What is the easiest way to hollow out a tree stump?

• <div><p>It depends on whether easiest means fastest or least challenging. If you have limited tools or experience, hollowing with a chisel and hammer is the easiest, although it won’t be the fastest approach. Using a chainsaw is much faster, but it comes with more safety risks, especially if you aren’t used to wielding one. </p></div>

Do I have to grind an old tree stump?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-kill-tree-stump.htm">killing a tree stump</a>, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.</p><p>Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.</p></div>

How do I know when a tree needs trimming?

• <div><p>Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:</p><ul><li><p>A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. </p></li><li><p>A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.</p></li><li><p>A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

I went on the internet looking for a tree service. Discount Tree Care Arborist Inc., #1025257, was one of the companies that responded. Rafael came to give an estimate. I told Rafael where I wanted the tree cut near a spot where a branch had been previously cut. He told me it would be a bulb...

We've always used Green Leaf Tree service for our HOA grounds. They always have the best price and they use real professional tree cutters. I was amazed how quickly and safely they took down 6 large trees on our grounds and then they grinded the stumps and cleaned up. Never disappointed when...

They did a great job. They are very prompt and professional and did not try to upsell me on removing a tree.

Everything went well. John and his guys were prompt and worked quickly. They also did an excellent job of cleaning after themselves. I would definitely use them again in the future as there are a few other trees which need to be cut down. Thanks John! (And Berto, John, Juan and Juan!)

This is the third tree service I have used through Angie's List. Not only is Lopez Tree Service way better than the other two, but this is the best tree service I've ever used since becoming a homeowner in 1990. I don't like slamming contractors unless they to a really bad job, but one of the...

Everything went very well, from start to finish. Particularly helpful was the service representative, who was prompt, thoughtful, and efficient in arranging for the tree to be removed and for the fence to be repaired.

I thought it went very well. The contractor did tell me that he was going to create and drop a quote off on one day, and that didn't happen until the next day. Then, he told me the tree would be removed on another day, and the actual removal happened the day afterward. But none of that really...
