"I will be using All About Landcaping again for additional projects. Benny was extremely responsive with all communication, was extremely reasonable with pricing and did excellent work! We had Benny and his team trim and reshape 3 sets of 20 foot arborvites which was a challenging task to start, but they worked this project with ease. One set of the arborvites is located alongside our inground pool and they were very professional with the process so they made cleanup look effortless. The pool was clear of any debris and for this I was most appreciative! If I was able to share before / after I sure would as the results were fantastic. We will be making contacting with All About Lanscaping for power washing / painting our house next. Highly recommend!"

"BOSS Tree Service did an amazing job at our property. Removed about 20 large trees and many other small ones. They also excavated and cleared up our front yard to finally have a lovely grass yard! Great people to work with."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.
