"Mario was great! Called me back. Came when he said he would for an estimate. Arrived on time to remove tree and grind the stump. I contacted 3 other tree services from the internet and one couldn’t show up on time even for an estimate. Another one never returned my call and the 3rd took 3 weeks just for an estimate that was out of reason. Hire Mario if you want a great job at a reasonable cost."

"Excellent service. Prompt evaluation. Reasonable price. On time for the job. They cleaned everything up. Also, communicated everything they were doing and why. We had a large tree that had several years of neglect, it now looks beautiful. They also removed a row bushes that my wife hated. Thank you Daniel and team!"

"My neighbor had 5 trees removed by them. Watching them work I realized I was watching professionals. I hired them to have 3 very large trees removed from my property and was happy with the work both in speed and price. I will be using them from now on for all my tree service."

"Hernandez tree care service was great. Easy to communicate with during estimate process and very helpful in evaluting tree removal and trimming of others. Went above and beyond to cleanup yard from limbs and even removed the fallen leaves we had not cleaned up yet. Also acquired part & repaired a flower bed sprinkler line that incidentally got broken in the neighbor's yard. Will definitely use their services again. Appreciate their business integrity and pride in there work."

"Top-Notch tree service has really lived up to its name every time I've used them. They've trimmed trees for me as well as taking out trees that unfortunately had to go. Their people are extremely skilled at what they do and have taken on Jobe requiring a huge crane to complete. I've literally never been concerned about any aspect of what they advised needing to be done."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.
