"Absolutely great job! I had 2 very large Hertiage oak trees cut back. There were tons of branches on the ground when they were done. Picked up every one & hauled it away. Also trimmed 2 smaller palms out front. Great price. Very professional. Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone."

"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."

"CPL was true to their slogan- honest, professional and affordable. Steven was a great project manager, communication was excellent and work was completed as promised. We had tree removal and pruning as well as an irrigation upgrade. They took the time to walk us through the completed work and clean up all dirt and debris. We are very pleased."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.

Lightning can cause massive damage, fires, and openings for other threats like bugs or fungal diseases. Barring any large fires or explosions, it’s difficult to tell how much damage a lightning strike has done until after a thorough inspection. Contact local authorities immediately if lightning strikes a tree in your yard and it causes a fire or explosion.

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.

The cost of professional tree trimming averages $460, with a typical range between $200 and $760. However, prices can be as low as $75 or as high as $1,800 depending on several factors. The size and type of the tree are major cost drivers; for example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while trimming giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the price include the time of year, as services are often more costly in the spring. The tree's accessibility and your location also play a role, as a remote or hard-to-reach tree may increase the cost. Some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees to trim.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.
