"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."

"Had two big trees in my yard with one that was leaning towards my house, they gave me a very reasonable price to do the job compared to the other two companies I had come out to price it out. I was very impressed with their communication and how nice they were in person. After the job was done there was no damage done to my house. Would definitely recommend them to anyone else wanting a local small time company to do work."

"Roman’s team did a beautiful job with the paver patio and sod installation. It was transformational! He accommodated all our requests, such as adding compost in my garden bed and adding a cement small slab for a pizza oven. Would definitely recommend for any landscaping needs."

"Absolutely Wonderful Experience from start to finish. Gabriel came out and gave a quote almost immediately. Our landscaping was extremely difficult with a huge amount of weeds, dead plants and tree, and junk. It looked like a forest! In just a few days, Gabriel and his team did what I thought was impossible, and cleared out years of rubbish (weeds, dead trees, dead tree parts, etc...) The place looks clean and spectacular! They were also very careful of anything everything on the property, and they were Extremely reasonably priced! Gabriel and the team were also very friendly, honest and kind. I can only gibe the highest recommendation, and I could not be happier with their work."

"They removed a very large Ash tree that was located in difficult place between two garages. The crew was very efficient and had all the necessary equipment to work over and around the garages. It took them all day, but after cleaning up it was like the tree was never there."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

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.

Ivy eventually kills trees by restricting its growth, blocking sunlight, absorbing nutrients and water from the soil, and weakening the tree. Trees with ivy are more likely to experience diseases, pests, rot, and fungi growth. When ivy weighs down tree branches, the tree is more likely to break during a storm and cause damage.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.
