"They were very professional, did a fabulous job and at a reasonable cost. I have used them before to do the Ventura County mandatory fire abatement tree trimming and they did a great job with that too. But this time it was a very large live oak removal due to disease that was determined to be a hazard to our house. From the time of determination and submitting the permit paperwork from an arborist, to removal of a two stemmed trunk --11 days including grinding the huge,two-pronged stump. From review and bidding, to actual removal the team was courteous, prompt and thorough. Can't say enough good about them. BTW, did I mention that they beat out two other bids! Enough said!"

"We loved Kerry's tree service. We got three quotes to remove a large decaying sycamore from our steep back hill that was overhanging our downhill neighbors' property. Kerry's was by far the cheapest at $1,500 (compared to $2,000 and $3,800). I was very happy to learn they came in so low, since Kerry's had by far the best reviews I'd seen on Angie's list. Those reviews were well-deserved. They arrived as scheduled at 7:30am and were finished by 11am. They were friendly, responsive, quick, easy, efficient, clean, and respectful of our neighbors. I'm not even sure how they finished so fast. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them strongly to others without hesitation."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

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.

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.

Costs reflect the size of the tree or shrub, the complexity of the task, location accessibility, and disposal needs, and comprehensive quotes vary accordingly.
