"My neighbor pointed out to me on the weekend that the pine tree in my back yard was leaning precariously toward my house. When I looked I could also see that the roots on the back side of the tree were up and out of the ground. I called Tree Images on Sunday. Eric and I spoke several times, He called back later in the day and assured me someone would be out Monday between 8am and 8:30 am to look at the tree and if I accepted the estimate they would come that afternoon and remove it. Monday morning Tony showed up exactly on time. He confirmed the tree was a problem and gave me an estimate which I accepted. 3 hours later the crew arrived to remove the tree. They hauled everything away and cleaned up after themselves. This experience was amazing! I felt it was an emergency, but I also knew we now had a "Stay at home" order. Eric couldn't have been more responsive, helpful, reassuring and professional! He assured me that Tony and the crew would work carefully and abide by the state restrictions. Everything was done just as he had said. I am truly grateful for their work and especially respect that they were willing to do the work under the current circumstances. I applaud Tree Images for an exceptional experience. Thank you so much!"

"Mr. Hernandez replied immediately to my inquiry. He arranged to meet me onsite within one day. He considered the project, which included removing several large trees, made recommendations, and gave me a fair estimate of the job. After we made a contract, he and his team began the work the same week and finished in three days. His service includes removal of wood and debris. He is very personable and aims to please the customer. I definitely recommend Hernandez Tree Service LLC."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. 

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

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.
