"I used Martinez Tree Service many years ago when a massive 80 ft high Oak in my front yard began to die and was leaning toward my neighbor's home. Their work was extremely efficient, thorough, and amazing to watch as they climbed from one section to another like they lived in giant trees all their lives. Jose is the main climber and he was all over that tree, tying off large limbs, power sawing at seemingly impossible heights. When another large Oak in my backyard began to die a few years ago, becoming hollow inside and losing bark, I tried to find them online but did not save their name or contact information. I tried other companies, but the difficulty of the job scared all of them away (the tree was dead, hollow inside, up against a neighbor's stockade fence, very close to a decorative brick well and a 2 room workshop at the back of my property, and inaccessible by crane). Another landscaper recommended the Martinez brothers. They responded the next day, Ishmael Martinez met for an estimate the day after that, and were at the house with Jose ready to climb the next morning, bright and early. efficient, on time and extremely thorough. I would hire them in a heartbeat next time. This time, Iâ m saving their contact information in a special location"

"The crew arrived on time. They removed a massive tree limb that had fallen due to a storm. They then attacked the rest of the very large oak that the limb had fallen from. The total job was completed before I realized. The area where the tree and downed tree limb were located were cleaned up completely. I definitely recommend using Morales Tree Service. I will be using them again."

"I highly recommend Forever Green. Our enormous and beloved Oak tree died suddenly. Any fallen tree damage would have been catastrophic to my home as well as my neighbor's. It took tremendous precision and skill to remove this tree and nothing on either properties was harmed. Excellent service from beginning to end with care taken to every detail. Thank you Mike, Gary and the other gentleman that was here. Kind regards~"

"This is my second time with this tree company. For some reason didn't find them in Angie's list, but fortunately found their phone number in my phonebook (saved the last time). The estimate was a little bit cheaper comparing to others (I used 4 companies to get a truly transparent picture of what needs to be done and prevent upselling). Surprisingly to me, none of the companies tried to upsell; their recommendations were the same (up to some extend). At the end, decided to go with BJ's, mostly because of the prior positive experience. The work was done next business day after my call (they even offered same day services, but I was unable to accommodate). The work was done in less than 2 hours! Everything was cleaned after. I will definitely call BJ's next time when I need tree services. Highly recommend!"

"The absolute best team you can hire for your tree service. Took down 60+ year old tree on my front lawn, biggest in the neighborhood. Owner did all the cutting, crew was extremely careful and highly responsible about safety throughout every aspect of the job. Myself and my neighbors all commented about how clean the jobsite was, as if they were never even here, after each day's cleanup. 3 day job due to rain-owner extremely knowledgeable about working with high-voltage lines; crew was outstanding...They are the best to hire!!"

"This was absolutely the best experience I had with any Tree Service company. Manny, the owner could not have been more professional in doing the job. Everything, from the price to the removal of trees was absolutely perfect. MV Tree services went beyond my expectations. For example, on a couple of trees that Manny was trimming, I expected him only to trim a couple of branches. However, he did a lot more because he wanted the Trees to look good. That indicates that he takes pride in the work that he does. His crew were all polite and worked diligently to do the best job. Without a doubt, I would recommend MV tree services to anyone who needs good quality work. I’ve recommended Manny to myneighborwho was extremely pleased. I will require additional work later on and I will not shop around but use MV tree services. The experience was like having Family do the job for you. If you want a Tree Service that you can trust call MV Tree Service. You will not be disappointed. Manny is a true pro"

"Great Customer Service. Contacted me immediately and managed to come out the following day. Was on time, professional, did a great job taking down the tree and grinding down the stump. Very friendly. We asked for a second quote to take down some trees in the spring, and again he was prompt with this response to my request. I will absolutely use them again."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

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.
