"Eric was great to work with. He showed up at the times he said he would. The work was performed promptly, scheduling was easy (from the time we spoke about the project to the time work started was within one week), the project was completed on schedule. The quality of work was great. If I need further landscaping etc I would definitely call Vargus Tree Service & Maintenance first!"

"Really good company. Friendly and professional crew. We use them every year to trim a couple large fast growing trees in our yard. Good pricing. They walk through the job with me, and even ask during to verify which large branches I want cut. They made sure to keep me informed throughout the process and cleaned up perfectly on the way out. I’ll keep using them."

On 2/10/16, I called this landscaper to have my 7 palm trees trimmed. The day before, I received a notice from my landlord informing me that I had 5 days to get the dead fronds removed. I pulled up Angie’s List and read the reviews of 4 or 5 A-rated landscapers. The first few I checked out had a closing time of 4pm (it was after 4 when I got the notice from the landlord), so when I checked out Land View Landscape I was happy that they were open until 5pm.

When I called and explained my circumstances, the secretary said that they would be able to send out someone the next day and that the work would be done within the next 5 days. When the rep. came on 2/11, he quoted me a cost of $40 per tree (in my estimation an excellent bargain, given the height of the trees and the number of fronds that had to be removed). The rep. told me that he would try to get someone out to do the job on 2/12, but that if he couldn’t he would have someone do it within the time frame I was working with.

As it turned out, the workers were able to come over on 2/12, just two days after I hired them! I thought it would be at least a week before I could get someone to trim the trees. It took only 50 minutes for one guy to trim all 7 trees and he and his buddy on the ground did an excellent job, including cleaning up and hauling away a truck load of fronds. Thank you very much Land View Landscape for doing such an excellent job and for giving us the peace of mind of doing it within a very tight time frame.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.
