"The Alpha Services team did a fantastic job trimming our trees. Recently purchased house with two large oak trees and a tree with a awkward lean over a pool. Alpha Services cleaned them all up very nicely, and were extra careful bringing the limbs down near the pool. Hardly any debris ended up in the pool and nothing was dropped on the pool deck. Clean up was also great, and the team even cut up some of the wood for us to use as firewood. Highly recommend!"

"Christian and Lupe have a great family business. They did everything on time and exactly what they said they would do and we are very pleased with the job they completed for us. We had a difficult area to take out a couple of trees where they could not use all of their equipment but they did exactly what we wanted and cleaned up very thoroughly. We definitely recommend Martinez Tree and Lawn Service for tree work."

"We were amazed by the service we received from A&R Tree Service and Landscaping. Armando came out to discuss options and provide an estimate the morning after we spoke on the phone. His crew was out the same afternoon to remove a huge limb that had broken off our silver maple during the storm but was still in a dangerous position. The next day of good weather they returned to do trimming on three of our trees. Armando has a good knowledge of what is healthy and not healthy for a tree and also what can be done to try to reduce risk of property damage. His crew worked like a well-oiled machine. They had two climbers who were able to get into all the areas of our maples to trim things that other companies could not reach. They were obviously very experienced in roping off the large limbs and carefully lowering them to the ground, skillfully maneuvering them around our three power and phone lines. They cleaned up well, raking the entire area when they were done trimming. We look forward to using them again for any future tree and landscaping needs."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

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.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.
