"Outstanding service and quality of work from Wright Asset Solutions! We had one giant stump and several other midsized and smaller stumps all over our 10 acre property that needed to be removed. Also needed some pruning work done on several trees - the project was tacked with speed and expertise. Price was fair and stumps are gone and trees are pruned! This company gets my highest recommendation! Thank you."

"Tyler, from Trees and Mostly Stumps, replied immediately to my request for stump removal. He was very professional and most importantly to me, he was prompt! He was able to come within the next day to remove 2 stumps. Much to my surprise, the price I paid was lower than what I had already agreed to over the phone. Once he got to the location of the stumps and saw that the stumps were smaller than what I had described, he then lowered the price from the quote we agreed to over the phone. He is honest and trust worthy! The stumps are gone and he did not leave any debris! I would highly recommend Trees and Mostly Stumps for all of your stump removal!"

"Will be using this company for all my lawn needs from now on. They were the only company that was upfront and honest about what my trees really needed. I had two removed that were diseased and splitting and the other tree only needed treated and cut back. They saved one of my trees everyone else wanted to take down. They treated the areas for termites after removing the bad trees and planted grass seed for me as well. They cleaned up all their mess! All of the men were very respectful to my neighbors and their properties as well. If you need an honest complete service crew that will respect you and your property as well as not break the bank…do yourself a favor and call them! Thank you so much for making my yard beautiful!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.

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.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster.
