"Aguilar Lopez and his crew were on time, courteous, and very professional. They worked to understand exactly what I needed. I basically had two giant oak trees that needed quite a lot of trimming and they priced the job very reasonably. Did a great job cleaning up all the limbs and leaves afterwards. Would absolutely recommend their services."

"Jarion and his crew just did a great job removing a 55 foot ficus tree from our yard, which included grinding the massive tree stump down to level ground. The entire job was completed quickly, safely, and at a reasonable price. Everyone on his staff was very respectful, polite, friendly, and they all conducted themselves in a professional manner. I would not hesitate to hire them once again should the need arise, and I recommend their services to one and all."

"I recently hired Lopez Tree Service for a pruning job, and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. From start to finish, the team exhibited a high level of organization and skill that truly distinguishes them in the industry. Their crew worked harmoniously, with some members focused on pruning the trees while others diligently picked up and moved the cut branches. This coordinated approach ensured that the job was completed swiftly and without unnecessary delays. I was particularly impressed with how they managed the branches—they not only pruned effectively but also processed the debris through their mulch machine, leaving my yard immaculate. Additionally, the care they took with my property was commendable. My yard was left clean, and the remaining arbor trees looked healthier and more vibrant than ever. The thoroughness of their service reassured me that I made the right choice in selecting Lopez Tree Service. I highly recommend Lopez Tree Service"

Arborists 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.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.
