"CG Arborist Services did an outstanding job trimming the trees in my yard. They arrived as scheduled and stayed the entire day trimming the 12 plus trees in my yard, one of which I actually had them cut down completely. Not only did they do a great job trimming and cutting down my trees, but they also did a great job cleaning up afterwards, too. I would highly recommend CG Arborist Services to anyone looking to have professional tree work done in their yard at an excellent price."

"Mike Thomas, the owner/operator responded to my call promptly. He came to my home within a few days and presented me with a written statement of cost on completion. My neighbors and I were able to schedule the stump grinding within a short period of time that fit our schedule. The work was completed as described in the work order. Mike arrived on time and completed the job in a neat and orderly fashion. I would recommend him to anyone including family and friends."

"Twins Tree Service did an amazing job. Trimmed and cleaned my trees to my specifications. Left my yard clean. Juan came to my home and evaluated the project I needed done. He was very reasonable with his estimate for 2 trees. He and his crew arrived when they were supposed to and considerate of my time. I would utilize the company again for future projects and highly rerecommend them to others looking for tree service. Small company looking to expand their customer base."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

DIY home gardening can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you’d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you’d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you’ll need and how often to schedule them.

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.
