"Gabe's tree service successfully removed a large oak tree from my yard. Gabe and his crew were professional, hardworking, friendly, reliable, and fairly priced the project. They arrived on time, carefully performed the removal with no damage to surrounding planting, and clean up was thorough. I readily recommend Gabe's tree service and plan to use his services again. Thank you, Gabe and crew, for an A+ job!"

"Jorge did a fantastic job on my trees. It was a big job. His communication and follow thru were both excellent. Hard worker and went the extra mile on trimming the trees. He arrive early and was there all day until the job was done and cleaned up. Once he left everything was back in its place and yard was spotless. I highly recommend Cedar V. Best value you find."

"Fernandez Tree Care was amazing to work with. I had a large White Pine in my back yard that needed some help. I initially wanted to just trim the tree but on closer inspection and conversation we decided it was best to remove the tree due to the health and age of the tree. Humberto (super nice guy) is a certified Arborist and while speaking through all of our options he was very informative and understanding that I was having a hard time deciding to remove the tree (he should also be a licensed therapist for how indecisive I was) but, as mentioned above, due to health and age of the tree, trimming it was only a band-aid for future issues. Day of, the crew was very friendly, professional, and quick. An 8 hour job only took about 5 hours and they helped with a few other tree/stump issues around the property because they had the equipment there. They did not have to do this but it was no trouble for Humberto and his team. They also took great care in cleaning up in both my yard and my neighbors yard where debris fell. Neighbors have already asked for the recommendation because they were so professional. All this at a very reasonable price too. I look forward to working with Fernandez Tree Care again very soon to get a new tree set up in our yard and would absolutely recommend this team to anyone needing help with their trees, trimming, fertilizing, or removing."

"WOW!!! I struck a deal with them immediately due to their professionalism. They showed me what they would do and they did even more. It was a pleasure to watch them work. They cleaned up everything before leaving and I highly recommend them for Tree and shrub service. I will definitely use them again if needed. They have a professional team of workers and they took this big job of trimming my oversized tree. They are the best. Special thanks to Pearla who knows what a customer wants. I am a satisfied customer!"

"ALL SERVICE CALLS exceeded our expectations & provided excellent & prompt work at our home. From the timely, prompt & fair estimate to setting an appointment within 2 days, we were pleased with their labor. The team arrived on Thursday early & completed the work of clearing our trees & overgrowth within 4 hours. They also hauled away the debris. I plan to hire them again as for a few other projects as trees/landscaping is just one aspect of what they do. SIMPLY AWESOME. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL SERVICE CALLS LLC."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking. 

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.
