We just had two guys from a landscape company re-plant our tree, but I would not recommend them for pruning your tree. We actually only needed a couple of men who had the strength to move the tree so that the hole could be re-dug and put the tree back.

If your tree keeps going over, it sounds like it isn't planted deeply enough or that the tree isn't properly staked. Personally, I don't like when the wooden stakes are used. The stakes permit movement, especially if there only are two poles. I prefer when they are strapped/fastened to the ground with 3 or 4 straps.

For landscaping and fixing your tree, I would recommend Ron's Landscaping (352-227-7788). I'm sure they will be able to help you with pruning and shaping your tree. They know trees and are excellent in every aspect of exterior space. They do exceptional work and have good landscape ideas.
