"Service was all you could ask for! We were out of town when they actually did the work and we could see no signs of any debris left, tire tracks in the yard or any evidence that they had done the work except that all the tree work had been taken care of. Amazing! Thomas and Gloria were great to work with! Their service was prompt, the tree work was fantastic and the price was fair! We've had other tree service companies work for us and they were not even close in any respects. Precision Tree Service is the best company we have used, by far!"

"We had a large water oak fall on our home. The Smith brothers were at my house within an hour of the initial contact, and they offered a very fair price to remove the fallen portion as well as the remainder of the tree that was still standing. They treated this as an emergency job, and were able to break me into their schedule. By the early afternoon, the tree was off the house and cut up. The next day, they were able to come back with a larger crew and knock out the remainder, including stump grinding and removal. There is literally no sign that a tree ever stood here. Throughout the process, I was impressed by their professionalism, efficiency, and the care they took to prevent further damage. It takes a lot of experience and skill to safely remove a tree as large as this one right next to a house, and the same goes for removing a tree that's already fallen on a house. I highly recommend Smith's services."

"Mr. Burkes operates a very professional tree service. He took great care in making sure that none of the plants that I did not want damaged were damaged, even those next to large trees being taken down. I had twelve good sized trees taken down in one day and of which were very near my house. Highly recommend BBB Wood Service!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.
