"A&Y Performed a tree removal for me. It was approximately an 80-foot tree very close to my house and backyard deck. I was a bit nervous as I had seen "TREE Fails" on YouTube. Their insurance was current and complete so that helped my nervousness:) The crew arrived on time and had the tree removed by noon. I was very impressed and highly recommend A&Y for tree removal. They left the worksite clean and split the rounds and stacked the wood for me (I wanted it for firewood). I felt the price was fair and the customer service was excellent. I would absolutely hire this company again. Thank you Yohana:)"

"It went well. Crew was on time and very clean. I am used to having to pick up after crews but not these guys. Fair price and attention to detail. We then had him do a second project of installing flag stone. Owner is the site guy too and detail oriented. They will be back for some concrete work next month. Only issue I had was communication language barrier. Luckily my wife speaks Spanish so it worked out well."

"Juan and his team were excellent. They removed two 50+ foot tall trees near our home in a tricky location that required chopping up the trees into smaller bits and lowering them individually by rope. They were on-budget, on-time, and far faster than their initial time estimate of 2 weeks (done in 1 week). A team of 5 were at our home every day for 6 days and got it all done. Super professional, courteous, kind to our neighbors, and great quality of work all around. A+ rating, would work with them again."

"I have used Aly's Tree Service for 20 years. They've removed dead trees and planted new trees and trimmed trees. Usually Aly is there during the service and things go great. Usually I give straight A's. This time I asked for pruning and trimming of citrus trees. Aly came for the estimate. He said my orange tree was fine for another year--I always appreciate his honesty. The lemon tree and the lime tree needed some work. They had gotten too large and dense. Workers came out promptly. No need for Aly for this smaller job. After 30 minutes (and $400) they said they were finished. I looked at the trees and they were densely shaped shrubs on a trunk. Now, I know I asked for thinning/pruning. I told them so but they said this is how they always do it and how Aly told them to do it. I wasn't thrilled with this as my gardener will do this same work for no added fee. I told them sun and air needed to get into there and thinning branches was needed for healthy fruit. They either didn't understand me or acted like they didn't understand me as I tried to explain what I wanted. Rather than continue to disagree, I let them go. I called Aly's number and he came right over and looked at it and said he'd send a crew right over to fix it and they did first thing in the morning. I loved that response. The second job done was excellent and exactly what I had in mind. I'm not sure what was going on with the first crew. Did they want to quickly get the job done and not do all the work? Did they really not know what pruning a tree involves? Do some people really like super dense shrub citrus trees? I really trust Aly, but was disappointed in the work his first crew did. I will continue to use Aly and continue to make sure the job is done the way I need it even if I have to call them again to fix it up."

FAQs for trees & shrubs treat, protect and maintain projects in San Carlos, CA

The optimal timing for bush trimming depends largely on plant variety and growth characteristics. For most deciduous shrubs, late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges, provides ideal results. Plants grown primarily for their flowers should be trimmed shortly after blooming concludes to preserve next year's flower buds. During periods of extreme heat or cold, it's advisable to postpone significant trimming to avoid stressing plants when they're most vulnerable.

While tipping isn't generally expected for landscape maintenance services, it's sometimes offered for exceptional work or service. When considering a gratuity, factors like job complexity, attention to detail, and overall professionalism might influence your decision. For larger crews, individual tips of $10 to $20 per worker may be more practical than percentage-based amounts. Always prioritize paying the agreed service price before considering additional gratuities.

Professional trimming can contribute significantly to pest management by eliminating overcrowded growth where insects often shelter and breed. Proper pruning improves air circulation throughout the plant, reducing conditions favorable for fungal diseases and certain insect infestations. Experienced landscapers often identify early signs of pest activity during trimming, allowing for prompt intervention before problems escalate. Some services offer integrated pest management approaches alongside trimming for comprehensive plant health.

Most overgrown shrubs can be successfully rehabilitated through appropriate pruning techniques, though severely neglected specimens may require a phased approach. Professional landscapers evaluate each plant's condition to determine whether gradual reduction or more aggressive rejuvenation pruning would be most effective. 

The recovery timeline varies by species, with some showing remarkable improvement within a single growing season while others require multiple years to regain optimal form and health.
