"I am very impressed with this company, from their responsiveness to their excellent standard of work. Mr. Martinez quickly responded to my voicemail and we set up a time the next day to meet at my house to review the work. He arrive promptly and was able to quickly assess the work and give me a ballpark cost. Although I am not an arborist, I work with municipal tree crews and I have a decent understanding of basic tree work. Mr. Martinez is a certified arborist, which means that he’s passed the rigorous training and testing required to achieve this professional certification. I was very impressed with his quick grasp of my general needs and his ability to discuss the pros and cons and recommend the best approach to the work. He sent me a proposal for the work later the same day. The cost was very reasonable, slightly less than his ballpark estimate (and considerably less than that quoted by several large, high-profile regional tree companies), so I was happy to sign the proposal and set up a time the following week to have the work done. His crew (of 4 men) arrived promptly at the scheduled time and reviewed the scope with me. I was very happy to see that they used all recommended safety equipment (helmets, ear and eye protection, climbing saddles, tie-off ropes, etc.). They performed the work quickly but always using proper equipment and techniques (undercutting limbs to reduce tearing at the trunk, etc.), cleaning up as they went. They also kept an eye on the alley, which they were blocking with their truck and other equipment; several times they cheerfully and quickly moved their vehicles so my neighbors could exit their garages without any waiting. Once the majority of the work was complete, they reviewed it with me, and did a bit more additional pruning at my request. When the tree work was complete, they did a great job of cleaning up all the debris, including blowing the sawdust off my walkways and patio; they also cleaned up debris and sawdust from my neighbor’s yard, as much of the work involved removing branches overhanging my neighbor’s property. This is was a great experience; I would highly recommend Progressive Tree Services to anyone needing tree work!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.

Sudden oak death and oak wilt are different diseases. Oak wilt first shows up in tree leaves while sudden oak death affects the branches and trunk. However, as symptoms in both can overlap, it’s best to consult a professional arborist tree expert for a proper diagnosis and development of a treatment plan.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

If your palm tree has spots on the leaves, rotting buds, or is beginning to turn yellow, then you have a sick tree on your hands. You should contact a palm tree specialist to identify the problem and help treat the tree if possible. Preventing diseases and pests is key to a healthy palm tree, and it's essential to take action as soon as possible if your tree is showing signs of being sick.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.
