"Wonderful; the entire experience was wonderful. Matt contacted me via email and via phone, before scheduling to come out for an estimate. When he came out, he LISTENED to us, when we mentioned that we only wanted an estimate to trim the dead branches. Every other company we tasked ignored our request to only trim the dead branches, and tried to up-sell us additional trimming services that we did not ask for, nor want. After their current lead time, they came out and did a perfect job trimming the tree. Matt even stopped by to make sure we were satisfied. I recommend this company, 100%! We will likely go with them again."

"The team was very punctual and thorough throughout the tree removal and tree trimming process. While they were working on the project I added some additional requests which they gladly took care of at a minimal cost. The team worked hard, took no breaks, and were very professional. I would strongly recommend them, and plan to continue working with them for other tree and landscaping projects."

Customers say: Quick response

"Great Job! They removed a huge tree in our backyard. They arrived on time within a week of me hiring them. They came on a Saturday so I could be home when they cut down the tree. They were the only quote I got that did not require the electricity to my house be turned off for the day, as the electric wire went under the tree. It ended up not being a problem for them! They cleaned up the yard and my roof afterwards. The price they quoted was great! Very satisfied with their job! Would highly recommend them!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require local excavation services to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.
