"The most incredible people Iâ ve ever worked with. They were beyond professional. They tried so hard to please. They cleaned up extremely well when they were finished and made sure everything was performed for the customer. The price was more than reasonable. I would hire these people again and highly recommend them for your tree service."

"Mr. Montoya met me at my house, the project site to give me a quote on the day and time he said he would. We talked about which trees needed to be cut down and trimmed up. Leroy gave me a quote for all, we agreed to move forward with the project with a day and time of arrival. Mr. Montoya arrived at said time, did the work agreed upon, cleaned up as he went about, left with the downed trees and limbs. I couldn’t have been happier with the project. I am recommending Montoya Tree Service, Leroy Montoya. Very Professional."

"Cesar and his crew did an excellent job. We needed 4 fruit trees pruned. All the trees now look beautiful and healthy. The crew thoroughly cleaned up after the job and stacked up wood for us to use in the fireplace this winter. Highly recommend."

"These folks (2 men and 1 woman) took care of the tree limbs hanging over our house quickly and efficiently. Plus, they are nice people! Doing business with them was easy. They arrived a bit early and cleaned everything up when they were done. We will most definitely call on them again if we need more work done."

"Charles and Lorenzo are first-rate, knowledgeable, hard-working professionals. We will have them taking care of our landscaping needs from now on. Charles and Lorenzo were friendly, courteous, and above all professional and efficient. I was very impressed in that after the job had been completed they were more than happy to offer suggestions and advice on how to maintain and take care of minor concerns not associated with the original agreement - talk about establishing goodwill with their clients. Because of the above-mentioned and the overall excellent quality of the work, I will be using High Country Landscaping on a permanent basis."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unlike some fruit trees, such as apple, sweet cherry, or pear that require at least two trees for pollination, most peach trees are self-pollinating. This means you can plant just one tree and still expect it to produce fruit, typically within two to four years. For best results, consult with a local landscaper to choose the right peach tree variety for your specific climate, soil type, and yard layout.

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.
