"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..."

"Juan isn't just a person with a team who can remove large trees with efficiency; he is an arborist who really has vision of what can be done with a property. I recommend him not only for tree removal but for planting and landscape work. And the value that you get for the price is just great."

"We hired Rojas to replace a timber retaining wall and to clean up, edge and mulch the beds around our house. Lino and his crew were very professional, flexible and efficient and delivered beautiful work for a very fair price. I would hire them again."

"Humberto and his crew were amazing! If I could give them more than five stars, I absolutely would. He came out the very same day to provide a quote for trimming three trees. His price was better than any of the other estimates I received, and he started the job right on time. The entire project was completed in just one day, and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations. I was so impressed that I’ll definitely be hiring Humberto again this spring to clean up my backyard and do more tree trimming. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and reasonably priced tree service!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won’t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree—but you’ll need to know how tall it can get when it’s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.

If you ever want to see the literal fruits of your labor, you’ll need to prune your peach trees. Without pruning, the trees may not grow or bear fruit since the nutrients will be divided among too many offshoots to provide any with enough energy to produce the peaches. Plus, if parts of the peach tree become diseased or pest-ridden, pruning can nip those problems in the bud.

Early signs that a tree is struggling include premature leaf shedding and lesions or other strange markings. Peeling bark, dead or rotten branches on the ground, and a conspicuous lack of leaves can all be signs that a tree has started to die. By the time a tree starts leaning, it’s usually too far gone to save.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
