"They trimmed our podocarpus tree, thinning the foliage as we wanted to avoid future damage. The crew was responsive, cleaned up everything, all at a reasonable price."

"Luis and his crew did an amazing job. They worked for 3 days trimming hedges, bushes and vines. Removing bushes that were breaking a retaining wall. They trimmed our palm trees. They hauled away rusted patio furniture, wood, metal, and an old jacuzzi cover. Then they mowed, edged, and blew all the walkways and the patio. They were timely and courteous. I was so pleased with the work that I’ve hired them to do regular lawn service."

"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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.

A palm tree's lifespan typically ranges from 40 to 100 years, though some species can live much longer. For example, certain types of Date Palm trees can live for over 200 years. The exact longevity of a palm tree is influenced by several factors, including its species, size, climate, and growing conditions. To maximize your palm's lifespan, provide proper care and maintenance, such as ensuring it gets enough sunlight, water, and nutrients, and protecting it from pests and diseases. For expert maintenance tips, consider consulting a professional arborist.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.
