"George and Lez are punctual, professional and very kind. The same can be said for their crew. They were all mindful of my neighbors and their property. I really appreciated this. They did the job efficiently. Hauled away the trees! Cleaned up all debris, and honestly left the property cleaner than it was when they first arrived. All around, they did a great job! I've already spoken to them about coming back for more work. I highly recommend Pearloga."

"A & M tree service turned my gigantic, never trimmed in 20+ years Aleppo pine tree into a work of art. The visit and quote process was quick and professional. The five person crew arrived at 7:30 am as promised and completed the massive trimming job, including removal of all branches and trimmings before dark on the same day. I asked them to make the tree look like the pine trees in the medians maintained by our city, and they made ours look even better. They told me early in the job that they had discovered two nests in the trees that would be left as is. The crew chief and workers were friendly and responsive to my questions. Highly recommended."

"They were extremely fast and responsive with the initial quote. They were able to quote via cellphone and photos of the property. They were able to show up the next business day and finish out a huge Chinese Elm tree service that required a cherry picker due to the height. The job was complete from start to finish in under 2 hours because they brought the right crew and right trucks to do the job. I am impressed by their professionalism and speed. They cleaned out the property and hauled everything away. I am satisfied with their work. A solid recommend."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.
