"Great job. Victor and Gabriela were extremely friendly and understanding to our needs. Large tree close to the house in the backyard. The 3 person crew had experience to drop all the limbs safely. Price was competitive for a maple with 3 large spires At 60 plus feet tall the 7 hour completion was impressive. Logging truck showed the same day and removed all the trunk pieces during stump grinding and clean up. Sad to see the big old girl go, but she took a serious lightening strike and held her own until it was time..."

"Very Satisfied! Prompt, professional and courteous service. I've been in the service business for over 40 years and I was impressed by their attention to detail! They removed a massive Silver Maple that was 12" from my house and had huge branches that hung over my garage. They worked quickly, methodically, efficiently and respectfully! Best price for the job, too! Definitely recommend them to anyone needing tree removal, trimming, or stump grinding."

"I highly recommend using Tapia Landscaping. They responded quickly to my request, and by the next morning all of my yard cleanup was done. They did exactly what they said they would do, but the end result went beyond my expectations! I will definitely contact them if I have any other yard needs."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.

Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it’s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.
