Customers say: Quality work

"Greg and crew were able to do my work on the same day that I spoke with him. They were amazing! Very kind and great to work with. I had 6 small stumps, they were done in 30 minutes, and did a great job with clean up and even used a blower to clean off my front porch. And the price was so reasonable. Iâ  ll absolutely be calling them again!"

"We had a large Maple tree in our front yard that was leaning over the house so we hired Oak Tree Service take it down. They cut down the tree and cleaned up the yard in just a few hours, and removed all the branches & trunk. We highly recommend Christopher Perez and his crew."

"The service was excellent. I hired LW to cut a large oak tree down overhanging my home. I only asked them to cut the tree down and chip the branches. They went above and beyond by doing that, and cutting most of the tree into firewood. They left the site clean and even managed to work around most of the landscaping that was already in place."

"The crew was on time, started work immediately and completed the job in about 6 hours… cut/remove 2 large plus 6 medium trees, grind all stumps, cut/remove all undergrowth, spread wood chips evenly throughout. Price was significantly lower than other bids I received. Whole process from initial bid request to project completion was 5 days. Quality of service and work were both excellent. Would definitely use again in the future."

"They showed up on the jobsite as agreed and did an excellent job cutting down 80-foot oak trees which were located next to a wooden fen Job site and were leaning toward the house. They also cut down 4 smaller trees and I requested they leave one for my woodpile. They cut up and stacked the wood neatly and the final clean-up was excellent. I will use Carias Landscaping for any future needs."

"I refer this company to anyone. Our time is valuable and these guys were on top of it. Very nice and professional owner and employees! Great work and these guys did not stop until the fence repair was completed. They cleaned up everything they used. I am using this company to replace my deck and build me a sunroom. Excellent price for the work they are doing. Canâ t wait to see the finished project! I know it will look great! I would definitely recommend Lance and his team!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking. 

How often and long you should water a tree depends on the species and if it is mature or newly planted. The amount of water is also based on the tree's size. A good rule of thumb is approximately 5 gallons per inch of the trunk's diameter.

Adjusting watering to the recommended suggestions for the tree type and weather conditions is vital. For instance, watering trees during a drought is necessary, and you may need to water more frequently than usual.
