"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."

"Juan arrived for an estimate within 2 hours of first contact with Angi. He was polite, his estimate was very reasonable and said he could send a crew the next day. The crew arrived on time: Marco the foreman and five men. They were efficient, demonstrating experience and knowledge. They completely removed one tree and trimmed two others. The cleanup was thorough, including shredding all the debris into their truck at the curb. The entire job was completed within an hour. I would not hesitate to call Juan again for any landscaping or tree work."

"I obtained 8 bids for the work. Jeannette Bell provided a fair bid and promptly provided proof of liability and workers' comp insurance. (There was one lower bid, but the company did not have the experience necessary for this difficult job and did not provide proof of insurance.) Jeannette and her team were friendly and professional in their engagement with me and my neighbor (who helped by providing access to the tree from his driveway). They accommodated scheduling issues and thoroughly cleaned up the space at the end of each of the four work days I highly recommend this company."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.
