Capabilities & Services
- Create an attractive specimen tree that you can be proud of.
- Create a safer tree by reducing end weight and overly long branches.
- Remove cross-over and hazardous branches.
Common Arboriculture Work Descriptions:
- Crown Cleaning - Removes unwanted dead or dying branches.
- Crown Reduction - trees growing above their desired height.
- Crown Restoration - repairs improperly trimmed branches.
- Crown Raising - so people and vehicles can safely pass by.
- Crown Thinning - to evenly thin or lace-out the interior to provide a wispy look.
- Crown Shaping - crops back awkwardly growing "wild" branches
to achieve a more symmetrical shape.
We do not advise Pollarding, or Poodle Trimming!
Please Note:
- All trimming is done in compliance with Arboriculture Standards
using ANSI 300 Standards. - All Tree Work is bid by a Certified Arborist

Standards
The ANSI A300-1995 standard has been drafted to address pruning specification requirements across all geographic areas. This standard was adopted so that Arborists and managers who put plant maintenance contracts out to bid can develop accurate pruning specifications, following the accepted tree care industry practices. The ANSI A300-1995 pruning types are:
- Crown Cleaning: Crown Cleaning shall consist of selective removal of one or more of the following items: dead, dying, diseased, weak branches and waterspouts from a tree's crown. Remove broken and crossing branches.
- Crown Thinning: Crown Thinning shall consist of selective removal of branches to increase light penetration, air movement, and reduce weight.
- Crown Reduction: (Crown Shaping) Crown Reduction reduces the top, sides, or individual limbs by means of removal of the leader or longest portion of a limb to a lateral no less that one-third of the total diameter of the original limb removing no more than 25% of the leaf surface. (The ability of a species to withstand this type of pruning must be considered.)
- Vista Pruning: Vista Pruning is selective thinning of framework limbs or specific areas of the crown to allow a specific view of an object from a predetermined point.
- Crown Restoration: Crown Restoration pruning should improve the structure,
form, and appearance of trees that have been severely headed, vandalized,
or storm damaged.
Topping a tree is never recommended! Crown Reduction, done properly, can achieve a similar goal and not ruin the integrity of the tree. Even the word "Topping" is frowned upon in the professional field. The terms defined above are the accepted terms generally used by arborists and the entire arboriculture field.
Key Benefits
- Unsightly stumps disappear - Quickly!
- Eliminates potential liability of someone tripping over a stump.
- Creates a new area where you can plant something else.
- Eliminates the chance for termites in decaying wood.
Plus
- Employees wear safety glasses, hard hats and ear plugs where needed.
- Extremely safety conscious - We take all the necessary precautions.
- Exceptional care is taken of homeowner property.
- We use High-Quality equipment in great working condition.
- Care is taken to restore area back to original setting.
- We can haul away your debris - Excellent Clean-up.
Key Benefits
- Reduce or eliminate pollen activity. Over the years we have seen a great decrease in pollen when trees are sprayed early to prevent flowering.
- Reduce or prevent olive formation. We average 90% - 100% control.
- Reduce or eliminate unsightly purple olive stains on your sidewalks and those carried into your home by pets, or on your shoes.
- Keeps sidewalks clean, so nobody slips. Keep away from those injuries!
- Prevents birds from carrying them around the neighborhood and dropping
them where they are unwanted - like your neighbor's house (although
sometimes that might be desirable).
Licensed and Insured
Any company spraying must carry liability insurance and workman's compensation on all applicators. Those who spray must carry a "Registered Employee Card", which is only issued by the Structural Pest Control Board. A Certified Arborist certification does not allow one to spray. A Certified Arborist must still qualify for a Certified Applicator card. They also need a "Qualifying Party" card holder to represent them on spray. For any clarifications on this matter, please call the Structural Pest Control Board.
Queen Palms Are Our Specialty!!!
- We treat over 1000 Queen Palms per year. They are one
of our main plant-care specialties. Our special mixture of nutrients
is unequalled within our industry, and we guarante we'll do our best
to make them prosper!!!
- A well-established palm is considered a low-maintenance item. A regular
program of proper irrigation and fertilization lsuited to the conditions
and needs of the palm, will help achieve the desired look.
- Our specialty treatments consist of numerous required nutrients. Which
when applied regularly, can allow your Queen Palms to develop an appropriate
nutritional balance.
- Regularly scheduled applications can, in most cases, restore your
tree to the beautiful Queen Palm that you always wanted and thought
you bought.
- In some cases it may take 1-2 years to restore your palm to its original
beauty, but if your Queen Palm has been neglected too long, it may not
be possible to restore it to its original splendor.
- If others are telling you to use Bordeaux, or that you have bud or crown rot; you might want to call us. We know what Queen Palms need!
Key Benefits
- More flowering on trees and plants.
- With regular application, leaf color can remain constant and appealing.
- Regular application can help prevent disease and fungus from invading a healthy plant.
- Promotes lush growth and more vibrant colors in flowering plants and
trees.
- Can encourage a slow-growing plant, or tree to accelerate it's maturity,
grow faster.
- Aerates soil and breaks up compaction.
- Larger and more flavorful fruit.
Overview
Preemergence herbicides persist in the soil and control susceptible weeds for two to six months. The level of control depends on the specific herbicide and rate being used, soil physical and chemical properties, soil moisture levels, soil temperatures, as well as the species of turfgrass. Additionally, the type of herbicide formulation and uniformity of application also has a major influence on the level of control achieved.
Application before germination
Preemergence herbicides must be applied prior to weed seed germination. The mode of action for most preemergence herbicides (e.g., bensulide, benefin, dithiopyr, oryzalin, pendimethalin, prodiamine) is the inhibition of certain phases of cell division during the seed germination process. As the weed seed germinates, the herbicide is absorbed by the root or shoot, cell division is blocked, growth is inhibited and eventually the immature seedling dies.
The optimum application timing for preemergence herbicides varies depending on both the characteristics of the herbicide and environmental conditions. Applications made at or close to planting usually are more consistent than applications made several weeks ahead of planting, except in situations where no significant rainfall events occur in the first few weeks following planting and herbicide application. During dry springs, early preplant applications may be more consistent than at-planting applications due to the greater likelihood of the herbicide being moved into the soil profile by rain. However, early preplant herbicides may fail to provide full season control in years with above average rainfall or delayed planting due to the greater time period between application and crop canopy formation.
Emerged weeds visible at the time of application are not controlled by preemergence herbicides.
Overview
Simply put, postemergence is the spraying of weeds after the point of germenation.
