"We've had trees removed from our property in the past, but, Tree Surgeons surpassed them. They were pleasant, polite, and professional, and did what they said at a fair price! They placed boards in our front yard so as not to mess up the yard as they drove the bobcat over it. When they finished, in our backyard, you could not tell they'd even been there. They did a great job and even cleaned up the cul-de-sac."

"These guys were great. I hired them to take down some very large dead trees and clear a bunch of nasty brush, vines, and fallen trees along my steep creek bank. It was certainly not a very attractive job. I was pretty impressed at their ingenuity and skill at cutting and extracting the trees from the creek. They initially thought it was a 2 day job, but they brought a crew of 6 and knocked it out in one day working past dark to get it done. I paid them in full, thanked them, and sent them on their way. The next day in the daylight I was kind of disappointed in the end product, not terrible, but still a lot of small loose brush and vines on the ground and ruts from the bobcat. I contacted Alberto and he immediately sent 3 guys back out to do some rake and shovel work for a few hours to dress up the area and get it looking good. These are friendly, customer service oriented people with a good work ethic and integrity. Highly recommend."

"I'd recommend JLD Tree Services for future projecrs. Javier just finished cutting and trimming an old huge oak tree in my front yard. Not only did he do a great job, but he also cut up pieces into firewood. As well as cleaned up and removed all of the tree debris from my front yard. Thanks Javier"

"This company is amazing. From my first meeting with Omar I felt like I was talking to a friend.. He made the whole experience of such a large project of cutting down 3 large trees and replacing a privacy fence feel not so overwhelming. His team worked fast , safely and efficiently . I would highly recommend this company and would definitely use them again in the future!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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. 

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.
