"I was very impressed with this company. Our deck was old and in bad need of cleaning. It looks great. Luis taped plastic on concrete and house to avoid splashing any sealer on anything. He is very easy to work with and I would certainly recommend him for this type of job."

"Shawn doesn't live up to his promises. My tree was removed by excellent tree clmber who was to lower the branches by rope but, since Shawn forgot to tell him that the lawn was damaged. Promise broken. Tree stump was to be ground out and dirt added to fill hole. Stump is still above the ground surface so no dirt was added. Shawn left alot of saw dust over the stump to disguise this fact. Another promise broken. When I got ahold of Shawn he said that he did a great job and will not even come back to look at the stump that is a tripping, mowing hazard. Shawn will make alot of excuses after he says the job is done. Also a couple of limbs were left behind in the clean up but Shawn said how does he know that they were not already there."

Leaf Removal questions, answered by experts

A trencher can grind stumps, but it will take a lot longer and be less effective than dedicated stump grinding tools. Rather than using a trencher to grind stumps, since trenchers work best at digging in soil, use a stump grinder. This aptly named tool has blades that spin to break down a tree stump quickly and leave the roots behind to naturally decay. You can also use shears, a hatchet, a reciprocating saw, or other root removal techniques to finish the job.

For a large tree, roots can take 5 to 10 years to completely decay after a stump dies. But that’s rarely a concern for above-ground plants and growth. You can choose to grind up a stump immediately after felling a tree (although it will be tougher wood), or you can wait several months up to a year for the stump to decay. When finished, you can leave any leftover roots in the ground to decompose.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

A tree growing close to a house can cause problems, but cutting it down isn’t always the best solution. Trees planted close to your home could damage your foundation as their roots grow. In addition, they can drop large branches on your house, make it easier for critters and insects to access your home, and encourage mold growth. But if the tree has been there for a long time, it may not pose a risk to your foundation, and it could be more beneficial—not to mention cheaper—to strategically trim it instead. Your best bet is to consult an arborist for advice.

The main disadvantage of stump grinding is that it requires use of heavy and dangerous machinery, meaning you should hire a professional to tackle it, increasing the removal cost. Another drawback of stump grinding is that it can cause root decay in the root system left behind. The remaining wood may develop this type of decay, making it difficult to replant a new tree or plant in that spot in the future.
