"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."

"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."

"I am 100% satisfied with the immaculate work done by Francisco and his team. He was reliable, organized, professional and left the site clean. He also was a good communocator; provided good consultation with me on diverse concerns I had with my landscape plant selection, placement, tree trimming, soil preparation, fertilization, sprinkler snafus, and lighting issues."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

A palm tree's lifespan typically ranges from 40 to 100 years, though some species can live much longer. For example, certain types of Date Palm trees can live for over 200 years. The exact longevity of a palm tree is influenced by several factors, including its species, size, climate, and growing conditions. To maximize your palm's lifespan, provide proper care and maintenance, such as ensuring it gets enough sunlight, water, and nutrients, and protecting it from pests and diseases. For expert maintenance tips, consider consulting a professional arborist.

Full decorating services often provide rental trees for their Christmas packages, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding one. However, individual interior decorators and others may not offer rented trees, so always check the specifics of their services before booking. Keep in mind that you’ll need to prepare the Christmas tree for pick-up shortly after the holidays.

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

Yes, carefully prune back dead branches—don’t wait for pruning season. This helps keep your maple tree healthy and also helps prevent large branches from falling unexpectedly. Don’t seal the cut branch—trees can naturally take care of these wounds—but be sure to remove any source of fungus or pest infestation to help save the tree.
