"Mike Thomas, the owner/operator responded to my call promptly. He came to my home within a few days and presented me with a written statement of cost on completion. My neighbors and I were able to schedule the stump grinding within a short period of time that fit our schedule. The work was completed as described in the work order. Mike arrived on time and completed the job in a neat and orderly fashion. I would recommend him to anyone including family and friends."

"CG Arborist Services did an outstanding job trimming the trees in my yard. They arrived as scheduled and stayed the entire day trimming the 12 plus trees in my yard, one of which I actually had them cut down completely. Not only did they do a great job trimming and cutting down my trees, but they also did a great job cleaning up afterwards, too. I would highly recommend CG Arborist Services to anyone looking to have professional tree work done in their yard at an excellent price."

Then they cleaned the roof of sawdust as well as the yard. they were very professional and friendly. I will recomend them to everone that needs a tree removed and wants a great price. Harry Kellogg"

"They arrived promptly and made sure we discussed the job again before starting. They were great to keep me updated as they worked to cut the tree down, and break up the trunk into the sizes I wanted. They cleaned the area and took care to make sure we were happy with everything before they left. We are planning to use them again for another job."

"We needed a large back garden weeded and due to medical issues neither my husband nor I had been able to work on it this summer. I hired Manny from OCare Landscaping and we could not be more pleased! He came and looked at what needed to be done, messaged me a quote within an hour,( a more than fair price!), and returned the next morning with one of his employees to oversee the start of the job. His employee , Derek, got the entire yard done very quickly and we were so pleased that we had them return the next day to clean out another area of the yard, and today to move several large items in our home. They were both professional, courteous, and extremely hardworking, we will definitely use OCare again in the future!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.
