"Aguilar and his team are so professional, hardworking, and very reasonably priced. He was on time and did multiple trees in my front and back yard for me.

"They removed a 23â palm tree, stump and roots and shaved down the edge of a concrete walkway where the roots had pushed it up. They did a perfect job leaving the site clean and looking like nothing had been disrupted - really quality workmanship. Highly recommend them."

"I recently hired Lopez Tree Service for a pruning job, and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. From start to finish, the team exhibited a high level of organization and skill that truly distinguishes them in the industry. Their crew worked harmoniously, with some members focused on pruning the trees while others diligently picked up and moved the cut branches. This coordinated approach ensured that the job was completed swiftly and without unnecessary delays. I was particularly impressed with how they managed the branches—they not only pruned effectively but also processed the debris through their mulch machine, leaving my yard immaculate. Additionally, the care they took with my property was commendable. My yard was left clean, and the remaining arbor trees looked healthier and more vibrant than ever. The thoroughness of their service reassured me that I made the right choice in selecting Lopez Tree Service. I highly recommend Lopez Tree Service"

"I had 3 small palms and 2 hardwood tree trunks removed. The workers cut the roots with axe sledges and hauled the trunks and sections over 6" away. I am a fussy customer and could not be happier now. Highly recommended!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.
