"Work was exceptional. Ron Stevens provided a detailed estimate within my budget. Ron dispatched a crew with Alfie being the supervisor. Over the course of six days, all grass in front and back yards was removed, area leveled, and replacement St Augustine grass was provided. Mature eagleston holly trees were provided in conjunction with miscellaneous shrubs and flowers. The color combination was very attractive. The installing crew was very knowledgeable and performed their work with care and professionalism. All areas were cleaned at the end of the work day. The crew was accommodating to minor changes regarding selection of plants. A sprinkler system was provided in all areas. I rate the quality of workmanship as A+. I would highly recommend Ron and his crew for any future work and I personally would definitely use them regarding any future work at my residence. I was very pleased with the end product."

"Randy and his team did a great job completely rehabbing my front yard. I needed to regrade and resod my front yard after having 2 old oak trees removed. His team was able to completely regrade (including getting the existing tree grinded down further to make the grade work properly. They also were able to get my sprinkler system back up and running. I would use them again for any landscaping needs"

"Tree Care Professionals arrived in under 24 hours after contacting them to provide a quote for the service. We found them to be well priced for the work when compared to other quotes we received. The service was great on the scheduled day. We were contacted and informed of the arrival time. The crew arrived on time, and they were all very professional about getting the job done. They took great care to ensure they didn't damage the surrounding area, and they cleaned it all up very well after they were done. I would highly recommend them for their service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

Sudden oak death and oak wilt are different diseases. Oak wilt first shows up in tree leaves while sudden oak death affects the branches and trunk. However, as symptoms in both can overlap, it’s best to consult a professional arborist tree expert for a proper diagnosis and development of a treatment plan.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.
