Q: Can professionals handle stump removal in areas that are difficult to access?

• <div><p>Yes, using specialized equipment designed for narrow or sloped spaces.</p></div>

Q: What tools do I need for tree removal?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tools-used-tree-removal.htm">best tools for tree removal</a> include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won&rsquo;t be effective for medium to large trees. </p></div>

Q: What insurance is needed for stump grinding?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re hiring a company to perform stump grinding&mdash;or any home service for that matter&mdash;you&rsquo;ll want them to at least have general liability insurance and worker&rsquo;s compensation insurance. This type of coverage protects both you and the business in the case of any accidents. Professional liability insurance and inland marine insurance plans are also important for tree companies to have. Ask any pro you&rsquo;re considering hiring about licenses and insurance coverage before booking the job.</p></div>

Q: Do removal services include stump grinding?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.</p></div>

Q: Can you plant a tree where a stump was removed?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-plant-tree-where-stump-removed%E2%80%8B.htm">whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed</a>, know that the soil conditions won&rsquo;t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It&rsquo;s best to choose a different spot that&rsquo;s at least<b> three feet away</b> for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant. </p></div>

Mike quoted the needed repairs. I accepted his quote, and gave the OK to start work. At the end of the first day, Mike came to me and said he missed some rotted wood on the project and that if I wanted it fix it would be an extra $350.00 plus the cost of the additional supplies. This put the...
