"I can’t recommend Juan Pablo and his team enough. I don't think I've said "I'm so impressed!" this many times in one day. First, I'll mention the things people tend care about the most. When I called Juan Pablo for an estimate shortly after the wind storm, he responded the same day and was able to come by the next morning. We needed a large Arizona ash, a large hackberry and a medium cedar tree cut down. The ash hung over our neighbor’s property and over our house. The hackberry hung over our back fence. Both of these things made the job more difficult. Juan Pablo provided a clear written estimate the same day. We contracted with him on Tuesday evening, and he confirmed right away for Thursday the same week. Juan Pablo and his team arrived at 8am that day and immediately got to work. They were courteous, professional, and organized. He initially expected the job would take two days, which was reasonable given the size of the trees. Juan Pablo and his team worked nonstop and got the job done in under 8 hours. You can’t even tell his team was here other than the missing trees and some saw dust around the tiny tree stumps left. JP’s Trees Service was the most affordable of the six companies we called for an estimate. Now for the things other people may not care about but are worth mentioning. Watching Juan Pablo work, he is truly a craftsman. The skill and precision with which he worked was beyond impressive. He was also clearly committed to maintaining his safety and that of his team. Everyone wore chainsaw safety clothing, he practiced roping and harness skills that would put many rockclimbers to shame, and was clearly vigilant about spotting where each branch would fall. This may not be a big priority for some people. But I would much rather give my money to someone who runs a responsible operation and looks out for his employees’ safety. We went with Juan Pablo because we liked him and his honest assessment of our trees. The fact that his estimate was the lowest was just a plus. Frankly, I would have paid more for the quality of work done. We will be calling him for any future needs and will happily pay more if he chooses to increase his prices. Also, I'm not sure what the reviewer from 5/2021 is talking about with regards to Juan Pablo's English. I speak fluent Spanish and have no problem switching to Spanish if it's clear English is difficult for the other person. My husband only speaks English. We both had multiple conversations with Juan Pablo in English without any confusion or difficulty whatsoever."

"I hired Joshua with Box Tree Care to cut down trees that fell May 9th and trim up other trees / branches. He responded immediately, is courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, arrives on time, very prompt and his crew goes out of their way to make sure a great job is done, even if Joshua has to leave for a minute. They went around picking up odd branches without being told or asked. They cleaned up and hauled everything off. Very fast workers. I highly recommend Joshua for your arborist needs. He and his team are great!!"

"I really liked the communication and caring for customer. The crew showed up on time, they called me to make sure we are aligned with expectations, and got the job done really fast. The first session was a little pricy but it was what we agreed on and there were more work than usual for the lawn. I highly recommend their business and will be using their service moving forward."

"Brendan and his team were great! They helped us level and install a pad for a shed, and they also helped assemble the shed. They ended up making the pad a little bigger to better fit the space, which I really appreciate!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It is good to spray water on a Christmas tree to help keep the needles hydrated. Spraying a Christmas tree with water prevents dryness, stops needles from falling off, and reduces the risk of fire.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.
