"They quoted the job and even though it entailed more work than anticipated (the alley behind my fence was a mess of downed limbs and overgrowth) they didn't charge me for it. Showed up within the window of time that was promised. Did a good job trimming my huge walnut trees. Reliable and dependable. I will use them again and highly recommend All Around Affordable Tree Service. ð"

"Very timely, was eager to take my small job. He was very careful to ensure neat and tidy appearance of the work (hanging Christmas lights) It took all day and he cleaned up everything afterwards. Very good communication. I would recommend him."

"We hired Smith’s Land Development to regrade the entrance to our commercial storage facility and address drainage problems. Jesse, the owner, performed the work himself and did an outstanding job. He was knowledgeable, straightforward, and completed the project as agreed. The grading and drainage improvements have made a noticeable difference in both functionality and appearance. High-quality work and professional service. Would definitely recommend."

"Triple C removed 3 very large trees for me. I can’t recommend them highly enough and couldn’t be more pleased. They offered a competitive estimate, were professional, hard working, friendly, competent, and patient with my questions. Clean up was meticulous! Their work was fascinating to watch, especially for my seven-year-old grandson, who kept his nose pressed to the window. :) Thank you, Triple C!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

Lightning can cause massive damage, fires, and openings for other threats like bugs or fungal diseases. Barring any large fires or explosions, it’s difficult to tell how much damage a lightning strike has done until after a thorough inspection. Contact local authorities immediately if lightning strikes a tree in your yard and it causes a fire or explosion.

How often and long you should water a tree depends on the species and if it is mature or newly planted. The amount of water is also based on the tree's size. A good rule of thumb is approximately 5 gallons per inch of the trunk's diameter.

Adjusting watering to the recommended suggestions for the tree type and weather conditions is vital. For instance, watering trees during a drought is necessary, and you may need to water more frequently than usual.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
