"I just had the most positive experience with Jason and his crew from First Class Landscaping, Inc. In my opinion, they are "First Class". They removed four very large trees, two of which were in difficult areas, cleaned up as they went along and got the job done in two days. Cost was reasonable and the crew were all so polite and courteous. I would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to anyone. Thanks Jason!"

"Quick work. Cleared my yard of tree and bush debris plus cut a couple of invasive trees.. price was very reasonable. Best of all they were able to complete the job today. After I cleared a bunch of yard waste, I decided that I did not have the energy to cut pieces to size and bag the stuff. I got a quick phone call and within a couple o hours, my yard was respectful again. Definitely recommend."

"They did a fantastic job! Great communication from beginning to end. We had them trim several tree branches off our sheds and create a canopy. They also hedged our shrubs and cut out dead branches from a smaller tree. Site was left clean and tidy."

"Mijalisco Landscaping is very easy to work with, and the job was done in a timely manor. I did not have to wait weeks before the job was started. Did a great job on the cleanup as well. The quote included the tree limbs and cleanup which I thought were separate quotes. A very nice surprise. I will use them again, and I recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove tree stumps. Leaving them in the ground can lead to several problems, as they are not only unsightly but can also reduce your property's value. Stumps can obstruct landscaping plans, make mowing difficult, and hinder new growth. More importantly, they are prime breeding grounds for pests like termites, ants, and mice, which can spread to your home and cause costly damage to its wood and foundation. Stumps also attract fungi and diseases that can infect other healthy trees and plants in your yard. As a stump decays, it might sprout new, unwanted shoots. While removing a stump is an investment, it prevents these potential issues and enhances the safety, health, and appearance of your landscape.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

Not all evergreen conifers need to be pruned, but some do. Pruning pine trees is not necessary, but you can do so during June and July if you wish. On the other hand, spruce, firs, and junipers do need to be pruned from late winter to early spring.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

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.
