"Nick and his crew are the absolute best at what they do. They were on time, organized and professional throughout the process of trimming our trees. They completed the job in less than three hours including debris clearing and removing. They cleaned up and left my entire yard and driveway spotless. Surprisingly, Nick beat his competitorsâ prices by a substantial margin while providing superior work quality. I highly recommend Nick and plan to call on him again in the future."

"I have used Mid-Florida tree service for years and loved them, but this time I dealt with a new arborist-in-training since the arborist I have always worked with was unavailable. I requested the removal of a low-hanging branch, but, due to a 50/50 misunderstanding, the wrong branch (a cherished, fern-covered, beautiful branch that gave me privacy from the neighbors) was removed. Further, the crew damaged our gate/fence with the truck and left deep ruts in our yard. 
Though all these things were distressing, I would not be writing this review except for the arborist's lack of follow-through. The work was done on Monday, and that day, he apologized about the branch, and I told him that, given everything, I thought we were due a partial refund. I planned to use the money to purchase a large staghorn fern or two and heavy-duty hangers to fill the empty spot. He said he'd look into the refund and promised that the fence and ruts would be repaired that week. I never heard back from anyone that week. The next week, after he got my message from the week before, he did send out a man who did an excellent job repairing my fence and gate, and that man left some buckets of dirt for us to fill the ruts ourselves. I spoke with the arborist a second time, and he said he'd look into a partial refund. No one has ever contacted me again.
I am disappointed with the lack of response from Mid-Florida Tree Service.

"

Called several tree service companies on Angie's list for estimates.  Needed to call/email twice to Experience Tree Service.  Once contact was made responded within 24 hours.  During the estimate process apologized for not getting back to initial call.  Asbel, owner, advised that he was having problems with voice mail calls on his business phone.  

 Was given an estimate of $1500.00 for the listed service.  This was over $500.00 LESS than other tree companies.  He also advised that I needed a tree removal permit, which he included in this price (other company was going to charge an additional $85.00).  I agreed to his estimate and hired him for the job.  I emailed him information for the tree permit request and he did the paperwork with the county.

 On Saturday March 29, 2014 he arrived with a thee person crew and completed the work.  I asked for several other branches to be trimmed, not on original quote, and he did them at no charge.  Property was cleaned and both neighbors driveway were cleared of any possible debris.  Job took less that 1/2 day.  Great Job Asbel.

"Today Outdoor Experts LLC (Tree Trimming etc) trimmed our queen palm, and the overhang branches from another tree near our mailbox. They did a very good job, working quickly, efficiently, and they cleaned everything up when the work was completed."

"I can fully recommend First Choice Tree Service to anyone who has a project involving trees, shrubs, bushes or landscaping issues. Matt and his crew were extraordinarily professional and helpful way beyond the norm. Matt even helped me pick up glass pieces from a bottle thrown into my yard the night before. The cost of my work seemed very reasonable to me when thinking about the work done. When they were complete and had cleaned up the area more spotless than when they came, I was delighted with what they had done. A good company run by a very good man."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. 

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

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.

The exact answer to this question depends on which region of the country you’re talking about, but according to various tree counts, some of the most common types of trees in the United States include red maple, Douglas fir, quaking aspen, loblolly pine, and sweetgum.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.
