"They did a great job taking down a big, complicated tree. We live next door to a school, and they also did a great job cleaning up. They arrived on time, and worked hard throughout the day. Highly recommended."
"Requesting a quote from and then hiring Illinois Tree Service was quick and easy. Their quote was the same as another large operation in town, but they didn't need to bring massive equipment into the yard as the other company had in the past. A large crew of men worked safely and efficiently for about six to seven hours to remove both old cottonwoods and grind their stumps. They cleaned up beautifully as they worked and left the yard free of sticks and branches. I would highly recommend them."
"Efficient, hard working, polite crew. After they were done it looked like the tree was never there. Couldn't even find a leaf. Would definitely hire this company again."
"Hugh was prompt, courteous, and extremely reasonable !! Made sure I was happy with his service. No reason to look else ware for tree stumping. Will hire again and highly recommend!! Thanks. Kirk"
"Best price all around, and the best quality work around. I had five trees removed from my property, one of which was extremely big. These guys started at 8:30 and cut all 5 trees down, removed the stumps and roots, and clean the whole property in less than 8 hours. I have already recommended these guys to two of my friends and will continue to refer them in the future. This company earned and deserved the 5 star rating across the board. Donâ t hesitate to call them!"
"The gentleman that came to do my tree were very professional very kind they cleaned up everything they cut up the wood for me and left it where I wanted it."
"Get the job done. Very quiet and they come and go, but the quality is very high. These folks may have a simple approach, but they know what they are doing. Far better service than some of the "name' brands in this field, and far more economical, too. Highly recommend Tree and Turf."
"Communication was great, the work was completed as requested, and the price was competitive. They removed a very large maple tree and trimmed other trees in the area. Highly recommend!"
We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.
Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.
Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they’re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line.
Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.
You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.
You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree.Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.
