Customers say: Super punctual

"Just wanted to give a shout out to Oscar's Tree Service. Excellent customer service. They came for a free estimate within 24 hours, they began the work within 3 days. Their customer service representative called me the morning of the work day to confirm what time they expected to arrive and she called me again to tell me they were on their way. She was easy to reach when I had questions, very professional and friendly. We had a tree removed, and several large trees trimmed down. The work men were polite and professional. They got straight to work, checked with me that all was as I wanted and then cleaned up to perfection. Rates were reasonable also. I got a call afterwards asking if all was to my satisfaction. I would give them 6 stars if it was possible."

"A very professional organization from start to finish. They removed 24 very large and very tall pine trees from my cramped back yard in one day. Their price was well below all my five other estimates. They were meticulous in cleaning up after job completion. After they left, it was difficult to tell theyâ d ever been here - except for the missing 24 trees. Cardona Tree Service does business the way business used to be done: They do what they contract to do, they arrive on time, they clean up after the job, and they charge a fair price. I give Cardona Tree Service my highest possible recommendation."

"I've used A+ service twice now: first for the removal of a tree and grinding on the stump roots; next for trimming and pruning of two other tress on the property. The crew did both jobs flawlessly! They reviewed what I wanted before they began, worked incredibly fast, and cleaned up perfectly. They got much better results than what I originally thought possible. I had a hard time finding a company that would grind these large roots; A+ took it on and got rid of all of them. They did a fantastic job raising the canopy of a pear tree and re-shaping a myrtle that had gotten very tall and unruly. They're friendly and professional and they clearly wanted to ensure my satisfaction. Highly recommended."

"Mr. Beaver Tree Service did a professional job with a crew that knew what they were doing to protect a broken tree from falling on the home during the take down. The crane operator was experienced as well along with the Bobcat operator grabbing the sawed timber and limbs. Clean up was also involved leaving the yard neat. Yes, I would hire them again."

"We were beyond happy with the service provided by Lawn & Order and would use them again anytime. In fact, since the following job finished, we have recently had them back to discuss tree plantings for this fall. The owner Joe came out to walk the yard with me before he scheduled the job, to better understand what we needed done. He had suggestions when I sought them as to how to deal with various landscaping problems. He is very knowledgeable about landscaping for this area. The crew he sent spent 3 days at our home and did a wonderful, thorough job. They were quickly adaptable the two times I asked them to take out an additional small tree or bush that they had thought we wanted to keep. They were courteous and pleasant to talk to. Lawn & Order bills by the job, with the cost estimate broken down for each separate part of the work. I can't overestimate how massive our job was. They took out three full dump-trucks full of tree limbs and pruned material and did a fair amount of tree limb removal. Here is the cost estimate (and the final bill was exactly this amount): *Pruning of trees, bushes & removal of unwanted vegetation - 2500 *Debris removal / dump fees – 400 *Install pinestraw in front areas – 490 *Install shredded mulch in back around playset – 295 Project Total: 3,685 We are thrilled with how the yard looks. These folks are top notch."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.
