"Very professional. Arrived as promised and completed the landscaping as promised for agreed price. I hired him to update the landscaping across the front and around the side of my house which involved pulling some plants, cleaning some plants of unwanted growth, cleaning the plant beds and installing new plants. Finally, putting down new mulch. I could not be more pleased."

"When I reached out to Angis List on Tuesday , Mr Lopez was in my driveway B4 my phone stopped ringing from the other providers. We surveyed the job together , discussing what I wanted and what he would do. We agreed on a price in less than 10 minutes and set the appointment for Thursday of the same week. Mr Lopez reached out via text to re confirm and was here with his crew by 8a.m. Got right to work and left the area clean & tidy of debris. You cant even tell that any work was done except that the trees are gone!! :) De Leon Landscaping does it all....mulch/rock/sod...plants...yard cleanup and maintenance...tree and shrub trimming. Mr Lopez is the only yard man that you will ever need. Top notch service and work. Thank you again Mr Lopez and AngisList"

"HIGHLY recommend Alex and his team. After receiving 6 quotes to remove a large 50ft oak from a hard to access spot between my pool and a fence, Alex came in with a good price but it was after meeting him that I knew he was the one for the job. I felt comfortable having him in charge of the job while I wasn’t home. Him and his crew did a great job and cleaned up everything including some extra TLC like skimming branches out of my pool after. I am very happy with the work and will definitely use Gold Palm again in the future for any tree needs."

"Prompt professional work. Marco and his crew cleared and landscaped my overgrown disaster of a yard in a timely manner. A beautiful mulched garden was put in. Marco's price was by far the most reasonable quote I was given. A+ work, I highly recommend Marco Landscaping."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.

Peach trees grow to be about 25 feet, so keep this in mind for pruning as well. If you plan to DIY, you’ll need to be comfortable working on a ladder. Without pruning, peach tree branches can sprawl nearly as wide as the tree grows tall, so make sure to plan pruning sessions at least once per year in the spring for controlled growth. And if you’re working on a ladder, be sure to follow all safety precautions, especially if you’ll be dealing with falling branches.

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.

Palm tree removal can cost anywhere between $100 and $1,800 depending on palm size, tree condition, labor, location, and the amount of prep work involved. With the necessary skills, a DIY palm tree removal for trees shorter than 15 feet can lower costs. However, it’s generally recommended that you hire a palm tree expert for tree removal.

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.
