"This job went so much smoother than I ever could have hoped. The owner was very prompt, courteous, and professional in all our dealings, the workers were professional.... everything about their work was outstanding. They took less time that I had figured, and hauled away all the wood and left the property in good shape. I highly recommend Progressive Tree Service!!!"

"We had a large pine tree that was dead and intertwined in our power lines. Crew came out and removed the tree, including grinding down the stump. After they were done, my yard looked pristine! The power lines remained intact and uninterrupted. Clean up was impecable! I highly recommend Progressive Tree Service. Just felt bad that it wasn't clear the day they were coming and didnt have my gate unlocked for them. Neighbors continue to compliment the work, and we couldn't be happier. Pricing was extremely fair. PLEASE consider using this service."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.

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.

You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.
