"Wow. I almost never write reviews. But these guys went so far above and beyond anything I expected, I want to shout it from the mountaintops. The best price of several quotes, no hidden charges, one day service, quick, efficient and super friendly. They are more professional than any national franchise or chain I've ever dealt with. I contacted several companies for my project. Most involved leaving a message, waiting for a call back from someone in another office who 'took' information I already provided and still saying they would have to work on the details and have someone else call me back. Even after I stressed that I was under a tight deadline, some didn't call back until the deadline passed. (A few actually advertised same-day service which is clearly not true when they don't even return your call in one day). I had a household that needed packed and moved quickly for an unexpected sale that happened before the property was even listed. I promised to have it cleared out in 2 days before I realized it may not be so easy to do that. Leondre' responded quickly, provided a flat rate quote (not a list of extra fees and surcharges), scheduled an appointment, arrived on time and flawlessly tackled a project that would have taken me forever- in just a few hours. When we spend hundreds of dollars a month in the wealthiest grocery/discount store in the world; sweating through their aisles while trying to maneuver past pallets blocking the path, then waiting in line for what seems like hours because they only have one of their 20+ lanes open- still doing the loading and bagging work ourselves- you have to wonder how a guy like Leondre' would improve customer service (and sales) if he were in charge of this international corporation. I wish all businesses operated like his and I will call him every time I need any of the many services his company provides."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.
