"Here’s a polished review you can use or adapt: --- I recently hired this landscaping company to trim my palm trees, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the first phone call to the final cleanup, their team was professional, punctual, and easy to work with. They arrived on time, explained exactly what they would be doing, and took great care while trimming the palms. The trees look healthier, cleaner, and much more balanced now. I especially appreciated how carefully they removed the dead fronds without over-trimming, which shows they really understand proper palm maintenance. Cleanup was excellent — they left my yard looking better than when they arrived. No debris, no loose branches, nothing left behind. They arrived on time, explained exactly what they would be doing, If you’re looking for reliable, knowledgeable landscapers who take pride in their work, I highly recommend them. I will definitely be using their services again for future maintenance."

Customers say: Quick response

"This is the 2nd time I have used Green Topps. On this adventure they did some landscaping in our front yard, Josh and his crew showed up, he went over everything to make sure we were both on track for plan. His crew were professional, courteous, respected my property and took care in everything they did! They completed in one day and cleaned up well, Josh stayed behind to water the fresh plants and rinse off the new rock edging. They did not disappoint, if you need tree service, landscaping anything in their realm this is the company to get! You won't be disappointed; I will continue to call them for projects on my home!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don’t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.
