"Luckily I speak Spanish so I was able to communicate with the workers what needed to be done. The supervisor showed up later, but the person who initially evaluated the trees did not come back on site. Mr. Castro was very friendly when he was out and, while not an arborist, seemed to know his stuff. The catch was that the guys who came, while very good workers and very nice, were not arborists either so they were asking me what I preferred as far as cutting back the branches. This is not my specialty so I had a hard time figuring out if more needed to be done.
The price was right and the trees look nice now. I would have preferred to have an arborist who could give me advice on what exactly should be cut back and to over see the work.

"They did an excellent job of removing trees from my property, and some of them were difficult to get to due to the layout of my yard. They removed all the logs and branches, all debris. When I have a need for further tree services, I will be calling them again. I highly recommend Tri-County Tree Service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

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.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

Costs reflect the size of the tree or shrub, the complexity of the task, location accessibility, and disposal needs, and comprehensive quotes vary accordingly.
