"1F Tree Services They are AWESOME! The ownerJeff was extremely knowledgeable, professional and very considerate about my timeframe for trimming my trees that had become very overgrown through all the rain recently. Even though he was busy, and scheduled me after the holiday, he came quickly because of the heavy overhanging limbs on my tall heavily leafed trees with his crew and all his modern equipment to do a very professional trimming of my trees in danger of being removed. He and his crew are efficient and hard workers. After he worked his magic, he had saved my trees turning them into beautiful healthy trees that will be enjoyed for many more years. He assured me that after they worked on my trees I will be very proud of them and I am so grateful for their excellent arborist knowledge and professional work ethic, their moral principles, of honesty, openess and their form of conduct knowing I could completely trust them with my beloved trees. Thank you Jeff and 1Tree Professional Tree Services!"

"Jeff was punctual and courteous both when he gave his bid and when he came back to complete the job. The trees in my yard were huge but he was able to safely bring them to the ground and cleaned all the mess. When he was done you couldn't even tell there had been trees in my yard."

"**Uprooted Tree Care Review** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently hired Robbie and his amazing team, Gavin and Danny, from Uprooted Tree Care, and I'm thoroughly impressed! They tackled the daunting task of cutting down several huge trees in our yard and trimming others with remarkable speed, efficiency, and effectiveness. The team arrived promptly and immediately set to work, demonstrating unparalleled professionalism and expertise. What truly impressed me was their meticulous cleanup. After the job, they left our yard spotless, as if they hadn’t been there, except for the beautifully trimmed trees! Robbie, Gavin, and Danny are not only skilled but also personable. They took time to understand our needs, ensuring everything was done to our satisfaction. Their friendly demeanor made the process enjoyable. In terms of cost, Uprooted Tree Care offers competitive pricing that reflects the high-quality service. They provide incredible value, completing tasks quickly without sacrificing quality. If you need tree care specialists who are fast, efficient, and effective, I highly recommend Robbie and his team. They exceeded all our expectations and transformed our yard beautifully!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Ensures complete removal and mitigates risks of underground root damage.

It may be possible, but transplanting a large, mature tree can be a tricky project, and some trees handle it better than others. If you have a tree you need to save and are considering transplanting it elsewhere, we highly suggest calling a tree removal service and arranging a consultation to see what they say (and how much a full transplant would cost).
