"It was a dead tree and very shaky. They dropping it in sections and didn't damage anything. They chunked it up so we can split for burning. They stacked the wood and took small branches to burn pile. Cleaned up the really small pieces. They also put everything back where they had moved so it wouldn't be damaged. They did a great job"

"Aron and his brother Noah, were an excellent pair of workers! I had a barn fire which damaged 13 large trees I could not rebuild without having them removed. I called Triple Tree and made an appointment Aron came out the next morning he was a little bit early but text me before his arrival, we agreed that he would do the work and set a date for him to get started , Aron and his brother showed up on time and before they left that day they had 10 of the 13 trees down and cleaned up , logs stacked in my field for fire wood and all the branches chipped as well! The following morning they were again on time and this time they brought another tree expert Isaac and they cut down the last 3 huge trees that day! They worked through a steady rain all day and finished the job and cleaned up my yard before they left! These guys are awesome workers and very polite! Oh yeah the price was very reasonable and their work was great I would highly recommend them! I will definitely give them a call if I!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’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’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.

In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don’t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.

If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.
