"Outstanding service! I am so impressed with the work done on my yard. I had multiple tree stumps located on a tricky hillside slope. Other companies passed on the job because of the difficult terrain, but William was able to grind them down with ease. Not only did he complete the tough job, but he also did a fantastic job cleaning up the debris afterward. The yard looks great. Reliable, skilled, and highly recommended—I would absolutely use him again!"

"I would highly recommend this company, they were very efficient, professional and their customer service with excellent, because the tree that had to be taken down was in the middle of my fencing yard, that they were unable to use a mechanical lift, the job had actually to climb a tree, the cleanup was performed perfectly and the top of everything else, their quote was the lowest quote i received."

Customers say: Quick response

"The only negative would be that it took a while for the owner to get back to me with an estimate of how much it would cost. It took him just a little while, and the reason was he was so busy doing other jobs. The positives were: they were on time, finished on time, the job looked good, they were clean, the area they worked in was clean when they left. It looks good."

"Andrew and his crew built a hip roof over my existing front porch. My front porch is much larger than most ( 12x 11).. The cost seem high at first, however well within range of other licenced and insured contractors. Skip any contractor who is not going to pull a permit and have their work inspected . He came highlly recommended by my roofing company, as well as 2 other homeowners who had work done by his company. All had high praises for the quality of his wokmanship.. Both homeowners have had him back for other projects. The roofing company regularly recommends him and 1 other contractor if Andrew is too backed up in contracts. Yes, it is best to book early for any GOOD contractor. I believe that what sets the best contractors apart from the rest is the quality of the workers who show up to do the work. Most owners and upfront sales people talk a great sales pitch. THEN when the actual team shows up, you soon begin to realize just what you have. ARM has an amazing group oh hard woring SKILLED employees. The inspector commented on the quality of wormanship. Natually all work passed inspection. I am also booking ARM for 2 orher future projects. If you are one of those people who believes you do the work right the first time, then this is a contractor you want in your contact list. It took me quite a long time & ALOT of trial and error to finally find a good contractor.. Save yourself the effot and cost of trial & error."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it.

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove tree stumps. Leaving them in the ground can lead to several problems, as they are not only unsightly but can also reduce your property's value. Stumps can obstruct landscaping plans, make mowing difficult, and hinder new growth. More importantly, they are prime breeding grounds for pests like termites, ants, and mice, which can spread to your home and cause costly damage to its wood and foundation. Stumps also attract fungi and diseases that can infect other healthy trees and plants in your yard. As a stump decays, it might sprout new, unwanted shoots. While removing a stump is an investment, it prevents these potential issues and enhances the safety, health, and appearance of your landscape.

Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.

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.

Peach trees grow to be about 25 feet, so keep this in mind for pruning as well. If you plan to DIY, you’ll need to be comfortable working on a ladder. Without pruning, peach tree branches can sprawl nearly as wide as the tree grows tall, so make sure to plan pruning sessions at least once per year in the spring for controlled growth. And if you’re working on a ladder, be sure to follow all safety precautions, especially if you’ll be dealing with falling branches.
