"These guys did a fantastic job removing a whole lot of blackberry vines and a ton of ivy from an overgrown area of my property. They also cut back some huge laurel hedges and did a really great job pruning a cherry tree that had been neglected for too long. Not an easy job but they got it done very quickly and everything looks fantastic."

"I had a great experience working with Greg for some stump grinding and highly recommend his company. His communication was excellent right from the start, and he was incredibly flexible when I asked to add another piece to the job at the last minute. What really impressed me was the care he took with safety and property protection. He put up solid barriers around the workspace so flying debris wouldn't be an issue. His pricing is very fair, and his cleanup was top-notch—he restored the area to its pre-job condition and honestly left it looking even better than before he started. Total professional, and I'd absolutely hire him again."

"If I could give Hunter and the team at Petrich Arbor Care more than five stars, I would. We’ve lived on our six-acre property for 18 years and always had only a peek-a-boo view of Mount Rainier. Hunter carefully evaluated the view, determined exactly which trees needed trimming, and explained everything along the way. He was patient, meticulous, listened to what we wanted, and offered excellent suggestions. It was obvious he takes tremendous pride in his work. The transformation is incredible. We can now enjoy the full beauty of Mount Rainier from our porch, our yard, and even my wife’s greenhouse. Looking back, we both agree we should have done this years ago. Hunter and his crew were professional, courteous, highly skilled, and worked safely with the right equipment. Hunter’s father did outstanding work for us years ago, and it’s great to see that same quality continue with the next generation. I highly recommend Petrich Arbor Care!"

"This company is exceptional. Prompt, courteous, excellent price. We had a huge cedar removed and they were finished in 3 hours. We love trees but this one blocked our satellite dish. They cut the logs for the wood stove (we need to split) and piled the branches in a neat pile and the wood in another. Will definitely use again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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. 

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.
