"We've used Noe Cardenas for many years, and he is the definition of a professional arborist. Knows so much about trees and cares about their well- being, while at the same time running a responsible, well-organized crew that does great tree trimming and removal quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend."

"I first hired Roper Tree Surgeon & Landscaping in June 2014 to do a major tree cutting on some huge ficus trees.  This project required a truck with a boom, another truck with a large wood-chipper, and an experienced crew capable of cutting big trees so close to my house.  Roper surpassed my expectations in every way, and I was thrilled with the outcome.
When Mr. Roper and I discussed additional projects, I was really impressed with his knowledge, and willingness to help me with free advice and without any sales pitch.   So I hired the company again in July for a large landscaping project, which included:  A new automatic sprinkler system, replacing the front lawn and parkway grass with sod, replacing old shrubs with planting of new flowers, trees, and shrubs, and root pruning ficus trees and replacing the sidewalk destroyed by the roots.
Roper Tree finished the project on time and on budget.  I couldn't be happier with the results!  Mr. Roper takes genuine pride in his work, does not look for shortcuts, and does what he promises to do.   He is driven by customer satisfaction.  I look forward to working with Mr. Roper again, and recommend him wholeheartedly!"

"Robert Duran and his crew from 3-D Tree Services, Inc. were top notch today from the quote/survey to completion! 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! Referrals will flow!"

"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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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 the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it’s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it’s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.

The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Professionals use assessments, strategic cuts, specialized equipment, and safety measures to ensure healthy growth or the safe removal of trees or shrubs.
