"Once again Ballard did a great job. The tree was next to a split rail fence and a shed. The guys brought it down carefully a piece at a time. They worked extremely efficiently and cleaned up great when done. Will absolutely use again. Thanks Ballard."

"Very friendly estimator, listened to what I wanted done and explained about their insurances and worker's comp payments. Treescape was the first and only company to respond to my HomeAdvisor/Angi inquiry which surprised me. Their price seemed fair to me (and I always underestimate what projects will cost). The work crew arrived on time even though it was a hellishly hot day. Very carefully took down one tree which was between my deck and fence and trimmed back another one about 50%. Excellent clean up, very satisfied and would definitely hire them again. My neighbor had them come out a week later to take down a tree for him."

"I had a great experience with this company. They arrived to my home on time. They improved the overall shape of the tree. They cut back branches that were hanging over the gutters on the house and driveway. They cleaned up all the debris. The tree looks great! The service was prompt. I am very pleased with the service that they provided. The price was very reasonable! Quotes from offer providers was much higher."

"Mr. Lopez’s staff was absolutely awesome! I received an accurate estimate. More importantly, they took 45 minutes to remove two trees. It was methodical. I personally called Mr. Lopez and thanked him for outstanding service."

"I have a lot of trees in my backyard many of which have died over the years. Recently two more died and one other appeared to be dying and I was thinking about calling a tree service. I was in a local car wash in January and Richard, wearing a shirt with his business logo, was there as well. I had seen his trucks in our neighborhood and and asked for his card, but he offered to come over right away. After inspecting my yard, he recommended removing two other trees as well - one was diseased and the other was leaning towards the house. We have had several trees come down over the years due to storms. He gave me a quote for the 5 trees ($2800.00). However, I decided to wait until spring to see if any other trees needed to be removed. I called him in early May and he came out again - I asked about taking a 6th tree down because it was also leaning towards the house. He also noted that a maple in front of my house was having some problems as well and recommended trimming and fertilization (which I have had to do previously over the years).
One thing about the county I live in is that if you live within a 1000' feet of the water, you need to get a permit to remove the trees. I have gotten bids from tree services in the past some have told me I did not need a permit, when in fact I did. Richard raised the issue (I did not have to ask) and he took care of getting the permit (there is no cost). It took about a week to obtain.
I have a somewhat steep slope down the side of my house to get to my back yard. When his crew came they laid down matting to protect the grass - they use a sort of mini-lift to get the larger cut-up tree trunk parts out. (I used a service a couple of years go who did not use mats and they really tore up the lawn). I was surprised that they were able to remove all 6 trees in a day - they showed up on time and worked until they finished and did a good job cleaning up - even my neighbors were impressed!

Small jobs welcome

"Michael & Dad Landscaping was recommended to me by a good friend. From "Dad's" (Alex Rodrigues) initial mowing venture, we have been exceedingly pleased with the high quality of his performance. His mowing pattern was different than the pattern I had always used. And he varies it. We very much like it. I rank his performance with the trimming and edging of our lawn at the superior level. Finest I ever ever observed. His removal of leaves form our lawn and house gutters has been outstanding. Also, from a front garden, he expertly removed three large shrubs and prepared the soil for flower planting. In addition, a couple of spots in our lawn were in need of sodding. He accomplished that project with perfection. Alex maintains a multitude of lawn care equipment. He has a variety of lawn mowers, edgers, leaf blowers, rakes, hand tools, etc. He has a huge leaf vacuum collection truck plus additional heavy duty equipment carrying vehicles. When it comes to lawn care and maintenance, Alex is very versatile. He can do anything and everything. He always arrives at his scheduled time. His charges for projects are reasonable. If you are in need of a highly competent landscaper, we wholeheartedly recommend Alex and his Michael & Dad Landscaping company"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

Professionals use assessments, strategic cuts, specialized equipment, and safety measures to ensure healthy growth or the safe removal of trees or shrubs.

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.

It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.
