Tri-County Tree & Bobcat service

I would highly recommend Tri-County Tree and Bobcat to anyone looking for tree removal or any of their services. They came out to my house the morning after I called and gave me a great price on the job. They were very professional and down to earth to talk to. Thanks again!

Bobby took my call at 8 p.m. at night to discuss what we needed. He came out the next day to give an estimate. Worked with us on the price offered other service as well, chipping wood for mulch and moving it around our property. He even left his bobcat for me to use after his job was done so I could move the mulch myself. Very professional and friendly. He is a top notch and we will use his company again. highly recommend him to anyone!

Our experience with Tri-County Tree and Bobcat was awesome. Bobby was a pleasure to work with, he gave us a fair estimate and arrived on a Saturday to do the work. He and his crew did a great job cutting down the trees, grinding the stumps and cleaning up. I HIGHLY recommend they will definitely be coming back to our home, we have much more to do!

We are at the beginning of a pool and deck remodeling project. Our 30 year old cement deck beside the pool had been lifted 1 1/2 inches by tree roots growing under the deck. Another cement sub-contractor had been hired to tear out the old cement from that part of the deck, remove the problem roots and then pour new cement to form a new deck. They did more head scratching than working. You see the area with the root problem was a narrow swatch between the screen cage and the shallow end of the pool so it was hard to maneuver large stump grinding type machinery in there. We gave them permission to remove the screening and some of the cross pieces of the cage but they still could not get deep enough to remove the roots to lay a 12 inch footer for us after a week of trying. That is when our main contractor contacted Bobby Weddle owner of Tri County Tree and Bobcat Service and asked if he would give it a try. Bobby came over that very evening at 6 PM after finishing the job that he had scheduled for that day and he began working immediately. He had a very positive, can do type attitude and worked well into the night with his huge machinery. This man saw obstacles as challenges and he was proud of overcoming them. In fact, he asked us to take a picture of how he overcame the problem of working his machine controls when there was no room for him to stand next to his machine on the narrow strip of ground. As you can see in the picture, he stood a step ladder in our drained pool and worked the huge stump grinder controls by standing on the step ladder. He did an excellent job and we would highly recommend him. His business card says his company does tree removal as well as bobcat work.

First contact was made over the phone. He was polite, listened carefully, asked the right questions and made arrangements to checkout the property. Upon review of the situation he made suggestions to solve all of the issues and was able to start work within 36 hours of our first talk. He kept me informed of the progress and this went a long way to building confidence after many bad experiences in the past with other contractors. This confidence was reinforced by Bobby's action, strong work ethic and genuine personality. When we met for the first time on the work site I instantly felt comfortable seeing him in action. Quick, efficient, skilled in everything he was doing! I was very impressed! Today he completed the job and I felt as if my blood pressure dropped 40 points! He did a great job and I am 100% satisfied! I already asked Bobby to quote more work and I am already confident in the results!

not good

Excellent experience.

I met Bobby in Bellaire Beach doing a job for my fiancee's neighbor. I asked him if he works on big trees as the one I had in my backyard. He said yes, and was very professional. He took my address, gave me a call the following day, and passed by and took a look at the tree. He is very knowledgeable -- informed me of everything that he would do and how he would do it. To cut down an Oak tree in Florida there has to be a reason -- in my case it was damaged and leaning -- and a permit has to be granted by the city, which he took care of for me. I was very interested how he was going to cut down this BIG TREE! Bobby, the owner, is also the one that does the cutting. He explained cutting techniques and told me about how he would also have a big crane come in and have a boom stretch over the house to cut and remove the pieces of the tree. He saw that the tree was a hazard, and thus I believe gave me the best deal to get it done as soon as possible. I read online that you have to make sure anybody that does work on you house has to have insurance or thet could sue you -- so, I made sure to call and speak directly to his insurance agent and he confirmed that Bobby had insurance. So, I hired Bobby. One morning the tree was there, in the afternoon after I came home from work -- it was gone! He took down this massive tree in just a matter of probably 4 or 5 hours -- start to finish. He also had the stump grinded the next day. I believe the price and workmanship that I received were above average. The next lowest price was $400 more from another company. Bobby is honest and hard-working and I recommend doing business with him.

Bobby Weddle the owner is an absolute delight to work with. He was punctual, works in a timely fashion and completed the job perfectly. He even cleared things that were not in his contract for free! When the job was completed he left the property immaculate. We have recommended him many times and are using him in the near future for more work. We feel we DEFINITELY received our moneys worth! We have used another company that was a nightmare so, we have a great comparison!

I met Bobby Weddle in January at a non-profit horse barn where I volunteer, called Friendship Glen, it is were the Kiwanis Horses for Handicapped family rides and is also home of two Girl Scout troops and a 4H club. I was immediately struck by Bobby Weddles professional mannerism. I was able to see first hand his skills in tree trimming, ground clearing and hauling. This was a large area that was home to many braizian pepper trees and old pines that were hit by lightening, plus the grounds were covered with potato vines and other non-native vines. His works was very efficient and I was very impressed with his skills driving the bob cats and all his other machines that he used to get the job done. Before long the trucks were loaded, ground leveled and a replacement tree was planted. At that time, I spoke to Mr. Weddle regarding some work that needed to be done at my home, he was able to provide me with 3+ references and a detailed brochure with his companies information and license number. After calling his references, all of which were very pleased with his work, I met Bobby at my property and we went over the details of what needed to be done. He gave me a detailed written estimate and a time frame in which the work could be completed. A few days later, I called Bobby and told him that he was the man that I wanted to do business with. My decision was not based just on price but on the trust and the referrals from his references. It took about 4 hours to trim my very tall and overgrown hedges and my numerous old oak trees that were getting ever so close to my neighbors fireplace. I was a little nervous with the trimming over my house but was put at ease with his ability to use his rope and pulley system to keep both himself, his staff and my home safe. Hardly a leaf was on my roof ! Overall the job was excellent and I feel very comfort with my name being added to any referrals he may need. I am happy to report to Angie's list how pleased I am with Tri -County Tree Service and Bobby Weddle.
