"Umberto and his crew did a great and efficient job taking down and chipping two large trees in my yard. They fulfilled my special requests, replaced the fences they had to take down, and were very careful not to disturb my garden beds. Umberto is a certified arborist, yet charged me the same price I was quoted by other companies that were just general landscapers. He was friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. Highly recommended."

Razorback Stump Removal offers a specialist stump grinding service (we do not take down whole trees) throughout the Chicago Northwest suburbs and beyond. Using a modern grinder, our equipment can reach seemingly inaccessible places to grind any size of stump down to from six to twelve inches below the surface. You can then use your ground for normal gardening or landscaping, and you can even use the mulch produced from the process to fertilize your newly reclaimed garden! WE DO NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO HAUL ANYTHING AWAY AND DO NOT DO WHOLE TREE REMOVALS. We can tackle a wide variety of stump removal tasks. Our equipment will gain access through gates as narrow as 36 inches, and remove even the biggest stump.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

Planting a palm tree close to your home can provide shade while elevating the beauty of your yard. However, there are a few safety concerns to consider before doing so. You’ll want to opt for a smaller tree with a non-invasive root system. Select a species that won’t grow too tall and choose a planting location that won’t damage your home.

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.
