"I highly recommend Aaron and his team. They showed genuine professionalism, respect, and punctuality throughout the project, making the entire process smooth and reassuring. Their excellent communication helped ensure a swift scheduling, which was greatly appreciated. The crew did an outstanding job removing three large palm trees, cutting the stumps, and hauling away all debris. They worked safely, efficiently, and left the area clean and cared for when they finished. Their pricing was fair and reasonable, and the quality of work went beyond what I expected. I truly appreciate their hard work and dedication, and I would not hesitate to call on them again or recommend them to others. Thank you, Aaron and your team, for your compassionate approach and for doing such a great job!"

"I’m very pleased with the professional work by a licensed, certified arborist from Florida Foliage of Central Florida. We have an oak tree and a magnolia out front, an overgrown hedge on the side, and a huge magnolia in back. All are about 12 years old and have never been trimmed. These guys know their stuff, and the work was completed quickly. They have a truck with a claw that will come and pick up the pile of branches and leaves in the pile next to the street. Thank You!"

"This was the best group of guys whom we have ever had,, They trimmed and cut down a tree at our home.. We have had many other companies come and trim our trees before, and believe me when I say, they were nothing like the Negrich Team!!!!! Erick was great, he was up in his cherry picker in the pouring rain finishing up things. Everyone stays busy always doing something (cleaning etc.) There was no mess left behind, and their pricing is very fair. You will be getting the best when you hire them! Big thanks to Brandon and Erick"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Stump grinding consists of removing the visible part of the stump, but the roots remain intact. Depending on the tree and root system, the roots may still grow after stump grinding. If you are concerned about root growth and damage, you may want to consider having a stump removed completely.

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.
