"Mr. Marshall was professional, helpful and knowledgeable about trees. While trimming tree, he observed that the trees were sick and needed treatment. He provided me with the information needed to treat the trees. For further use, I will use Trees N Chips and recommended him to family and friends. Thank you again, Mr. Marshall."

We were very pleased with the work performed by Kirby Tree Care.  Kerry and his workers were very professional and worked hard to get the job done safely and in a timely manner.  We would recommend their services and would definitely use them again.

"I called Mr. Riggs on Aug. 27, and he came by the day we called to give us an estimate, which we thought was very reasonable for the amount of branches we had cut down.  He was going to try to come that Friday evening if he could, but did not make it because he was working on another job that ran long, which he had warned us about.  We were not in a hurry, so that was fine.  I called him the next week, and he apologized for taking so long, and showed up in the next couple of days.  In all fairness, he also had to wait because it had been raining for several days and he could not have driven through my yard until it was dry.  He and his crew loaded up our huge pile of limbs, and totally raked and cleaned up everything.  He also gave us a very good estimate for cutting down and hauling off a couple of other trees we need to get down, and we will call him about those soon.  He is a very nice man, very professional, and we will definitely use him again!

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there’s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it’s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside.
