"Beautifully. We choose them in 2014 because they were available after a major storm. In 2014, they repaired major damage to several trees and gave us excellent advice about trees on our property. These people are arborists, not merely tree cutters. In 2016, they moved a 10-ft section of decorative block wall away from a large tree. The results were stunning: you would think that the wall had originally been laid in its current location.. In neither case did we get other bids, but I suspect this firm is a bit pricier than many others. Still, I would ask them for a proposal, for you will get a free education that is worth your time."

"Axcobar did an excellent job on my property. Arrived promptly, wrote up an estimate for the many trees I needed taken down or trimmed up. Gave me a fair price. Arrived with a crew of 8 along with 28004 dump trucks, a stump grinder, large chipper, self-propelled grapple, chainsaws, trimmers, etc. All-day job. Excellent workmanship. Couldn’t be happier with the results and professionalism."

"They responded to quickly to my request to trim two ornamental apple trees with a very reasonable quote. Upon arriving at my home, I could tell the camaraderie of the 5 man crew. The tree climber was incredible in what he did. The supporting crew cleaned up the yard before they left. I also accepted an offer to trim the overgrown bushes in my front yard again for a reasonable fee. It was clear that they knew what they were doing here as well. They improved the appearance of my landscape significantly. It only took them an hour and half to complete the work which would have taken me a day (assuming I can climb trees). After they were done, they gathered around the grinder to socialize before moving on to the next job. It was sincerely a pleasure to work with these men."

"I've lived in this house since 2002 and always hated having the 9 pine trees on the side of the property so close to the house. Most of the trees were at least 60+ feet tall. Oliver & Oscar presented a VERY reasonable price quote for the complete tree removal to include hauling away all debris, grinding the stumps and hauling away the wood chips. Trust me when I say reasonable price quote, as I've obtained no less than 20 estimates over the years. They left only the chips to fill in the hole that was left from grinding. They presented their license and insurance upon request and reviews were easily found everywhere. They completed the work in just a little over a days time. We could not be happier with the work performed. The crew was very friendly and was happy to talk and answer any questions we had. If I ever need any tree work in the future, I will absolutely, without hesitation call O & O Tree Services again. THANK YOU!"

"We had a very good experience with the New Creation Tree Service. Edwin Contreras owner of the Service and his crew did a good job in cutting the dead tree plus the pruning of another tree in our yard. In addition, Mr. Contreras was professional, knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and help with other issues regarding yard work. We greatly appreciate his practical and honest recommendations about pruning more trees in our yard. His reasonable charge, good tree service, knowledge willingness to help and over-all great customer service are ingredients for us to request for help in the future. Thank you very much. G. Sundaresan"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

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.

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years.
