"Ricky was prompt in contacting me. Gave me a quote and was able to complete the job the same day. I needed 2 overgrown evergreen trees trimmed and a canopy raised. They did a great job and made sure I was satisfied and cleaned everything up before they left."

"We were very pleased with the work and service from WB Castellanos Tree Service. They know what they're doing! They got here when they said they would, went right to work and did what they said they would do. I can see why they have a 5-star rating. The work and service were both excellent and very efficient. They cleaned everything up nicely afterwards also. I would highly recommend this company."

"I was genuinely very impressed with the work done by Humberto Tree Service. Not only was he right on time for our scheduled appointment, but he also listened carefully and understood my vision. The work itself was completed very efficiently, and he made sure to leave the area clean and tidy afterwards. He really worked around my incredibly busy schedule, and honestly, I couldn't believe that they were able to take down five trees, each 40 feet tall, All in under eight hours. Absolutely amazing work, and I will definitely be hiring Humberto Tree Service again."

"We recently hired JM Concrete LLC to work on our patio, and we were thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. From the very beginning, they were prompt in responding to our inquiry, setting a positive tone for the entire project. They took extra care to protect our lawn during the construction by using boards, which demonstrated their attention to detail and respect for our property. The work was completed on time, and we found their pricing to be fair and transparent. We highly recommend JM Concrete LLC for anyone looking for quality and reliable service at a reasonable price.â"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.

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.
