"The staff were professional, quick to respond to my ad, and kept me up to date on the work progress by text pictures. I was working the day they completed the work at my home. Excellent work on the trees trimming, removal of brushes and mulching of the yard area and flower bed. The best part is they haul away all the tree trimming and bushes! I would hire the company again for future jobs."

"Great. I had trees bring down a gate and fence. Jose and crew removed the trees and vines that came down with trees, including poison ivy. Jose had a company in to replace the fence the same day. Looking out for me and my dog. Don't want to praise him too much, because I want him back to do more work and afraid he will have too many people seeking his service. However, I can not afford to hire full time, so I have to share Jose and Crew with others. You can't go wrong by hiring Jose's Tree Service and estimates are reasonable."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.

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.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
