"Excellent work! This family-owned company did a beautiful job xeriscaping my large front yard. They pruned trees and bushes as well as laying mulch, stones and gravel. I have happily recommended this company to friends and family."

"Arborist was very knowledgeable. Price was excellent. Service was good they could teach the rest of the service industry how to really provide â Serviceâ and they could charge a fee! (We all know about customer No service.) Top notch service and I HIGHLY recommend them! (And NO, this is NOT a paid recommendation.)"

"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!!"

"We had a great experience with our Oasis. I didn’t really know where to start with the yard, but he was incredibly helpful in coming up with a plan that made everything feel manageable and looked great. He really listened to my feedback and was happy to adjust things along the way, which I appreciated. He was also very fair with pricing, very responsive whenever I had questions, and able to come out quickly to get the work started. The whole process felt easy and straightforward thanks to his communication and professionalism. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful landscaping work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

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.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.
