"Erik was great in helping cut 5 trees in my backyard. They were about 35 to 40 feet tall and average 15” in diameter. Some of the branches overhung my roof. Him and his crew worked quickly, safely, and efficiently. Since i was cutting down an invasive tree, he helped work with me to cut groves in the stump and give me time to treat each stump as it was cut. I would highly recommend to anyone."

"This is the reason why I needed my trees trimmed. I have a fifty year old Ash tree. It was an unusual tree since it grew in a V-shaped manner. It was sixty feet tall and getting taller by the year. The older it got, the taller it grew and I was afraid that one day the two main branches will be so heavy that it will split itself in two and fall on my neighbor’s house hurting people inside. . I called Urban Tree Care and I was greeted by Lizet. She was friendly over the phone. I told her my situation and she said she will gladly have someone come to my house that weekend to inspect my tree. True to her word, that weekend a man named Heriberto came to my house. He looked at my tree and said nothing’s wrong with it. It’s perfectly healthy and it didn’t need any of his help. I told him about my concerns about my tree falling down so he suggested trimming the tree to lighten it up. I agreed. He also looked at my Walnut tree next to the Ash tree and suggested trimming that as well. He quoted me a price of $1,500.00 and I agreed. Later that day, Lizet called and scheduled an appointment for the team to do their work. . The team arrived on time. They came in a large dump truck with a woodchipper attached and a pickup truck. Heriberto was the team leader. He was the one who climbed the tree making the cuts as his four assistants were there gathering the branches and logs making it safe for him to do his job. They were a very efficient and professional team. They wore uniforms and hardhats. Heriberto used mountaineering gear to climb up the trees and with his chainsaw and ropes he made professional cuts. He used ropes to make sure the branches and logs come down on my property and not on my neighbor’s property. . Once they finished, both my Ash tree and Walnut tree looked great. By trimming the trees it allowed more light on my property and it really made me feel good. Urban Tree Care is a professional company and it was worth paying them the money. I will do business with them again."

"It went great! The crew showed up right on time, spent nearly 3 hours trimming the tree (it is huge!) and cleaned up everything when done. Very professional and thorough. Highly recommend them!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

Some trees, such as silver maples, birches, sycamores, and scotch pines, shed their bark naturally. If your tree is not one that does this, it might have fallen prey to pests, fungi, or diseases. It could also simply be suffering from an extreme weather change, such as a snowstorm or heat wave. If you’re still stumped, consulting with a pro can help you diagnose your tree’s specific problem.

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.
