"I had several overgrown shrubs in a plant bed to remove from the end of my driveway. I requested quotes from a variety of local businesses. Leo made a point to come to my house and discuss in person. Within 5 minutes we agreed on a price to cut down the shrubs, clear out some smaller bushes, grind all the stumps, add some fresh fill, seed and straw. Fantastic value for the money. He and his team did a great job, worked quickly, and cleaned up nicely when done. I would highly recommend Leo's Landscaping."

"I hired Pacheco Maintenance to trim several dead branches from my Aspen tree. I was so pleased with what a fantastic job they did with trimming the tree, I also had them trim the bushes all all around my house as well as removal of weeds. They cleaned up nicely after they were done. I’m very happy I hired them! They were professional, worked quickly and reasonably priced. I’ll be hiring them again for the winter season for snow removal. I would highly recommend Pacheosanchez Maintence!! Thank you Alex and your crew. I’m very happy with the work you did for me!"

"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"Exceeding their customer's expectations was their # 1 goal. Very efficient work, a challenge to take down two trees next to some power lines. Lots of engineering involved. Clean up was outstanding. They even cleaned the roof of m neighbor's garage! Calling them back for some additional work!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.

Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter—between February and March. That’s because it’s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.
