"Gonzalez Landscaping & Tree Care did an outstanding job and completed the job quickly. Recieved quote on Thursday and they worked Friday through Sunday to complete the job. I also had them powerwash the house. I'll use them again in the future."

"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."

"Excellent, efficient, personable and timely service. Moises took time and explained a better option to what I thought was needed (of course he was right). He along with his Luna crew quickly removed the offending tree branches, cleaned up and hauled away the debris. I am so pleased and give them a 5.0+ LUNA Tree & Landscape Svc rocks!"

"A few days ago, I checked “Angi” to find a tree service to remove 5 or 6 tall, spindly pine trees from my backyard. Ana from A & M Tree Service was the first to respond to my inquiry. She was very polite and offered to bring her crew by the next morning to give me an estimate. The crew arrived on time and seemed knowledgeable and experienced. Ana gave me a very reasonable quote. After reading the company’s positive online reviews and seeing their insurance paperwork, I hired them on the spot. I’m glad I did. I was very pleased with the work of A & M Tree and Landscaping Service. They were very careful at all times and, after taking down the designated trees, they removed all of the tree trunks and debris from my yard. (They had brought their wood chipper with them.) I could not be more pleased with the work of A & M Tree and Landscaping Service. I would definitely hire them again!"

"We hired this company for stump grinding and tree trimming, and the results were fantastic. The crew was efficient, friendly, and very knowledgeable about tree care. Our yard looks cleaner and more open now, and we couldn?t be happier with the overall service."

"This company responded right away to my request to have a substantial number of trees trimmed back including a large white oak. They worked with me to decide exactly what and where to trim including scaling practically to the very top of the white oak. All this for a very reasonable price. Mauro has an excellent eye as to where to cut. I trusted his judgement. They did a great job."

"It was a tie between Hometown and another contractor, and I chose the other one because that business was closer to my home. However, I was VERY impressed with Hometown's clear and prompt communication and responsiveness to my request for a bid, as well as their follow through as I made my decision. It was after I'd committed to the other one that learned more about the professional credentials of the Hometown arborist. I will definitely consider Hometown as a front runner the next time."

"The job went great! Prestige Tree Experts did a great job, they were on time, professional and courteous. They took extra time to explain the tree trimming process to me and addressed my concerns about some specific limbs that had grown over into a neighbor's yard. I am very pleased with the end result. I am especially impressed with the personal customer service from Prestige Tree Experts; you can tell they care about you as a customer from the first contact. They even follow up with you after the job is completed to make sure you are happy."

"We have used JL Tree Service twice to help us remove two large Bradford pears, one dying oak tree and do health pruning on our other trees that we want to keep in the yard and make sure they stay healthy. We requested a certified arborist and had a great experience with William. We left oak tree snug as a wildlife habitat and now we can watch all the woodpeckers going up and down the snug. They were very professional and efficient (we had 2 different teams) and our trees look so much better as a result and we are not worried during every storm anymore. We did all our work in February. They offer winter discount. I would highly recommend this company. We are planning to use them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

Professionals use assessments, strategic cuts, specialized equipment, and safety measures to ensure healthy growth or the safe removal of trees or shrubs.

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.
