"Once again, I am impressed by this company. Isabela was able to fit me into a tight schedule with very little notice from me. She went above and beyond to get this done for me. Dennis did an amazing job washing the interior and exterior windows and doors and brushed all the screens. Very hard worker, polite and trustworthy. He takes pride in his work. I highly recommend this company. Although I only had them wash my windows this year, last year, on top of the window washing, they power washed my house, brick paver patio, driveway and so much more as well as cleaned my gutters & downspouts ... all at a very reasonable price. They did a great job then and now. I will continue to use them."

"Kurt was very reliable and patient while listening to my ideas for planting. He made some suggestions that I really liked. Even after the work was done, he followed up with some watering instructions that were appreciated. I would rehire for any additional work I might need."

"Of all the Landscape Designers I consulted, Dean from D&D was the most responsive. He came when he said he would. I have a small yard, but I wanted all new plants. I am not into gardening. My only requirement was that the redesigned yard have color during the entire growing season. Dean made a design and went over it with me, showing me the new design on paper and then using pics on an iPad to show me how the plants he was recommending would look in different seasons. He said he would require that I pay for the underground irrigation system and landscape lights he wanted to install. I had not planned on that so I asked him to explain. He explained that the underground drip irrigation would ensure that the plants would be regularly watered per a timer. He said the lights would make the landscaping look beautiful after dark. The price he quoted for all of it was reasonable and he did everything he said he would around the time he said he would. He did come by a few days before starting the project, looked at two of the trees in the yard, and said, he would like to replace them. He explained how the new trees he planned to put in their stead would enhance the beauty of the yard. Dean did a fantastic job with the design. It looks beautiful and has improved the curb appeal of my house. I have had multiple neighbors - including a family who has a beautiful yard themselves - stop to tell me how beautiful the new landscaping looks. The irrigation system has caused me to be totally worry-free about watering the plants. The lights do enhance the beauty of the yard and the house at night. I had not imagined that my small yard could look this pretty. Dean is pleasant to work with. He is responsive. And he uses technology and simple explanations to help amateurs like me understand what he is visualizing. He did the work on time, Except for the cost of the two trees he added later, his estimate was accurate. I would trust Dean's landscape design skills again in a heartbeat."

"Bowline is the best tree service around. Customer service is great Kevin is kind, honest and hardworking. Him and his crew have cut two very large trees down for us and did the stump grind in the past 2 weeks. They do a wonderful job, they clean up, they show up on time and his prices are very fair. I will recommend this company to anyone looking for work time and time again. Thank you so much Kevin for working with us!"

"Francisco and his dad came to estimate and gave me a reasonable price. They made sure to call me if plans had changed and when we rescheduled they came on time and made the area look great. You would have never known I had tree branches in the area. They cleaned up very nicely and worked efficiently. I would definitely hire them for another project."

"Arturo and his three-man crew did an excellent job all the way around. The edging and mulch look great. Afterward, the entire area was cleaned up and looked as if they were never there. I would recommend AQ Landscaping to anyone looking for quality work in a timely manner."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.

Tree pruning is a common and helpful tree maintenance technique that involves carefully cutting and trimming unwanted branches so that the tree can continue to grow and thrive. Pruning is done carefully and intentionally. Tree topping is a frowned-upon method that involves removing and cutting most or the entirety of the top of the tree, including structurally important branches.

Absolutely. These steps are significantly easier, too, especially when it comes to preserving the root ball and moving the palm tree. However, you will want to make sure the tree has plenty of fertilizer to establish itself and start growing. Supports may also be more important, as it can take extra time for a potted palm to spread out its roots. If you are transferring a palm to another pot, you’ll want to move up a size or two to a larger pot. Make sure the pot has excellent drainage to keep the palm from getting waterlogged.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter—between February and March. That’s because it’s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.
