"Put in the request with Home Advisor on Saturday night, in about 5 minutes I received a call from Rigo from 3-D Tree services. They came out to give me a quote 15 minutes later. I was happy with the quote so I hired them. The quote was to trim two large (About 40 feet tall) trees and remove another large tree. They showed up Sunday morning at 8:00 exactly on time, and were amazing. Roger (Son of Rigo) was great. Walked us through the process made sure there was a clear understanding of what they were going to do and they went to it. They ended up bringing a cherry picker, wood chipper, and stump grinder. All of the workers were great. They ended up leaving our place cleaner then it was when they got there. We could not be happier. 17 hours after I put in the request to Home Advisor our tree issues were completely solved. I would definitely hire them again.... Chris"

"Excellent experience. I had to have two huge eucalyptus removed. Gilbert's bid was fair and that he's thoroughly insured was most reassuring. But what sealed the deal was not feeling I had to hire an arborist diagnose the problem because Gilbert is so knowledge. He not only told me the reason the trees had to be removed but was able to show me the proof. The crew was efficient, hard working and impressive. I also felt I was working with a very honest person. Happy to recommend Gilbert's Green Essence."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.

If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. According to the ISA, this credential is reserved for arborists “who have reached the pinnacle of their profession.” Check your arborist’s credentials before hiring to confirm their level of training and expertise.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.
