"Did a fantastic job on both the tree removal and the landscaping ( they remolded three bushes like you wouldn't believe.. They are coming back again to do additional work and I have referred them to my daughter also. Next year when I have additional money I am definitely having them back to remove some more trees. They were all very polite and friendly and did an excellent cleanup job."

"Owner/arborist was forthcoming in discussing the work, reviewed options, pros & cons, and provided his expertise about the trees and work in question. He came on the day, actually offered an early day (which I couldn't take advantage of but was great to be asked!), and did all the work efficiently and effectively. They cleaned up the branches, etc wonderfully! Jim was great and I'd recommend them without reservation."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work from BMG Stump Grinding! From the first time I reached out, they were friendly, professional, and easy to work with. They did a great job removing the stump and cleaned everything up so well afterward that you could hardly tell it was ever there. It’s always nice to find a company that takes pride in their work and treats you like a person, not just another job. I really appreciate how smoothly everything went and would absolutely recommend BMG Stump Grinding to anyone who needs a stump removed. Great service and great people!"

Arborists 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.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. 

Unlike some fruit trees, such as apple, sweet cherry, or pear that require at least two trees for pollination, most peach trees are self-pollinating. This means you can plant just one tree and still expect it to produce fruit, typically within two to four years. For best results, consult with a local landscaper to choose the right peach tree variety for your specific climate, soil type, and yard layout.
