"J Lopez Tree Service did a good job trimming our trees. They did the work in the time frame that they promised and they cleaned up after themselves when they were done."

"The crew was ahead of schedule for the day so they were able to start early. They were thorough, fast and effective at trimming a monstrous tree without littering the neighbor's yard. I'd hire them again."

I am amazed how quick, efficient, professional and kind this entire team is to work with! This was a tough job (Old/Invasive Pepper Tree). The crew was in sync with each other, allowing the process to be quick and safe. I’m so happy I found them through Home Advisor and the response to my inquiry was quick. Thank you everyone!

"These guys they send out are not tree experts & have chainsaw, will travel, should be their motto. They are polite and helpful but they cut too many good limbs off one tree so now we don't have much shade. I hope the limbs grow back but doubt it. I have to watch everything else they do, to make sure they don't break anything else (dropped limbs on patio furniture) and only cut what's necessary. I tried to call the boss or fast-talking salesman to complain that they are cutting out too much but the mailbox was full so I couldn't talk to him or leave a message. Wish I'd hired the first guy; I have a feeling he knew more about what he was doing. Next time I'll Google a certified arborist (the first one I called didn't return my call), who will cut out only what is needed to be pruned and will leave the good limbs (they said they were dead but they had green foliage on them so they weren't dead."

First, it was really hard to find a tree service to do this work.  the work that was needed wasn't exactly something that an arborist would do. In fact, four arborist said no thanks.  I had these horribly overgrown pepper trees (that I don't even like anyway but hey - they provide privacy from my neighbor) and our backyard hillside is just deep rooted brush to keep it from sliding down.  Not sexy work by any means, but it is what it is.  So, B&J said they would do the work.  The person who gave us the quote was very professional, understood what we needed, quickly wrote up an estimate - couldn't really read his handwriting, but he confirmed everything.  I choked on the price but knew that nobody else would bid on it and the trees were overgrown by a good 25 feet.  Yeah, it was bad.  He warned us that trimming the trees back as far as we all agreed we needed to, would leave it looking bare ("it's gonna look like a bunch of sticks").  But we marched onward anyways.  We set the date, they arrived promptly with a large crew and began their work. 

They did an "ok" job.  and here's why i say it was just ok.  Yes, they did exactly what we asked them to do, and it looked as they said it would look.  It's hideous - a bunch of sticks jutting out from the dirt.  However, they didn't remove the stumps (where we asked them to take it all out) they just chainsawed it at ground level.  One tree root they did remove, and left it looking similar to my kid's room after they've changed their clothes - like a tornado hit it.  A whole in the ground and random dirt flung everywhere. Couldn't they have used a rake to at least semi-smooth it out?  Whatever. Like I said, it was a dirty job that nobody else wanted to do.  So, yes, they cleaned up all the leaves and the branches, but only after scraping up the entire side of my house (brown branches on a white stucco house - is not pretty), leaving the fence laying on the side yard so I had to get that put back on myself, one broken sprinkler head that I fixed myself and what looked like a broken sprinkler pipe in another part of the yard. 

I called and asked them to come back out and cut a branch they missed, and dig up where the sprinkler was leaking. Turns out it was a sprinkler line next to the bush, but didn't appear to be directly related to their work.  It did take them several days to return my call when I asked them to come back out, actually they never did call me back, except five days later to say, "we'll be at your house in 30 minutes."  Had to scramble and leave work and race home.  While there, again, very friendly and nice and took out another root of a bush and said "Bobby will have to call you".  That was about three weeks ago. No call back.  so, I give up.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.
