"Wow! What a quick and efficient job. They masterfully trimmed both of our beloved Oak trees and didn't try to overcharge us like other companies. Then after they were done they cleaned up better than our regular lawn maintenance team. Could not be happier and will definitely be hiring again."

"We're glad that we found a great lawn care company that we are satisfied and appreciate their hard work crew; Walter, Jarbin and the other 2 guys to replace the sprinkler timer, replace the sod lawn, put new colorful plants around the palm tree and flowers & bushes too. Power washing on the steps and sidewalk look much better clean. ð ð We already recommended to our next door neighbor. If you hire Walter, you'll be glad you did. ð Walter have a good knowledge of landscaping and feedback. Fantastic job!! ð ð ºð ¸ð ´ð ª´ Robert & Catherine B."

"Raphael was very prompt in responding to my request for quote and arrived exactly on time to do the evaluation. He was very professional and clearly explained his qualifications, recommendations and work plan. In addition, he listened well to understand what we wanted. The quote was very reasonable as well. On the day of the tree service, the staff that arrived to work were on time and very professional with well maintained equipment. They communicated the plan again to ensure it was what we had intended. And after work they cleaned up the area of all debris and cuttings, leaving it as if they hadnâ t been there except for some nicely trimmed trees â which were all done cleanly and were well balanced. In addition, they trimmed in a way that wonâ t damage the tree itself and followed good arborist techniques. Also, the final charge was exactly as we agreed upon in the quote with no hidden fees or upcharges. I will definitely be using them the next time we need our trees maintained and recommended them to neighbors."

"Yonis, the owner is a great person to do business with. I called him for an estimate to clean up my overgrown patio garden and get rid of some trees that were eyesores and difficult to maintain. He responded quickly, gave me a very reasonable quote He and his crew came out and took away everything that was necessary to open my space and created a clean and fresh looking place. He is very personable and has worked in his field for many years since his youth to now where he has his own business. I recommend him without any reservation."

"I appreciate the responsiveness of Belmontscape. I had a small job to remove loose river rock along a fence line in preparation for a fence replacement project by another contractor. Many landscapers would have passed on my request. Belmontscape came out and assessed my request. Once scheduled, the team arrived on time and did a fantastic job. This was a labor intensive project but the team was cheerful and took pride in the job. I would highly recommend Belmontscape for your landscaping needs because they are very dependable and are very professional."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

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.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.
