"Our 2 fan palms had grown so tall it was impossible to trim them ourselves as we had done in the past, so there was years of new growth and dead palm frons. One by one 4 workers arrived, each had a specific task. The first to arrive was the trimmer who climbed into the 3 story high trees to trim them. 2 men were on the ground stacking and picking up the ground and carrying them to the 4th man running the chipper. They were synchronized with their task. If any debris fell into our neighbors yard they picked that up. All of this was accomplished in 40 minutes. They left the yard picked up and clean and our trees beautiful!."

Customers say: True professional

"Angel Carrera and his crew were careful, professional and attentive to each one of my tree service directives. They serviced 30 Queen Palms and four very large Chinese Elms on our 1.3 acre hill property—at times using proper tree-climbing equipment, at times using two boom lifters. Their rates were quite reasonable. I definitely recommend LM Tree Service!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

If you don’t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it’s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it’s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.
