"Great response time. Made an appointment and came early. The work crew was professional, hard working, and very courteous. They dug up a small shrub that was in harm's way and replanted it after they were done! They not only removed limbs and such, but blew off the yard and even used hand rakes to clean up. They completely cut down a very old and huge oak tree and trimmed three other trees. They cut the tree into small pieces so that I could split it for firewood. They went beyond expectations. Fido and his crew were amazing. This was the most satisfying work that I have ever had done by any kind of worker. I have been recommending them to everyone that I know who needs tree service work."

"Everything we asked for was done, done well and done quickly with courtesy and cooperation. My one disappointment was that the yard was not left very smooth... I have lots of exposed roots and rocks, even a few low spots that I'll need to smooth out. It's not so much their fault as it was my not knowing to ask enough questions, resulting in less than great planning. It was a big job, and they did their part as well as could be expected. Property owners can maybe learn from my failure to ask enough questions, but similar jobs (lots of trees removed) will leave a rough yard requiring additional follow-up ground work and clean-up."

"Loved the team at Tree Meisters. They quickly helped to set up an appointment and were in and out of the yard within an hour. Was especially happy on the final clean up. Left my yard much better then they found it. Would recommend them highly."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.
