"Cardona Tree Service did an outstanding job. When beryl came to my property I lost six huge oak trees. I called cardona tree service the next day and they were able to come the same day to remove the tree. They also did an outstanding job grinding the tree stumps and removing the debris. They have proven to be very professional, competent and the best part is their prices are very reasonable. I would not hesitate to call them again if i needed the service. Ronald Beaulieu"

"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."

"Ramos Tree service did a fabulous ? job. His prices were reasonable. They cleaned up after themselves and came back the next day as promised to remove the stump. The only thing I didn't like is we agreed on the work being done at 3 pm, and they showed up at 8 am.I had to leave them at my home because I had something else to do. Other than that, they were fantastic, and I will use again and / or recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.
