"Efficient, personable, expert, good time management, well trained employees, and goes a step beyond to make sure the finished job more than meets expectations. Has the equipment needed to do trimming, topping, tree removal efficiently and completely. Sites were cleared nicely after the work was done and the trimmings were hauled off. I would highly recommend Abel Mendoza and his crews. In the future if we need additional work done, we will not hesitate to call him again."

"2 technicians arrived on site on time. They were polite and professional. They even went above and beyond my expectations as after they completed their replacement task, they even went on the roof, assured my system was functioning properly and even cleaned my solar panels!! I will definitely call on them again if I have any solar issues in the future."

"Tino was great to work with. He and his crew were very professional and worked efficiently and safely. I explained what I needed and he made sure it came out right. I had a section of a cedar tree that I needed cut into planks and rounds to do woodworking projects. All of them turned out exactly as I had hoped. Very professional and friendly!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.
