"S & H Tree Service showed up promptly on time to cut down the Eucalyptus and they worked very efficiently, while paying attention to the safety of the neighbors that were around watching the trees come down.  They completed the job in less than the time they quoted and cleaned up the entire area afterword.  Great work on each of the projects that they have done for us and I recommend them highly to anyone.

"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."

"I'm so grateful that I found Pope Tree Services. I had struggled finding help with trimming the overgrown trees along my driveway. Pope Tree Services showed up & did the job so well. I will now be able to notify the propane company that the trees are trimmed & ready for their next delivery without bumping their mirrors & scratching the truck. I hope that other delivery trucks like UPS will begin coming to deliver packages at my house again. I recommend this company to assist you with similar tree trimming challenges. Their prices are reasonable & their services are promptly scheduled."

"So so happy we found this tree service. They are respectful, great at what they do, safe, and CLEAN. I’m top of all that their prices are more than fair. Watching them climb our huge Eucalyptus was terrifying but impressive. We will absolutely use them again in the future and highly suggest them."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

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.

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.
