I have several more trees that need to be treated. Be assured that BW Insect Control and Tree Care will be the ones that I will call. In my opinion, he is the best."

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to G Solis Tree Services for their outstanding professionalism and exceptional workmanship. A skilled crew of four completed an extensive project on my property in just three days. Their scope of work included the safe removal of seven massive trees and hauling away three previously felled trees. Additionally, they cleared my fence line and thoroughly removed all surrounding debris, leaving the workspace completely immaculate. Given the scale and high quality of the labor, their pricing was incredibly competitive and fair. The team's efficiency, organization, and dedication to safety were exemplary. I am immensely grateful for their top-tier service and look forward to partnering with them again for all future tree management needs."

"Fred was absolutely wonderful! I had a tree branch fall on my roof so I knew the entire tree needed to go. I called Fred, he provided an estimate the same day and we scheduled a date to get the work done. Fred showed up on time and completed the work in a timely manner with no surprises. I would 100% recommend Fred and would absolutely hire him again!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

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.

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

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.
