"Excellent job by Sylvestre and his crew. I highly recommend if anyone is looking for tree trimming and/or tree removal services. They arrived on time, worked fast and efficiently, and cleaned up my driveway/walk way when done. Very neat and professional. Will definitely hire again."

"The team worked carefully and diligently to remove the oak, taking about 6 hours. Communication was excellent with the arborist who did the estimate as well as the crew upon arrival, during the job, and at completion. They left my yard and patio clean and their impact was minimal despite the bulk of the tree."

"Moises and team carried out great work pruning some large trees and removing some dead trees from our yard. Provided a timely and competitive quote and left the site extremely clean and tidy. Our neighbors saw the work and immediately hired Moises to do similar work in their yard. Strongly recommended."

"The owner was very knowledgeable and straight forward with his recommendations. He was quick to understand just what I wanted done. He and one worker worked fast and tirelessly to clear an untidy and increasingly unmanageable growing tangle of bushes/small trees from one side of the yard and several piles of limbs that I had trimmed off hedges over the past two years or that had fallen from one of our many trees. They completed the work in a short time and cleaned up all the debris, leaving the portions of the yard they worked on looking like new."

"Mauro was the first to call me when I posted the job. Came out same day to review the job and give me an estimate. He was lowest offer of four. He and his brother did a superb job, trimming several large limbs off big maple, trimmed back a dogwood and cut back a row of Leyland cypress trees that grow across my back yard. Everything was done perfectly and was thoroughly cleaned up and hauled away. Extremely pleased and will not hesitate to call him again for my next job. Highly recommend him for your job."

"Outstanding job all the way around! They responded to my request for a proposal to take down a 60 foot oak within minutes and quoted me a very good price with same day service. The crew was professional, courteous, efficient, and did great work safely and expeditiously. Very satisfied all the way around. Would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs large trees removed that are near structures."

"I've been using JL for 15 years and have had them do multiple tree removals, prunings of the trees overhanging the house and a couple of stump grindings. Steven (the arborist that covers my area) always does a walk through the property and I'm usually the one who wants more work done than he thinks is required so they definitely don't try to get you to do unnecessary work. I have been happy with all of the work and they always leave the work area clean afterwards."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.

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.

In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don’t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.

If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.

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.

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.
