"My husband, who generally does our yard work himself was unable to do it this year so via Angis List Silvas Greenscape was recommended and we could not be happier with their work. They did an excellent job in removing the leaves and other debris from the lawn as well as cleaning the gutters. The customer service we received by Selena was excellent as well. Selena is very professional, respectful, personable, and responds to any questions in a prompt manner. We would definitely hire them again!"

"Amazing job trimming a massive tree looming over my yard/house. It's a tight space (city dwelling) and they did the job with care to my house, fence, and neighbors property."

"We were very happy with the results of our landscaping project done by Macauley Brothers. The new paver walkway looks fantastic. The front lawn was graded and and seeded and new grass started to appear just 4 days after it was sown. Grading was a challenge due to the roots of a large silver maple on one side but the crew was able to tackle it. The planting of the 8 ft arborvitaes required the removal of a few new sections of fence. The trees look great and the fence was put back up without a problem. Bernie Macauley was so easy to deal with from the initial estimate through completion. His crew was AWESOME too: polite, hard working and asked questions during installation to ensure that we got exactly what we wanted. The office staff communicated well too, keeping us appraised of start dates and working hard to source the exact Techno Bloc material that we wanted. Not an easy feat during the production issues and high demand caused by the pandemic. I highly recommend Macauley Brothers. Book early as this good landscaper's dance cards fill up early."

"Prompt callback and consult. Came with full team on scheduled day. Removed 3 trees and a couple of saplings and trimmed a 150 yr old oak as discussed. Removed all brush piles we had accumulated over the years. Cleaned up our space and neighbors space adjacent to work space. All workers and Leo were polite, professional and efficient. Fair price and great job!"

"C&J Tree service did an excellent job clearing some trees that were diseased on my property. They were on time, courteous and efficiently removed the trees and stumps, leaving the area ready for some fresh landscaping in the spring time (which I've already hired them to do). I highly recommend their services and plan to use them again for another project later this year to have arborvitae trees planted around the property line."

"The best. They show up early and work harder than anyone. Honestly, I didn't think the tree removals were possible. It was ruining both the foundation and fence. Everything was precisely the way I wanted it, at a price which was considerably less than I expected. No unwanted destruction, lots of care. They removed the fabric, but left the budding hyacinths somehow. People I don't know are walking by and yelling out compliments."

"Tree Works - Lopez was excellent. I requested a quote and Miquel was out first thing next morning. He viewed the work to be done, quoted on the spot and came with his team in the afternoon. The bucket truck negotiated my narrow driveway extremely well, the plastic planks protected my lawn. The tree trimming went flawlessly, with the chipper keeping up. The team worked well together, efficiently and in unison. Reasonable fee for the work involved. Would definitely recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Early signs that a tree is struggling include premature leaf shedding and lesions or other strange markings. Peeling bark, dead or rotten branches on the ground, and a conspicuous lack of leaves can all be signs that a tree has started to die. By the time a tree starts leaning, it’s usually too far gone to save.

Leaving a dead tree can expose your other trees to potential diseases, pests, and fungi, and it can also be a hazard. If your tree is dead, then you should hire a tree maintenance service to remove it. Cutting down trees is extremely dangerous, and a professional can ensure no one gets hurt and there is no damage to your property. Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 and will prevent future issues and keep you and your property safe.

Not all evergreen conifers need to be pruned, but some do. Pruning pine trees is not necessary, but you can do so during June and July if you wish. On the other hand, spruce, firs, and junipers do need to be pruned from late winter to early spring.
