Customers say: True professional

"Absolutely the best guys and hardest workers. They worked the job to completion in 1 day that would have taken most 2 days if not longer. Very difficult 50 foot tree with branches intruding into 2 separate yards and over one neighbors large shop. They removed tree with precision not causing any damage. Cleaned up after themselves and hauled away everything. They were straightforward about price and I’m already planning another job with them. I’ve avoided this tree removal for years and I wish I found Martinez Tree Service years ago instead of the others that quoted high and provided less service. I look forward to working with them in the future. I highly recommend Martinez Tree Service"

"Marty is highly skilled. He and his crew provided excellent service removing some large trees that were dangerous to my home. They also removed some English Ivy from a Cedar, because Ivy kills trees. Reasonably priced too. Thank you."

"I had a pine tree that had large branches were growing over my shed and reaching over the edge of the roof of my house. There were times in the past, when the ice covering the branches, that the branches rested upon the power lines. There were two vertical trunks that were twisted upon each other. All of these branches and trunks were removed without harm to my facility and did not hit the power lines. The tree was completely removed and hauled away. Before they left, the clean up the area. Very professional"

"I couldn't truthfully rate on the "value" as it's an insurance claim from a neighbor's tree breaking and landing on one of my buildings. I haven't seen a bill but looking at the job they did I could probably give them a 5 rating. To the rest, the dad, Sam, was very friendly and helpful and always answered the phone or called me immediately back if I had to leave a message. The guys that came out were extremely kind and professional. Their clean up after was great. My yard looks better than before the tree hit."

"Matt and his company did through and quality work. We couldn't have been happier with the end result. He went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the work that was done. We had several bids and he was 1/3 of the cost the others were. But more importantly he stood behind the work he did and was a man of his word which is so hard to find. If you're struggling to find someone who is reliable and does quality work look no further. You won't be dissappointed"

"I can highly recommend J Plus Construction after the excellent work they did in transforming my wildly overgrown grass into a beautifully trimmed lawn surrounding my house. Two men worked tirelessly for approximately two hours and did everything I needed to be done with care and attention to my requests. I highly recommend this company."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

To maintain trees on a commercial property, perform regular pruning, monitor for diseases, and apply fertilization to promote healthy growth. It is also important to remove any hazardous branches to keep the trees healthy and prevent potential liability issues.

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.

Full decorating services often provide rental trees for their Christmas packages, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding one. However, individual interior decorators and others may not offer rented trees, so always check the specifics of their services before booking. Keep in mind that you’ll need to prepare the Christmas tree for pick-up shortly after the holidays.
