived on time: Marco the foreman and five men. They were efficient, demonstrating experience and knowledge. They completely removed one tree and trimmed two others. The cleanup was thorough, including shredding all the debris into their truck at the curb. The entire job was completed within an hour. I would not hesitate to call Juan again for any landscaping or tree work."

"I had a massive Canary palm tree that needed to be removed. Eduardo promptly responded to my request for an estimate and gave me a fair and reasonable quote. The next day, he arrived on time with a professional and energetic crew. I watched as they made the impossible possible. The tree removal and stump grinding were safely and meticulously done in one day! I was truly amazed. I appreciated how kind, considerate, and conscientious they were - not only to me, but my neighbors as well. I give Heavenly Tree Service my highest recommendation."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. 

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
