"Lino and his crew did an excellent job on my paver walkway and adjacent area. Everyone that walks by remarks how great it looks. They were very efficient and professional and worked very hard to complete the job. The price was very reasonable and less than several other estimates."

"Zach, came out during the week to draft an estimate and the work was on a Sunday 08-01-2021. They trimmed several trees, including the ones hanging over the power line. These two guys were very professional, the job may have taken them about 6 or 7 hours. They cleaned up the area and hailed the branches away. Their work was reasonably priced and my yard looks amazing. I will definitely be using them again!!"

"They are great workers but you can not communicate with them unless you speak Spanish. The English speaking boss finally came to be paid. He should have stayed to answer questions."

"I was very pleased with their service. Very timely, they cleaned up when the work was done, they did three jobs for me 1) 70-foot tree, they got that done in half a day. 2) Business job, cleaned up around 11 trees here... 3) Referenced to my neighbour, they removed 60+ feet trees. Did very well, good teamwork from the crew. They said what they were going to do. I would hire them again!"

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.

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.
