"From the first phone conversation to the finish TWC was very informative, professional and courteous. Expectations were met and exceeded. They will be the first phone call when we need any of the services they provide. They took down 2 good size trees and one large one right beside the driveway and pool fence. Awesome job and clean up!"

"Troy was fantastic to work with for this project. His estimate was spot on and he was able to explain many of the things I didn’t understand that would have made the project more complicated for me in the long run. He was very accommodating. I would highly recommend TWC."

Customers say: Quick response

"Doug was very prompt in corresponding to my project needs. His crew did a very nice job grading the slope of property and this was a great solution to the water coming into the basement! So glad we hired him first. It saved thousands for my elderly father’s property. He also removed a tall pine tree that was mostly dead in front of house. Stump was ground both there and near foundation of house. Top soil seed and hay were added and it has very much improved the landscaping. I highly recommend his services! Thanks so much Doug for your help!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

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.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.
