"George and his crew were on time and did a great job. When they left the yard looked the same as it was when they got there. They were about 70 feet tall and crew a great job. Would hire them again in a heartbeat and will again this fall for my Bradford tree in front yard."

"I was expecting something like prior tree service people, whoever sells the job, rarely if ever work the job. The owner works the job along with three helpers. They far exceeded my expectations and all other tree people I have used over the years. He has the lift truck which makes things safer than tree climbing and his helpers were the best trained and industrious workers I have ever seen. I will always use JB Tree Service in the future. He just made a very happy customer."

"I was impressed with this professional tree service. We had a large tree removed and a few others trimmed. The quote was surprisingly low and the service was great. Thank you to Axel and the team for fast and clean work. Would definitely recommend and hire again."

"Cotter tree did an excellent job removing a very large river birch from our front yard. When they finished, they cleaned up and handled the stump grinding well. They worked fast, and had a lot of knowledge about removing trees and tree care in general. I would definitely hire them again and recommend come then to friends and neighbors."

"I would hire Alfonso's company again without hesitation. As a woman and single parent, the majority of workers I hire have been disrespectful and condescending, and on top of that do not do a good job. Not so with Alfonso and his crew. Hernandez Tree Service was accommodating for my schedule, punctual, and experts in tree removal. I had two dead trees, a fallen large tree and another leaning against a sapling, ready to fall into the neighbors privacy fence. It was a tricky and dangerous job. There were two medium size live trees to cut also, that they cut the trunk so close to the ground, thankfully, that I will not need the stump removed nor can one see the stumps. They did excellent cleanup when done. I highly recommend this company."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

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.

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.
