"The crew from J&R arrived on time and immediately went to work all of my questions about the job were expertly answered with courtesy. Upon completion of the tree trimming the crew members removed all of the debris and cleaned my yard completely. I will definitely use J&R for any additional Tree Service that I need in the future"

Small jobs welcome

I’m a jack of all trades. I was raised to work hard and I have experience in multiple areas. I do excavation for my full time job so I am just looking for a little extra work on the side. I have a truck and trailer so my services can expand beyond what is listed. Thank you for the opportunity!

"Michael showed up early on in the process because I had a limb that was split within the tree, and I was concerned that it was about to break out and fall and cause property damage. He and his crew came out right away prior to a storm a couple of days later, (which would have certainly caused the limb to finish breaking within the tree), and got the limbs cut, not just on the tree of concern, but also trees in other parts of my yard. He got them piled up neatly, and removed the piles in short order. Great job, and I highly recommend!"

"These guys are great! They were very prompt, courteous and quick. PRICING WAS EXCELLENT! We had a large walnut tree that was looming large over our backyard. Our tree had huge branches we were concerned may take out our privacy fence and possibly hit our neighbor's garage. My wife and I had been looking for a good price for a couple years now, but it was just hard to find. After checking Angie's List and sending messages out to 3 different companies, Mendoza Tree Service was the first to reach out to us. They were very polite and professional from our first conversation with them. When the guys arrived, they got straight to work and made quick work of a very large tree. THE WORK THEY DID EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS!!! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE NEEDING TREES TRIMMED OR CUT."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it.

Yes, carefully prune back dead branches—don’t wait for pruning season. This helps keep your maple tree healthy and also helps prevent large branches from falling unexpectedly. Don’t seal the cut branch—trees can naturally take care of these wounds—but be sure to remove any source of fungus or pest infestation to help save the tree.
