"The young guy who did the work was prompt and professional, but not well trained. He power washed my patio BEFORE blowing the leaves and sticks off my roof, so all the debris landed on my just cleaned patio, and he didn't follow up to clean it off.
He forgot to do the garage door and was all packed up when he asked me to inspect, so I just let it ride.

"I had about 5 acres to get cleared out from over growth, I called Freedom Forest Management and a gentleman named Levi was out at my property two day later to give me a quote, the quote they gave me was a little pricey compared to others but they were able to get to it in a couple of days compared to others that were 3-4 weeks out. They did a bang up job cleaned the area up really good even trimmed up a tree I had since he said needed it to help with growth. I definitely got the quality of work I paid for and then some."

"Pedro phoned immediately after I inquired about my tree removal. When he came to give me a bid, he was right on time! (Two of the others I made appointments with didn't even bother to show up OR call). Both my neighbor and I needed our trees removed. He gave us a VERY REASONABLE bid and said he could do it 2 days later. We said we'd like to get other bids... he was the first one. Well, after getting all the bids we could, we decided on Mountain Tree Care. I phoned Pedro in the evening and told him of our decision. He said they'd be over at 7:30 am the next morning!!! He came with all the equipment necessary to do the job... 3 exceptionally skilled crew members, a chipper, a stump grinder, and a huge truck to haul away the debris. The next morning Pedro arrived at 7:05 am! A few minutes later, the rest of the crew arrived. They started right away. Safety and conscientiousness were high on their list. They removed one tree in my yard and another in my neighbor's. Each limb was roped before dropping it to the ground insuring that our properties were not damaged. And there was a fence between they had to work around as well. No damage whatsoever. They worked non-stop all day! The trees were removed and the stumps ground away. What we figured would take 2-3 days took them one day! The clean-up was exceptional! The next morning I went out to get the mail, and even the street where the chipper and truck were sitting were spotless. Did they sweep the street too??? Bottom line: WE RECOMMEND THEM HIGHLY! They are available, they are safe, they are conscientious, they are hard workers and they are FAIR and REASONABLE!"

"We had artificial grass we needed installed in our front yard. We had hired someone who stole our money. Fortunately my husband found Alonso doing a job in our neighborhood. Alonso came by and gave us a bid and started work the next day. He has a crew that are professional and hard workers.  They do very nice work and don't cut corners. Alonso was present daily.
When we had a question he answered the phone every time we called. This was refreshing . Alonso came through with work that exceeded our expectations. We now have the nicest lawn on the block, Thanks Alonso."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

Early signs that a tree is struggling include premature leaf shedding and lesions or other strange markings. Peeling bark, dead or rotten branches on the ground, and a conspicuous lack of leaves can all be signs that a tree has started to die. By the time a tree starts leaning, it’s usually too far gone to save.

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.

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.
