"Very professional. I needed a bunch of trees trimmed. I Called on Monday, got an estimate on Wednesday and the job was done Friday. A crew of five came out with professional equipment, worked really hard in the heat and did a beautiful job. The also mulched and removed all branches and left the yard clean. I would definitely use again."

"I had three companies provide a quote for trimming five trees and the removal of a really large oak tree. All of the bids were fairly close. I picked Gregâ s company because Greg provides a lot more consultation than just trimming trees. Greg will be your arborist much in the same way you have a dentist or a barber. Glad I picked Greg, his crew did a fantastic job at my house. They have all of the tools, equipment and expertise for tackling any tree related project."

"I’ve worked with other tree companies and no one educated me about the trees and explained what scope of work needs to be done, except for Just Trees! Mark provides excellent communication and customer service. His crew does an exceptional job with tree trimming, tree removal, and tree planting."

"I called Luis after I received his information from Home Advisor, and he got right back to me. He was actually in the area on another job, and agreed to stop by to look at the job. He was right on time, and after seeing the job (which was taking down a tree in conjunction with a pool project) I received a fair bid -- and he was able to come back in the afternoon to do the job. His team was professional, efficient, and took away all debris. I plan to use his company for all my tree trimming and maintenance in the future. Finally, Luis put me in touch with an arborist he works with, who will support maintaining the health of all my trees."

"Brother’s landscaping did a fantastic job trimming HUGE trees in our yard and taking down an overgrown magnolia. They showed up on time, worked quickly (it was supposed to take two days) and cleaned up everything and took every single twig off the property and ground my tree well. While the owner was dumping a load the men took down some extra weeds in my yard. I will definitely use them again in the future."

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.

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.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Tree roots don’t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It’s a good idea to have repairs on any foundation cracks you’re concerned about.
