Caught my neighbor mid-hack job on a tree with unlicensed help. I offered advice and my arboristโs number. He told me he didnโt careโhe was just trimming because the HOA told him to. The tree didnโt deserve that.
I have a degree in landscape architecture and studied environmental sciences. Iโm not a tree expertโbut I know when oneโs been butchered.
Every single client I work with gets referred to a licensed arborist. I emphasize proper care. Tree health affects shade, energy use, property value, and the whole community๐ณ๐ซ
This is the desert. Weโre in a water crisis. ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐.
My tree? Trimmed by a pro. Neighbor on the left? Also pro. Neighbor on the right? Looks like a chainsaw revenge fantasy ๐ช๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ Further down the block? Same ๐ฉ

My front yard tree is home to birds. Itโs Elviraโs favorite birdwatching spot. It matters.
In my neighborhood, lots are small. Usually one tree in the front, maybe one on the side. ๐ง๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐. ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ป๐๐.
Routine tree maintenance means proper pruning (always preserve branch collars), crown thinning, airflow-focused canopy shaping, and fertilization. My clients also get deep root watering and smart irrigation built inโ๐ด๐ฉ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐จ๐บ, ๐ด๐ข๐ท๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ธ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ.
Weโre in a water shortage. Donโt be that person with ego and a chainsaw. Keep the trees alive.
