"Hired Hernandez for a full list: tree removal, stump grinding, hedge trimming, and staking two trees. These guys are the real deal. They showed up exactly when they said they would, which right there sets them apart. Communication was excellent start to finish, no chasing anyone down, no surprises. The crew was sharp, supervised, and clearly took pride in the work. Hedges came out perfectly precise, the tree removal and stump grinding were flawless, and the staked trees look great. On top of all that, they're genuinely good people and the pricing was more than fair for the quality of work we got. Reliable, professional, and truly excellent at what they do. If you need tree work done right, Hernandez is the call."

"Miguel and his crew did an excellent job. Miguel reviewed what we requested before starting work and made several suggestions. They pruned and trimmed several large trees. I was surprised by the amount of large branches and debris. When they were done there was nothing left on the lawn. I would highly recommend Miguel Tree Service."

"We were extremely happy with the work performed by H&M. Moises, Hector and crew were courteous and did whatever needed to please us. They did most of the renovation in our condo......painting, installation of bathroom cabinets, sink, installed tile floor, etc. They also installed vinyl flooring in our kitchen, living and dining rooms. They had a plumber replace our heating baseboard, I would highly recommend H&M if you want excellent work done!!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"Was putting up a fence and the back of property had been overgrown for years. I called Escobar Landscaping and Mario took a look. He gave a very reasonable quote to remove and clean-up the brush and vines. He showed up as scheduled with his crew, work was completed quickly and professionally. He was also able to trim the a tree in the area to keep it off the new fence..He made sure I was satisfied before breaking down the equipment. I would hire Escobar Landscaping again if the need arose. Actually after 30 years pushing around the mower this property I am thinking about letting Mario take over."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. 

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.
