"I sent an e-mail requesting an estimate and I received a quick reply from Trevor.   I agreed to the rate and we scheduled a service date.   He contacted me to confirm the appointment.   He called before they arrived and split and stacked one large pile beautifully.   The pieces are consistent size and will be easy to light.   I would provide a picture but this site doesn't have that option.  During the first day of work I received a call saying that the second pile wasn't accessible due to the overgrown brush (which was taller than I expected) and they provided a very fair price to clear the brush and split the second large pile.   They did just as good a job on the second pile - and I'm absolutely satisfied with the whole service.  I won't need wood for several years, but I hope to use Lucky Strike again.

"Josh and his crew did an exceptional job. I hired him to remove 9 trees in my yard to clear way for a pool installation. Additionally they removed approximately 300' of chain link fence. They were timely in starting the work. Arrived at the time we agreed to. The crew was respectful and friendly. They did a great job cleaning up after their work was complete. I have already asked Josh for a quote for some additional work I would like to have done now and will definitely be using in the future. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to have tree work done at an excellent price!"

"Blue Leaf absolutely knocked it out of the park. From start to finish- they were incredibly courteous and absolutely professional. Their communication is as top notch as their lawn care service. I already can’t wait for my next cut in two weeks. Thank you again, guys!"

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring Medinas company to install sod, put down mulch, and trim trees, and I must say, it was an excellent experience. From the moment they arrived, the team displayed a high level of professionalism. They were punctual, well-prepared, and had all the necessary equipment and materials for the job. Their attention to detail was impressive, and it was clear that they took pride in their work. Not only did they complete the project in a timely manner, but they also maintained a clean and organized work area throughout the process. They worked efficiently without compromising the quality of their work, and the end result was fantastic. One aspect that particularly impressed me was their pricing. The landscaping company provided a fair and competitive quote, and there were no hidden fees or surprises along the way. They were transparent about the costs from the beginning, which made the entire experience stress-free. I would wholeheartedly recommend this landscaping company to anyone looking for professional and reliable landscaping services. Their commitment to excellence, timely completion of the job, and fair pricing make them a top choice. I am extremely satisfied with their work and would not hesitate to hire them again in the future."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.

It may not be worth it to rake every leaf in your yard, but it’s necessary to remove the majority of leaves to prevent them from smothering grass growth on your lawn. However, raking leaves isn’t your only option for leaf removal. You can remove leaves easily with a leaf blower or compost or mulch them with your lawn mower to repurpose them to help grow your garden or yard.
