"I watched the team the whole time they were working. The gentleman who did the majority of the tree cutting was an artist. The precision with which he could drop a tree amazed me. They had no wiggle room where the trees were between two houses and power lines. Yet they were all dropped precisely. One of the trees had to be brought down in sections and again it was a precise process. The cleanup after the cutting was good. Tree removal can be a messy job with lots of lawn damage but this team minimized the lawn damage and cleaned up before they left. They were fast and efficient and amazing to watch. My neighbors were so impressed they also requested quotes from AC for tree removal. No regrets at all."

"I had about 20 stumps. The young man and assistant were verry thorough. Ground them all down to mulch. One stump had a metal fence post and he worked around it. He reviewed each stump at the end. I would recommend to anyone!!"

"They did a great job with the removal of several trees and trimming limbs in my yard. The job was described to me in detail and I was given several options on how to get the job done. Upon completion, they left the area very clean. I would hire them again and recommend them to anyone needing similar services."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Palm tree removal can cost anywhere between $100 and $1,800 depending on palm size, tree condition, labor, location, and the amount of prep work involved. With the necessary skills, a DIY palm tree removal for trees shorter than 15 feet can lower costs. However, it’s generally recommended that you hire a palm tree expert for tree removal.

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. 

Local tree removal prices range from $200 to $2,000 overall, but vary depending on:

  • Local cost of labor and supplies

  • Accessibility of the tree

  • Local laws regarding who is allowed to remove the tree

  • The species of the tree (softer woods are often easier to remove)

  • Local seasonal discounts for the off-season

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.
