I don’t often write reviews, but after working with Fort Worth Arborist I feel compelled. Micky and his team came to my property because my mature Oak trees had gotten a bit out of control. After several feeble attempts to cut the massive branches on my own, I decided to contact an expert....

Fort Worth Arborist did an excellent job of removing an approximately 60 foot cedar elm tree that was in a very confined space close to walls and homes. After the tree was removed, they planted a large 35 gallon youpon in it's place. Their men were courteous, experienced, and got the job...

I have used Archie's for almost thirty years. I have always been very satisfied. Very professional company with a arborist on staff. I would not use a tree trimming company that did not employ an arborist. The person who does my trimming has done so for all of these years. This says a lot...

Great. They are certified arborists and know what to trim and how to do it. Also got advice on what seemed to be killing my ornamental pears and other good general tree advice. (PS the date is approximate. They came out several times for different things). <br />

Thought trees might be dying and needed to be trimmed. David said this was the wrong time of year to trim them and he couldn't tell what was wrong, could be soil condition. Told him I had used another tree service in the past, he encouraged me to call them since they have a certified arborist....

"Had several other services scheduled for quotes. Juan called within a couple hours and came out next day. Gave us quote and told us how he’d do the job. Accepted his quote on spot as I thought it was fair and less than I had expected. His crew started and completed the entire job the following day. Everything was as discussed/agreed from trimming to removal, to clean up. Will use him again next time we need tree service and based on our experience with this job will gladly recommend Campos to others needing tree service."

"Great service, well managed by Romel and the crew was excellent. They cut many branches from my live oak tree in a timely manner. I was very impressed by the safety measures they took when climbing up within the tree. They also cleaned and raked the yard to remove any remaining debris. Their pricing was VERY reasonable.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.
