"We have several fruit trees in the yard that needed trimming. We had them trimmed several years ago and noticed that they have not been as productive with fruit since. We wanted a company that included arborists to ensure that the tree trimming would result in a healthy and productive tree. We looked at companies with the most favorable Yelp reviews and we called Mana. Cody came to assess the job and gave us a fair price. On the assigned day, he and his crew of 4 came and did a fantastic job of trimming our trees. One of their arborists, Jorge R., was the one who went up the trees and selectively cut branches, while also leaving flowering branches intact so that we could potentially get some fruit from the tree this season. Also, we are able to again see the great view over the lanai now that the trees have been trimmed How we appreciated that! The crew was hard working and respectful. They did a great job cleaning up. Our yard looked cleaner after they left! We are so happy with Mana's work and plan to continue to use their services when we again need our trees trimmed. Mahalo Mana!"

"We live on a hillside with 30 fruit trees and a lot of overgrown vegetation. Scott and his crew came in and worked for 3 full days removing trees, weeding beds, trimming branches and taking all the rubbish away to make our space look amazing. The team could not have been a better example of hard work and pride in their craft. Early in the bidding, I tried to cheap out and have him just weed whack the weeds and he explained how they would grow right back and it’s worth it to have them take the time to remove everything the right way. I took his recommendation and so glad we did. I didn’t know backyard dirt could look that sexy! We were quick to find other projects for the team so we had a reason to bring him back and this week they are coming back to install French drain and gutter drainage pipes. I can’t say enough good things about this team and appreciate all they have done."

"Susano and his crew (of 6) did a wonderful job. On time, professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and clean. Job was done in approx. 5 hrs. They started at 8 am sharp and we done by 1 pm. Cost was competitive but reasonable and well worth it. I will definitely give Susano a call again for maintenance and other work. I would highly would recommend him to family & friends! Thank you Susano & crew!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Ensures complete removal and mitigates risks of underground root damage.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.
