Signs Your Tree Needs to Come Down
In Meridian and Eagle, aging and poorly placed landscape trees are among the most common scenarios that require removal. A noticeable lean toward your home or other structures. A new or increasing lean can indicate the tree’s stability has changed.
Fungi or mushrooms are growing at the base. These can be signs of decay affecting the root system or lower trunk.
Large dead branches throughout the canopy. Extensive deadwood often indicates a tree is in decline and can create a safety risk.
A hollow trunk or significant cracks. Structural defects may reduce the tree’s strength and ability to withstand wind or storms.
Roots lifting the soil, sidewalk, or driveway. Root movement can be a sign the tree is becoming unstable or causing property damage.
Severe storm damage. Split trunks, major limb failures, or broken tops sometimes leave a tree too compromised to safely preserve.
Where We Work
Many removals in Meridian and Eagle involve ornamental landscape trees that have outgrown their location. Each project requires a removal strategy based on the tree’s size, condition, and proximity to structures.

Posted on Google Cheryl AndersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first heard about this company through a flyer in my mailbox. I called Herb and he came out to see the work I needed done and gave me a bid. He came today and did the work and did a beautiful job. I highly recommend him for any pruning job and will continue to use his services. Herb is wonderful and very in tune with his clients. Thank you, Herb, for the wonderful work.Posted on Google Michelle SilvaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. During the huge storm last week, part of my maple tree ended up on my neighbor’s roof. I tried calling several companies that night and first thing in the morning. Nobody answered or called me back. I found 3 Trees Arbor Care online, texted Herb, and he was at my house within the hour. He carefully and completely cleaned up the limbs and trimmed my tree back, going back and forth between our yards. He even meticulously cleaned up afterward. Herb is the nicest guy and knows what he’s doing. His prices are fair and very reasonable. We also discussed my tree’s health going forward. I have him saved as my go-to tree guy now, and so should you! 🌳Posted on Google Orville OsborneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience I had with 3 Trees Arbor Care.

He walked me through every step of the process — explaining what my trees needed, why it mattered, and how the work would protect the health and safety of my property long‑term. Herb doesn’t just do tree work. He teaches, he guides, and he makes sure you feel confident in every decision. That kind of professionalism is rare, and it made the entire experience smooth, stress‑free, and honestly enjoyable. The quality of the work was outstanding. My trees look healthier, my yard looks cleaner, and the whole property feels safer. You can tell this company takes pride in doing things the right way — no shortcuts, no guesswork, just real expertise backed by years of experience. If you’re looking for a tree service that’s honest, skilled, and truly invested in your home, 3 Trees Arbor Care is the one.

Thank you Herb!Posted on Google Sean KunklerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Herb did a wonderful job trimming our tree and removing the dying ones from our back yard. He was super easy to work with, a great communicator, and did it at a fair price. Absolutely loved working with him and will use 3 Trees Arbor Care the next time we need any work done! 10/10Posted on Google Sallee DemarsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Herb did a great job! He went the extra mile for me and it was greatly appreciated!Posted on Google PattyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 3 Trees Arbor Care is probably the best tree care company I've ever dealt with. Herb is on time, knowledgeable, and does a fantastic job. He goes the extra mile, which is hard to find in today's world. We have no backyard neighbors and only a large farm behind us with the irrigation ditch just behind our back fence. There is also a large grove of trees which are beautiful, but messy, also behind our fence. As it turns out, Herb trimmed our trees the morning of the fence tear out. He saw the tree debris that had collected behind our fence and it would have made it more difficult for the fence guy to get a straight fence up with the mess that was there. Herb took it upon himself to move the debris, and even came back the next day to make sure the fence guy had a clear path to install the new fence. That is the kind of service that is hard to find. Going forward, we will not use anyone else for our tree needs. He's got a yearly job with us...maybe even twice a year.Posted on Google Wayne NeedhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Herb was the best! He explained every aspect of the job. Different choices and let us know we were in charge. What every we wanted he was willing to provide. We would highly recommend this company. Wayne and Nema NeedhamPosted on Google Eldon HarstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 3 Trees and Herb did an Awesome Job getting a tree out that was close to house and utilities, no issues at all, left the area clean and looking nice. Fast, easy to communicate with and all around great service. Will use for all my tree work going forward!Posted on Google Brett OlsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Herb did a great job pruning two trees at the front of our house (and doing a smaller trim on a third). After contacting him initially, he was quick to come over to inspect them and talk to me about what I'd like done. He quoted me a very reasonable price, so we scheduled the job for the next day. He was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, pruned the trees just as I wanted, and did a great cleanup afterwards, too. We'll be sure to use him again next time we need some tree work done. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Janice BeemerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so very grateful for the fantastic job Herb did trimming my trees and shrubs. It is nice to look out into the backyard and see order, neat and tidy trees. His work was fast and efficient and the clean up could not be faulted. I am ready for spring!
