"I had my very large Sycamore and Jacaranda tree cut in front of my house. Arboles Care Tree Service did an amazing job from trimming all the way to cleanup. They were very professional, friendly and quick. Would definitely hire again."

"I recently had Lead Saw Tree Service take out a tree from my yard, and it was such a breeze. They were super easy to deal with from the moment I asked for a quote to when they showed up on time and got the job done within the schedule they promised. It made my day so much easier and stress-free. I'd definitely recommend Lead Saw Tree Service for any tree removal job."

"I am still working with this company and I am very happy with their services. They are doing maintenance monthly and also much work in between the maintenance such as irrigation repair and add and drip and also planting and purchasing plants/trees. We have a good relationship and understanding of all that needs to be done. I would recommend them very highly. FILIPPA"

"INCREDIBLE! This was the first time that my trees have be pruned and shaped correctly in over 40 years. I am so happy with the work. One tree was next to my pond; the crew put a large tarp over the pond so no debris fell into it, so I didn't have any pond clean up work to do. My yard was left in better shape than when the crew got here. I am planning on asking them to come back in the spring to get my winter garden in shape for the growing season."

"They were very professional, did a fabulous job and at a reasonable cost. I have used them before to do the Ventura County mandatory fire abatement tree trimming and they did a great job with that too. But this time it was a very large live oak removal due to disease that was determined to be a hazard to our house. From the time of determination and submitting the permit paperwork from an arborist, to removal of a two stemmed trunk --11 days including grinding the huge,two-pronged stump. From review and bidding, to actual removal the team was courteous, prompt and thorough. Can't say enough good about them. BTW, did I mention that they beat out two other bids! Enough said!"

"I have learned over the years if you want trees properly trimmed for looks and growth, hire a professional arborist. This is exactly what Kerry's Tree Service offers the customer. Mike Gallagher, arborist, came out, viewed my tree situation, then told me his recommendations and gave me an estimate within within 48 hours. after i talked to several other companies, I hired Kerry's with confidence the job would be done best if I used their services. I was correct. It took a crew of 5 men plus Mike Gallagher 4 hours to finish the job. They were professional all the way including final cleanup of my property at the end. All 3 trees look terrific and I look forward to seeing them after they fill out next Spring."

"House looked lovely when done.  Normally I have used Robert for sprinkler repair and maintenance.  He has also trimmed trees for me. He offered to paint the house and I let him to the job even though it is not his usual kind of work because I knew he would do good and careful work.

"Exceptionally good experience and value. This is the second major project Landscape West has accomplished for me and I could not be more pleased. John worked with me to design the look and placement of paving stones, plants, walkways, lighting, and it truly was a collaborative effort. He respected my input while providing helpful suggestions. To my surprise, he was able to fit my big project into his busy schedule nearly immediately and completed the work in under three weeks including demolition of old driveway, and the removal of lawn and trees. His crew was always courteous and professional, and they did not cut corners, but did things right and thoroughly. When they ran into unexpected circumstances (accidentally breaking a water line), they took full responsibility and quickly remedied the situation and made it even better than before. The finish product speaks for itself and has become a highlight of the neighborhood with many people stopping by to say how wonderful the new look is. Many of my neighbors are considering upgrading their front yards as a result. John and his crew are easy to work with, highly responsive, great communicators, and John has an innate gift of artistic design that created a warm and inviting finished product. I would definitely use his services again and give my highest recommendation for anyone considering landscape, hardscape, driveway work. His prices were reasonable and he completed his work much sooner than I thought it would take. We now have an inviting, humming bird attracting, low water, California native garden for our front yard. The meandering walkway allows us to walk through the constantly flowering plants and enjoy the hummingbirds and butterflies the native plants attract. The warmth and serenity of coming home to such an oasis of beauty, priceless!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.
