"We have used Carlos and Elite Arborist for years now. Our back yard holds one big beautiful life oak. Elite Arborist grooms and protects this tree. They go above and beyond to make our entire experience wonderful. Professional and polite, they work from the ground and from up in the tree, carefully removing only what is needed to make our tree healthy and able to handle strong storms and icy winters. They clean the yard when complete, taking and mulching all debris. We will continue to use them every time such work is needed and highly recommend Elite Arborist."

"Shawn came out and gave us a quote then we hired them for next day service. The trees were trimmed along the roof line and they were done around three hours. Perfect. The crew came in a couple times to make sure everything looked OK and did touchups as we asked. No fuss, great job cleaned up all the trimmed branches as well! Totally recommend!"

"Best tree service we have had. Torres worked with us in rescheduling around the many storms. They did great work and cleanup (including chipper/shredder). Complete job on one large and two small trees took less than 2 hours. Torres constantly communicated with us, and checked to see if we approved of steps being done."

"We hired Campos Tree Service to cut down, remove and grind the stumps of dead mature Oak Trees. We have a very wooded lot with approximately 200 post oaks, red oaks, burr oaks and elm. 15 trees in all needed to be cut down, hauled away and the stumps ground. Campos Tree Service also performed maintenance work on by cutting any dead branches off every tree on our property. I highly recommend Mr. Campos and his company. His team of workers arrived at 7AM every morning and worked hard throughout the day. Mr. Campos did everything he said he would do. When the job was finished Mr. Campos and I walked the property and discussed the work he had performed for us. The overall clean-up was better than expected. We are very glad to have hired Mr. Campos. His price quoted on the bid was the final price. Our property looks very good now with the work he did for us. We highly recommend Campos Tree Service.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.
