"Salamanca Tree and Landscaping Corp. are skilled professionals that I can highly recommend -- and already has. The crew was focused and efficient. I am VERY pleased with the job they did. It was fascinating to watch them dismantle gigantic trees so proficiently. They were quick, friendly and cleaned up so well that you'd never know they were there. They are experts at what they do. I shopped around and compared prices and can say with confidence that their rate was very reasonable. I'm glad they responded to my request."

"Francisco was very fast in his response to my initial query. He came right on time and did exactly what I asked - removed a dead tree from the pot and replanted with another plant, as well as a few other things around the yard. Very pleased."

"Carlos and his crew were fast and diligent. They took down three large oaks next to my house with care. They filled the holes without me having to ask and did a great job grinding the stumps. I have used a few other companies before through home advisor and they are certainly one of the best. Highly recommend"

"Excellent and efficient team. JC Trees came and gave an estimate and were ready to do the job the next Day. I had to wait til the next week because i was going out of town, but my job was done when I came back and within a week of me posting on Home Advisor. And, it was not an easy job - i wish I took a video. Iâ m still waiting for Urban Arborists to call me back to schedule an estimate appointment! Forget them. Go with JC Trees!"

"I had a roughly 50+ year-old 3 story tree that finally needed to be cut down due to termite and other possible insect infestation. We looked up Angie's List and L.A. Tree Expert responded to our need. They came a few days earlier to assess the situation and gave us an estimate. They told us how the gameplan would down, what to do and how to prepare. We were impressed by their manpower, equipment, and professionalism. On Sat, November 7, they showed up and started early and on time, and we were greatly impressed with the speed and accuracy of how they did their job without damaging any surrounding property. Keep in mind, my 3 story high tree was located in my backyard, so it was definitely not easy to get to, but they managed to get the job done and in a very timely fashioned manner. We thought this kind of work would take over 6 hours, but this company managed to complete their work in just about 4 1/2 hours, and also cleaned up after themselves. The price was very reasonable, communication was also very good, and they were honest from start to finish. Although I have nothing left for them to continue the use of their services, I would strongly recommend anyone to seek them out if you need tree pruning or tree removal. They do go by other different names such as L.A. Tree Service, but in either case, it was a pleasure finding a Licensed Tree Cutting Services company that is honest, won't rip you off on a quote (unlike other tree cutting companies I have contacted thruout the years) and knows how to get the job done without hassle."

"Freeport were the best of the 3 tree services I have hired in the past 15 years. Their price was 70% less than the highest competitor. They arrived on time. It was a difficult and delicate job as the hugh tree was touching the house. Last but not least Rene is a personable gentleman."

"LA Tree Service called me and came out to give an estimate the next day. They were quick, professional, and very reasonable. A crew of six men came to remove a very large tree from my backyard. They hauled everything out and cleaned up nicely. I would definitely use this company again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.

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.
