"J Lopez tree service communicated with me very well and I obtained a very fair price. I would recommend them to anyone. They cut down a tree for me and grinded it as low as they could go so they would not hit my main line."

"Sal and his crew arrived on time, he explained the work to his crew, and they went right to it. I had one tree removed and one trimmed. In no time they were done and cleaned up both operation areas. They were the best group of workers that I have ever hired. I highly recommend Premier and Sal's crew !!!"

"I called Jim in early May to have clearing of limbs that were within 10 feet of my home. There were quite a few big oaks that had to have some major limbs removed and I was quite worried that they did not damage my new deck and parts of the house. Jim was recommended for me by a timber logger I knew and that is why I phoned him in the first place. Jim proved to have both a good sense of humor but also a great group of workers who handled the job professionally and with great care. Being so busy, I had to wait over 3 months before he and crew could do the work. Both my wife and I are very happy with the quality of work and the cleanup. I highly recommend this business."

"Luis is a very cordial and competent supervisor/manager and his tree trimmer was super clearly an expert at his craft. We had a limited budget and told Luis what we needed and they did it all for the budget we had available. There is no doubt that we would reccomend them."

"We had purchased 6 fruit trees from another company in which they had professionally planted for us started to go down hill in less than 6 months of planting. This company kept selling us different products to fertilize the trees, but their health continued to decline. We hired Mario after a free consultation. The free consultation was over an hour in which he studied the soil, the roots, the tree leaves, examined the trees very closely. By the time he was done with the FREE consultation we were so educated about trees, how they grow, how they need to be planted and what they need to thrive it wasn't just the trees that benefited. In fact after he left my husband double checked and researched what he was telling us was indeed true with other arborist. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about what he does he truly personally cares about your specific project and goes above and beyond to see it through."

"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

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.
