"I had tree branches blocking my internet signal. The crew was very professional and very thorough in every aspect of the tree trimming and removal. And they were fast. I will hire them again in my plans to remove additional trees from my property. I recommend their tree service."

"I looked at several tree services that gave me overly complicated explanations of the job and really high quotes. We needed two medium size trees removed (one dead and one too close to the house). Oscar's tree service was efficient, quick, and did so at a great price. They made sure I was happy with everything and did a thorough clean up job including grinding the stumps. I highly recommend their company and plan to only use them in the future. Working with Oscar and his team was a great experience."

"The office staff is friendly and responsive. The estimator showed up as scheduled and texted prior to arrival. The crew of 5 arrived on time on the day of service. They are a skilled and polite team who pruned the large branches, directing them so there was no damage to the surrounding plants. They cleaned up completely. This is our 2nd service with A+. Last year they felled a diseased tree on our property line that other companies were hesitant to touch. Great competent service. Highly recommend"

"Luis and his team did a great job removing multiple large trees and trimming large branches in my yard. They were professional, efficient and communicated clearly throughout the process. Everything was cleaned up nicely and I’m very happy with the outcome of the job. I would definitely recommend Advanced Tree Pros and Landscape to anyone looking for a professional lawn care team!"

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
