"Martin and his crew were very professional, personable and for the job done exactly as we had asked. They cut down two very large palm trees, removed over 20 sago's and planted a triple trunk palm tree. We asked for advice on another part of the flower beds and Martin gave us a straight answer, which was not to spend money. We greatly appreciated his honesty and he was very easy to work with. Would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them. His crew, while cutting down one of the very large palm trees, discovered a hidden birds nest with three little babies in it. They placed the nest and babies in one our flower pots for safe keeping while they worked in the yard. We then moved the nest and babies to a nearby palm tree, to the relief of the adult birds. The crew could have easily put the birds in with the pile of dead plants and no one would have been the wiser. Definitely will be using them in the future."

"Cesar and his crew responded quickly and was able to do a short notice job for us. He arrived on time and after we discussed the small project, he was able to go right away! After grinding 3 small tree stumps, he asked if there was anything else he could do. He was able to trim some high branches away from our electric service lines. He offered suggestions for other landscaping items and asked that we call him for any future needs. I am very pleased with his services and highly recommend them to anyone needing tree and shrubbery maintenance!"

"I met Jose Mora about three years ago. He told me that he was a tree trimmer, and I asked him to come give me a quote. I have a dozen trees and every year or two I get them trimmed. His price was extremely competitive and I have used him ever since. H is a great guy and does very professional work. I highly recommend him."

"The quick response and total professionalism was outstanding. My yard certainly had a few obstacles, but Gil, Raphael, and Jose were detailed and diligent in the installation. And I've been exceedingly happy about the follow up communication. I was totally happy, and look forward to our next project. Thank you."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

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.
