"I needed trees trimmed, some very tall, all of them too difficult to do myself. I used YELP and posted a request. The first to respond was C & H Gardens Artistic Landscape and Tree Service. I set-up an appointment for the next day. The doorbell rang, the dog barked, and as I looked up from my computer, I gasped. Was I hallucinating or is that Brad Pitt at my door!? He was a young Brad Pitt. Could this be Brad's prodigal son? I opened the door and tried to stay calm. It was Kacen Horner from C & H. I told him what we needed done. He gave me a fair price. We scheduled the service and off he went into the sunset. His crew came on time and knew what I needed to be done, and got to work. They did a great job - efficient, friendly, and professional. It was amazing to watch one of them repel up a 45 foot palm tree and back down. They had a truck with a tree chopper, cleaned up my front and backyard. Complete! Kacen came by the next day to check on their work and to confirm I w"

"Sal and his crew provided excellent service. He shows a particular concern for the overall health of the tree, and uses his skill as a certified Arborist to assess where the tree is in its life cycle, what particular stresses or diseases it may be presently subject to, and recommends a course of action which is best for the tree's continued health and survival. He also pays particular care to any wildlife which might be nesting in the tree at the time.
I would recommend Sal's company (S & H Tree Service) to anyone and everyone. I will call no other man for the job, and intend to use him exclusively from now on.

"Molina’s Exterior transformed our 4000 sf of dirt into a wonderful landscape. Frank and his crew were always on time, courteous and cleaned up at the end of everyday. We had a number of landscapers that we’re unable to give us a quote because of the size work that needed to be done. Frank came in and wasn’t intimidated at all. He is straight forward and honest with his pricing, and worked with us as our plans changed. I would recommend him to anyone needing a reliable landscaper."

"Great find. I hired Fil and Green Care to trim two queen palms that make a mess every September. The price was what it should be from past experience, and I'd had two bids far higher. When they arrived, they declined as the trees were diseased and dangerous. He explained the problem, and the risk, and encouraged me to shop around after giving me a price. His were low moderate for these very tall trees, according to three pricing websites for average cost. I'm glad I hired them. First, they are honest, good people, and communicate well. Second the trees were removed safely, and they cleaned up excellently. I will call them for all my tree needs in future, as I ihave a canyon side that sometimes needs attention."

"The initial visit from Rob was great. He accommodated an early time to provide a verbal estimate. After that, I was disappointed as the job was not completed within the expected time frame (2-wks), and initial attempts to follow-up were unsuccessful. With some persistence in calling, Rob finally did arrive to complete the job. The results were terrific so far, hopefully the lawn and yard will look even better with his continued efforts."

"When I called, the owner gave me the estimate I asked for, walked me through options and different monthly and price plans, set up an appointment that was convenient to my schedule and told me what to expect and what employee would be handling the job. I recently moved into a home that had been vacant and had spiders throughout the house and gophers inhabiting the yard. At the scheduled appt time Cliff showed up, neatly dressed, extremely professional throughout the assessment. He gave me some additional options I had to rid the home of the spiders and made suggestions for monthly services. I have a 15000 sq ft lot that I had not discussed with the owner and Cliff was not expecting. However, he worked with me, scheduled my next appt again within my limited available schedule, and was very pleasant to work with. He showed up for my second appt on time and completed the job to my satisfaction. I can't say enough about this company knowing how to do their job and satisfy their customers."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.
