"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"The owners, Ken and Emily, responded immediately to my request for a meeting, walkthrough, and estimate - in fact I think they showed up the day I called or the next day when they were in the area. They were friendly and listened to my needs. They made some good recommendations for moving some plants around, watering, fertilizing, etc. Within a week we agreed on a reasonable price for services and shortly thereafter they snapped our plants and lawn into initial tip-top shape and planted a new vegetable and herb garden. They will tend to all of our landscaping needs on a bi-weekly basis going forward. I like that the owners of the company are the ones taking care of our yard - it adds a great level of personalization and consistency to their services. To date they are doing excellent work and are very knowledgeable about taking care of all things green."

"I find them very sincere hard working. They did the work very delightfully. The large tree branches that fallen during the storm last Tuesday they cleaned out in their truck to dump. I would without any hesitation recommend them."

"I just finished our kitchen renovation with Geico Builders and I am so happy with the results. From the initial interviews through the final touch ups, I was consistently impressed with our project manager, Mila. One spends a lot of time with the project manager going from interviews to execution, and Mila was responsive, easy to communicate with and seemed genuinely friendly. She was also honest with her feedback on ideas and options. It was quite refreshing to work with Mila and their crew, as well as project coordinator Kai, foreman Tim, and the rest of the Geico team. If you're looking for a well-run, professional team to work with, we highly recommend this one."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

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.
