"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."

"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!"

"BTR responded within a few minutes of my request. They arrived as stated to bbn give their quote. The tree was spit down the center of the trunk all the way to fairly close to the ground. They offered to strap it together to hold it so that it didn't fall on the neighbor's house and deck. My husband didn't see the need. They arrived the next day as stated and went to work. They also ground remaining tree roots from a locust tree removed several years ago which continued to send up new growth. They were excellent at protecting the neighbor's property and ours. They did an excellent job of grinding the stump of the tree they removed. They also did an excellent job of finding and grinding the locust tree roots that were problematic. The person who stayed to do the grinding also did cleanup. He did an excellent clesnup. There was a large pile of remaining woodchips. He offered me the removed maple tree woodchips which i accepted and have used for mulch. These guys were excellent start to finish as opposed to the company i used several years ago who left tree roots from three trees that had to be removed. This company had the crew and equipment to expertly and efficiently handle the job. They were professional and courteous. I am glad we used Angi this time instead of friend referral. I would highly recommend BTR!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

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.

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.
