"Excellent service. Knowledgeable about trees and the best time to trim/prune. (He advised to wait to prune for health of the tree rather that do the job at the moment..) Have used Bama's for several years. Crew is careful about under plantings to avoid damage. Courteous and hardworking. Highly recommend."

"Acer Landscaping & Tree Service were a pleasure to work with. They provided a fair and reasonable quote for removing several trees and their stumps in my backyard. Since the owner was in my local area, he was able to visit the site and provide a quote on the same day I called. The owner and his crew were onsite early and worked efficiently and professionally while maintaining social distancing and/or wearing of face masks. I'm very pleased with their services and will hire them again for future work."

"The price and the crew was great! Needed a 90 foot redwood removed from next to our house. Jose and the crew were very professional. They even cleaned up my neighbor's yard before they left! I have used California Tree Solutions on several jobs in the last few years and would not hesitate to use them again. They always do their job on time and at a fair price......no surprises here, just solid service from professionals that know what they are doing."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.
