"Brian of Sergeant Major Stump Grinding was excellent. I've left a long-detailed review - but I can sum it up here in 3 lines: 1) Easy to work with and professional  2) Great competitive prices / quotes. 3) Did exactly what I asked for and left the site looking better than it did. He is an upbeat guy, who was willing to come out and quote my project on the weekend. He asked if I could text him detailed photos of the stumps, which I did. Based on the pics that I texted him; he was able to quote me via text. This eliminated two trips out to my house, and enabled this project to happen very quickly - which I greatly appreciate! His quote was extremely reasonable, so I agreed to his quote, and he came out at our agreed upon time on Sunday. He was right on time. His equipment was extremely clean, and his safety protocols were excellent - which I appreciated. His stump grinder wasn't that loud, and my wife was able to meet with friends inside the house the entire time that Brian ground the two stumps. His work was extremely neat as well. He asked me where I wanted the wood chip piles from the stumps and I told him where I wanted them. He filled the stump holes and had very neat piles of wood chips for me. He also used a blower and left the job site cleaner than it looked before he got there. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thank you! Karl Lund"

"We recently hired DC tree service to remove several trees, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The crew and owner Daelon was professional, courteous, and arrived exactly on time as promised. Communication throughout the entire process was clear and responsive, which made everything easy and stress-free. What impressed us most was the cleanup after the job was completed. Not only was our yard left in great condition, but it actually looked cleaner and more organized than before they arrived. Every bit of debris, leaves, and branches was completely cleared away. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and hardworking tree service, I would highly recommend them."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work from BMG Stump Grinding! From the first time I reached out, they were friendly, professional, and easy to work with. They did a great job removing the stump and cleaned everything up so well afterward that you could hardly tell it was ever there. It’s always nice to find a company that takes pride in their work and treats you like a person, not just another job. I really appreciate how smoothly everything went and would absolutely recommend BMG Stump Grinding to anyone who needs a stump removed. Great service and great people!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.

Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the cheapest time of year to remove a tree is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.
