"Foster's Tree & Landscaping was very professional during the process of removing 2 huge oak trees and a pecan tree. Roy and his team were easy to work with and kept me informed throughout the whole process. Their prices were fair and work was completed in a timely manner. My yard was left in great shape. I highly recommend Foster's Tree & Landscaping for all tree and landscaping needs."

"I felt like Thomas Potts did a great job grinding the stumps of two trees that had recently been cut down. He was friendly, professional, and timely. Mr. Potts communicated well prior to arriving so we knew when precisely when he would arrive, etc. The job was done efficiently and Mr. Potts chhecked on several occasions to make sure we were happy with the results along the way. The price was also very reasonable for the work done. I wouls defintely hire him again if needed."

"We couldnâ  t be happier with Ortiz Tree Service! Their estimating process was fast, easy, and fair priced and they scheduled the needed services quickly. The seven-person crew worked together with great coordination and made their work look fun. Jose, the climber, was highly skilled and a joy to watch as he climbed and cut tall trees like he was a high wire artist! Finally, when they completed their work, they cleaned our yard beautifully and left no obvious signs they had been thereâ ¦.other than their excellent work. I highly recommend Ortiz Tree Service!!"

"Molina'a Tree Service did a thorough job with great cleanup afterwards. They were well equipped and skilled to do everything I needed, from taking down a big oak tree without touching a nearby shed to trimming healthy trees where their branches came too close to the house. They were responsive, courteous and quick. Well done."

"I’ve been a repeat customer of Acevado's Tree Experts ever since a coworker referred me. My yard has limited access, so they’ve had to climb the trees by hand, and they still get the job done perfectly every time. Their prices are fair, estimates are free, and they always leave the yard clean. Jose and his crew are hardworking and reliable. I highly recommend giving Jose a call."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it’s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it’s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.

How often and long you should water a tree depends on the species and if it is mature or newly planted. The amount of water is also based on the tree's size. A good rule of thumb is approximately 5 gallons per inch of the trunk's diameter.

Adjusting watering to the recommended suggestions for the tree type and weather conditions is vital. For instance, watering trees during a drought is necessary, and you may need to water more frequently than usual.
