"At first this was just going to be tree stump removal & planting 3 trees. Then the job got bigger and it was picking up the trees from the nursery and planing 4 trees. No problem for Guillermo and AMG tree service. The job was done well and I will be recommending him to friends. Thanks AMG tree service and Angie!"

"I purchased a deal through Angie's List for 5 square yards of mulch delivered and spread. I contacted Del Rio's and left a message after hours. The next day Ramon called me back and we worked to schedule a time for the deliver of the mulch. My schedule is challenging, and Ramon was very patient. He worked my schedule even though I live outside of their regular service area. Ramon and his crew delivered the mulch on a Saturday morning. They spread the mulch thick and with great care. Now my plants visually pop out of the landscaping and the beds look clean. I know the mulch helps keep the moisture in the soil. I do wish I lived in Del Rio's regular service area. Their customer service was wonderful."

"Small family run business - Responsive, thoughtful, flexible, good value for the money - outstanding! We started with a simple moving and planting of multiple trees project, but already hired them to take over weekly maintenance and now outlining a larger landscaping project to start soon. Highly recommend!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

Local tree removal prices range from $200 to $2,000 overall, but vary depending on:

  • Local cost of labor and supplies

  • Accessibility of the tree

  • Local laws regarding who is allowed to remove the tree

  • The species of the tree (softer woods are often easier to remove)

  • Local seasonal discounts for the off-season

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.
