"It went well. They were just a little late getting to us, but they had a good reason and called beforehand to let us know. They worked quickly but were still careful not to damage anything. The owner is a young man but very responsible and hard working. Would def hire again."

"Little Stump's Tree Service and Stump Removal = Excellent and Professional service. Not only was all work performed as requested but exceeded my expectations. I initially contacted Little Stump's Tree Service to obtain a quote for the removal of five very large stumps, four of which were better than three feet in diameter and at least thirty inches in height. However, after talking to Frank, in person, I felt comfortable with him and that he is an honest person to deal with. Therefore, in addition to the original five stumps we added another thirteen stumps to the deal making it a total of eighteen stumps to be removed. All work was performed efficiently and professionally resulting in the area surrounding each stump being immediately cleaned after removal and no unsightly mess being left behind. Frank and his partner Lonnie worked together like clockwork, one knowing and anticipating the otherâ s next move. I highly recommend Little Stump's Tree Service and Stump Removal for your next Tree Service and/or Stump Removal Project. In fact, I've already contacted two of my friends in need of their services and passed along my recommendations."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

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.

No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees.
