"Absolutely fantastic service! Gene was extremely prompt, professional, caring, and thorough. I could tell from my first meeting with him that he cares about the service he provides and the trees that he works on. He is not only a licensed arborist, but he also keeps up to date on research and tree care techniques. The turnaround time was very quick. The team that came out was professional, efficient, and quick. He has the best equipment and an arborist on site during the work. Gene also came out to make sure instructions were clear."

"I’ve used MJ Family Tree Service multiple times now, and they’ve done an excellent job every single time. They’re always professional, on time, and the quality of work is top notch. Most recently, they trimmed a large tree over my driveway and did an amazing job. They were very careful with the work, cleaned everything up thoroughly afterward, and left the area looking great. It’s hard to find companies that are this reliable and consistent nowadays. I highly recommend MJ Family Tree Service to anyone needing tree work done."

"Ward Tree Service/Matt was prompt in replying to my needs to trim back all my trees& clean my roof of tree debris. This was a big job: backyard oak that covered my house& double property and was almost touching the sidewalk, two massive ferns(dangerous to touch for man or beast), my precious Jacaranda, split in two and more. When he said, â I take what I cut.â when he said, â I take what I cut, he meant it! No mess to clean up. Price was fair, he knew trees and where to cut ( arborist). I wish I could include photos. Otherwise, my advicemoire this company I wish I could include photos. Otherwise, my advice, hire Ward Tree!"

"The owner called in a timely manner and made arrangements to view my site. Completed the work the next day. Our house backs up to a lot of trees so future business. Very customer focused and offered advice on some fertilizer for my palm trees. Will definitely have them back in a few months to do additional work. And a couple of years when I have the entire surrounding trees trimmed back from the house."

"Good experience. Fast, professional and a price that was well below all the other competetors. Plus he actually did the right thing and checked on permit and got arborist to write a letter (all for no additional fee). I'm running out of trees, but if I need any more trimming, J Macias is definitely who I'm calling. (Remove one large laurel okay, major trim to second large laurel oak -- $2800)"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

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.

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.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.
