"Paulo, Sr. and Paulo, Jr. trimmed four trees for us this morning. We had them take down an entire tree in the summer of 2022 as well. Both experiences were outstanding. They are timely, professional, efficient and you don't even know they've been in your yard when they leave. Would highly recommend them for any tree service you need."

"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."

"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."

"Nic Tree Service was a great choice! I got quotes from 3 different companies to cut down tree branches hanging over my house and was the lowest quote. The price was fair and got the job done in less than an hour. I will definitely be going with Nic Tree Service again for any tree services needed."

"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!"

"We recently hired Castro’s Tree Service out of Elgin, IL, and had a great experience from start to finish. They removed two trees, ground down one stump, and trimmed a third tree on our property. The crew was professional, hardworking, and respectful throughout the entire job. They showed up on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned everything up very well when they were done. One thing we especially appreciated was that they even left us some of the cut wood so we could start building a wood storage pile for future burning. The quality of work was excellent, and the pricing was fair for the amount of work completed. I would definitely recommend Castro’s Tree Service to anyone looking for reliable and professional tree work in the area."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture. Tree-climbing varieties live primarily in western states while low-growing poison oak bushes occupy the eastern states. Treat poison oak like poison ivy to get rid of it permanently.
