"Dustin got back to me right away to schedule. He arrived on time and trimmed my birch snag to a point that it will not fall on my fence when it does fall. He also looked at my mountain ash which was stressed. He trimmed the branches that were rubbing on each other and old me to moved the rocks and grass from underneath it. He educated me on caring for the tree and how to shake the branches after watering so they don't burn."

"They came to my residence and provided a cost and time estimate in a friendly neighborly manner. They stayed in touch to confirm our scheduled work date and time. They were punctual and thorough in explaining how the work would be done and listened when I commented on the locations of sprinklers and best approaches as to keep our lawn from unsightly track marks. The work was completed professionally as per our agreement. I would highly recommend them, and will use them for future landscaping work."

"I haven't had any work done yet. But... after 3 years and multiple calls to the most well know tree services in the area, Betchels was the fist to call back. I made an inquiry on Sunday (fathers day) Ryon called back Monday AM and spent 2 hours on the property on Tuesday, after business hours and at my convenience. He looked at every tree and made recommendations for what I could do myself vs the professional jobs. I was left with a written quote more reasonable than any of the nightmare stories I'd heard from friends and neighbors. We have a large property with multiple trees that have been neglected for years. I was dreading a professional assessment/quote but walked away feeling encouraged and looking forward to future progress. I wouldn't normally write a review on work that hasn't been done but I was so impressed with the service, quoted price and his willingness to accommodate that I felt like I could review the experience so far. I'll write more when the work is completed but I'm confident it will exceed my expectations! Thank you Ryon for taking the time to make an overwhelming situation feel manageable. I look forward to working with you."

"This summer and last Patrick and Aaron assisted me in a quite a few projects, including sealing log checks, creating railing gate for me spa, sanding and finishing decking, and even landscaping work. They are prompt, efficient and fair. In Missoula, it is rare to find a company that will do what they say when they say it - and these guys do just that. They're good at brainstorming to find solutions to unusual project issues."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.
