"Ruben's Tree Service did a perfect job of trimming the ivy from the brick on our house. We needed some of the ivy trimmed for painting, but we didn't want complete removal of the vines. He and his team were able to complete the job exactly as specified. The job was done quickly and so neatly--all of the left over clippings were hauled away. Will definitely hire again."

"The owner, Mr. McKown, has an awesome personality, offers fair in estimates and pricing, and does tree removal and stump grinding with great speed. I highly recommend. Trust my rating as I am very critical of services and rarely award 5 stars to anyone."

"Trae and his team were AMAZING! We chose him solely on his energy and knowledge for what our project entailed. We previously hired a landscaper that didn’t do the job we expected, but came across this company and we’re BLOWN AWAY! I HIGHLY recommend Trae and team to do any small or large project around your house and for your landscaping. I’m still in shock by what he did! Thank you!!!"

"Andrew and his crew were thorough, professional, and truly worked with us to ensure we were able to have our vision for our back yard turn into a reality. They transformed our back yard from a barren, dirt plot of land into a private oasis. Andrew was always prompt and responsive to any questions we had throughout the project, and his crew would often stay until dark to complete the work. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for reliable, trustworthy, and expert service!"

"Very satisfied with A's! I live in Elmont, and was looking for estimates to remove 7 very large trees, a few smaller trees, grind the stumps on all but 2 of them, and was given a very reasonable price for the work. I scheduled the work about a week in advance, and on the scheduled day, the 6-person crew showed up and got busy right away. It took about 6 hours for them to complete the job, and when they were done, the trees and stumps were gone, the property was adequately cleaned up, as was the debris in the street. I should also mention that 2 of the large trees were not easily accessible, but A's brought them down with precision, even while working in tight quarters. I really can not thank and compliment A's enough for a job well done, and do highly recommend them for any tree work you may have."

"They were very professional and they did a good job in cutting down the tree. They did a good job in taking down the limbs and the stumps. They cleaned up the yard after they finished. I would recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.
