"From the beginning, I received a prompt return phone call and I explained the work I needed done and the work was scheduled for the following day. Mauro was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and honest, which meant a lot to me! The job was to remove a large maple tree branch that had broken off and was dangerously dangling high in the big tree. The work was done quickly and safely and the price was very reasonable. I felt so much better when that problem was taken care of! Would definitely use J & A Tree & Landscaping again! They are licensed, insured, and give free estimates. Give them a tryâ ¦"

"Excellent team of three gentlemen handled our tree & stump removal! They responded to the request for quote same day and finished the project quickly. They even took the time to diligently clean up, including air-blowing my porch. Will hire again for future work!"

"The Tree Care Service is hands-down the best in the business! From the moment I called and described the work I needed, Ulises was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. He arrived promptly, assessed the situation, and his team jumped into action without hesitation. They tackled a massive job—removing two large mature trees, 15–20 smaller ones, hauling away 15 bags of debris, and grinding down all the stumps and roots. I was bracing for a bill well over $5,000, but the final cost was significantly less! The customer service was OUTSTANDING, and the quality of work was top-notch. Ulises and his crew exceeded every expectation. If you need anything tree-related, do yourself a favor and call The Tree Care Service. Highly recommended!"

"Jorge and his crew did a fantastic job cutting large dead trees in my yard. He was very comprehensive and is very knowledgeable about everything tree related.

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.

If you’re wondering why tree trunks are painted white in your area, it’s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it’s something that affects your trees.

It may be possible, but transplanting a large, mature tree can be a tricky project, and some trees handle it better than others. If you have a tree you need to save and are considering transplanting it elsewhere, we highly suggest calling a tree removal service and arranging a consultation to see what they say (and how much a full transplant would cost).

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.
