"Absolutely fantastic service! Gene was extremely prompt, professional, caring, and thorough. I could tell from my first meeting with him that he cares about the service he provides and the trees that he works on. He is not only a licensed arborist, but he also keeps up to date on research and tree care techniques. The turnaround time was very quick. The team that came out was professional, efficient, and quick. He has the best equipment and an arborist on site during the work. Gene also came out to make sure instructions were clear."

"Mike and his crew did an excellent job taking out several trees for me and trimming others back. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and clearly knew what they were doing. The work was done carefully and the cleanup afterward was just as impressive everything looked neat and well taken care of. Their pricing was very fair, especially for the quality of work they provide. On top of that, they were genuinely friendly and easy to work with, which made the whole experience even better. It’s not always easy to find a crew that combines skill, reliability, and good customer service, but Mike and his team definitely delivered. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing tree work done."

"Good experience. Fast, professional and a price that was well below all the other competetors. Plus he actually did the right thing and checked on permit and got arborist to write a letter (all for no additional fee). I'm running out of trees, but if I need any more trimming, J Macias is definitely who I'm calling. (Remove one large laurel okay, major trim to second large laurel oak -- $2800)"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

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.
