"The Tim Mente crew performed the felling of six dead mature trees on our property with great skill, care and professionalism. Two very large trees adjacent to our neighbor's property line were dismantled in sections and gently lowered to the ground. Not a single branch fell into the nearby yard. Our lawn was swept free of all debris and chipped. We will use this byproduct for mulch. Logs were removed very skillfully by a worker operating a Toro tracked Dingo. Plywood was laid down to protect our lawn. The company is licensed and insured to a sufficient level. The total job price was very competitive and significantly less than the top bidder. Tim Mente's crew earned an A+ rating from us. We most definitely would recommend them to others and, when needed, call upon their services again."

"Mr. Hill and his wife came out and surveyed the trees in the ground within two days to see what I would like to have done. We thought it would take weeks for them to use as a starting date for it to be done they showed up on time and within three days. I was taken down and away and done exactly how I wanted to be. The grounds are so clear you can’t even tell that we had a tree down and limbs all over the place. It was a very fair price and I would hire Mr. Hill again."

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.

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.

Not all evergreen conifers need to be pruned, but some do. Pruning pine trees is not necessary, but you can do so during June and July if you wish. On the other hand, spruce, firs, and junipers do need to be pruned from late winter to early spring.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.
