"Eric did a great job with the tree removal at my home… I have actually had him come back a few times for multiple jobs. He was very professional and provided top quality service. Quick to come by and quote the job, and fit me in his schedule pretty quickly! I would recommend him to anyone needing quality tree service!"

"I was called by this company only minutes after putting the job on Angie's list. Shawn offered to come out the same day to give an estimate on a tree we needed removed. He was there within the short time frame he promised. Once they started the tree removal, I was highly impressed with the work ethic. Neither of them stopped until the job was done. It took two days to complete because it was a large tree, only two men, and the weather was less than optimal, but they were both there on time and ready to work. To me they appeared superhuman from the amount of hard, heavy, laborious work they were able to complete so quickly and safely. Will recommend them to everyone I come across that needs any tree work and will definitely call them for myself if any work needs done in the future."

"Ernie quoted our job along with 3 others. He was the first to contact us and quickly came up with a number. We were out of town at the time but scheduled anyways because all my questions were answered in a professional manner. They arrived on time and proceeded to remove 15 trees and grind the stumps. They were very careful and respectful of our neighbors property. The cleanup was amazing and we will recommend these guys to anyone who needs a reliable and caring tree service.. ...Thanks Ernie"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.

You’ll want to have your palm trees trimmed during the spring, ideally in May, before hurricane season sets in, which generally takes place during the late summer. Palm trees grow fastest over the summer months. You’ll also want to trim your palm trees when you notice:

  • Brown fronds 

  • Dry leaves

  • Flower pods

  • Fruit

  • Fronds overgrown in power lines

  • Frond encroaching upon your neighbor’s home or yard 

  • Visible damage from a storm

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.
