I’m a jack of all trades. I was raised to work hard and I have experience in multiple areas. I do excavation for my full time job so I am just looking for a little extra work on the side. I have a truck and trailer so my services can expand beyond what is listed. Thank you for the opportunity!

"They did a great job! Fast and efficient. Came home to 4 trees gone and one trimmed. They cleaned up the mess, which was great not to worry about! Price was very fair. I would recommend them and would hire again if I need other trees removed or trimmed."

"Wow. I almost never write reviews. But these guys went so far above and beyond anything I expected, I want to shout it from the mountaintops. The best price of several quotes, no hidden charges, one day service, quick, efficient and super friendly. They are more professional than any national franchise or chain I've ever dealt with. I contacted several companies for my project. Most involved leaving a message, waiting for a call back from someone in another office who 'took' information I already provided and still saying they would have to work on the details and have someone else call me back. Even after I stressed that I was under a tight deadline, some didn't call back until the deadline passed. (A few actually advertised same-day service which is clearly not true when they don't even return your call in one day). I had a household that needed packed and moved quickly for an unexpected sale that happened before the property was even listed. I promised to have it cleared out in 2 days before I realized it may not be so easy to do that. Leondre' responded quickly, provided a flat rate quote (not a list of extra fees and surcharges), scheduled an appointment, arrived on time and flawlessly tackled a project that would have taken me forever- in just a few hours. When we spend hundreds of dollars a month in the wealthiest grocery/discount store in the world; sweating through their aisles while trying to maneuver past pallets blocking the path, then waiting in line for what seems like hours because they only have one of their 20+ lanes open- still doing the loading and bagging work ourselves- you have to wonder how a guy like Leondre' would improve customer service (and sales) if he were in charge of this international corporation. I wish all businesses operated like his and I will call him every time I need any of the many services his company provides."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

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 may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.
