"Its hard to find a small tree company that you can trust and does quality work, however Darin did an excellent job on my trees. Compared to other companies I've used, I received a cheaper price with the same if not better quality of work."

"I used A&R for a good sized tree trimming project at my house. I needed climbers in an area that was not easy to access with heavy equipment. Armando and his crew were responsive, respectful of my property and the surrounding structures. They were on time and on budget. They cleaned up after the work was done, and did an excellent job with what I needed done. I would 100% use them again! Armando was professional, and you could tell he takes pride in his work."

"They removed a huge oak that was looming near our house, making a surgical cut that preserved the viable part of the tree and protected neighboring trees that would have been destroyed if the oak had fallen. They also removed a smaller tree that was dying. They repaired dents in the yard and raked up all the debris. The team was efficient, courteous, and well-equipped--one of the hardest working crews we have employed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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

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.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

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.
