"Very reasonable quote for the job. Crew came on time and cut down 3 large trees - one pine and 2 oak - all were dead. In 2-1/2 hrs they were done and completely cleaned up like they had never been there! They also split the 2 oaks into firewood and stacked them! Very professional and will definitely recommend to anyone who needs tree removal. Will definitely use again!"

"Hired Mendoza Trimming to straighten a tree, apply mulch, replace rose bushes and trim some overgrown bushes. Had to be flexible on which day work was completed, but once that day came, he had a team of five or six workers show up and perform the work. They did FANTASTIC job. Cleared all leaves before applying new mulch, trimmed bushes to the size I asked, put roses in as I asked, took away all the debris, and the property looks great. Price was higher than I originally expected, but after seeing the crew and work, felt that I got a great value. Sorry for night photos, that's all I could take while submitting this review tonight."

"It's not often that someone truly impresses me, but this young man did exactly that. From the very beginning, his professionalism, communication, and business sense stood out. He carries himself with a level of maturity well beyond his years. His crew did an outstanding job trimming my trees and left my property spotless when they were finished. The cleanup was just as impressive as the work itself, and he kept me informed throughout the entire process. I've been in sales for over 10 years and have worked alongside many seasoned professionals, yet I've met very few who demonstrate the level of professionalism, follow-through, and customer service that he does. He has an incredibly bright future ahead of him. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work, excellent communication, and someone who truly takes pride in what they do."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

Yes, carefully prune back dead branches—don’t wait for pruning season. This helps keep your maple tree healthy and also helps prevent large branches from falling unexpectedly. Don’t seal the cut branch—trees can naturally take care of these wounds—but be sure to remove any source of fungus or pest infestation to help save the tree.

Trimming your palm trees once or twice per year keeps them healthy and robust. Caring for palm trees includes cutting off brown leaves to prevent wildfires and pathway obstruction. However, you don’t want to over-trim the palm tree. Cutting too many branches off will weaken the tree and prevent future growth. And it’s essential to have a strong, healthy palm tree during hurricane season to prevent safety risks or property damage.
