"Outstanding service from H&H Stump Grinding. They came out and gave us a very fair estimate and upon agreeing on a price to stump grind 6 stumps they were able to fit us into their schedule quickly. The work they performed met all our expectations and they cleaned up everything. Without hesitation I would highly recommend H&H Stump Grinding. I would recommend calling them directly vrs filling out the home advisor form, so they as a contractor donâ t have the pay the lead fee. I have already recommended them to a few of my neighbors!"

"Very polite and responsive. Available via text throughout the job. Went above and beyond, removing some tree stumps not originally part of the proposal. The only (minor) complaint was that a two-day job turned into more than that. UPDATE. Almost 3 months after the original job, I have texted, emailed, and called over 10 times to try to get an area cleaned up that was left a mess. A good experience has turned into a very poor one unfortunately. I am still hopeful this will be Resolved, and will update the review as things proceed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.

There are a few instances in which removing a tree is the best option. You might do this if the tree looks to be a major danger—potentially falling onto your home, your car, or other parts of your property—or it’s diseased beyond repair. A tree that is growing too close to your house might need to be removed to prevent mold growth.

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.
