"We hired Christian in April 2024 to remove 7 tree stumps from my yard. He was responsive from the initial contact all the way through the project. Scheduling him was easy, and he showed up the day he said he would, removed all stumps in a day, and left the property clean and just how we wanted it. We would definitely hire him again."

"Vision is great to work with! They exceeded my expectations on a walkway and garden bed rebuild. I plan to hire them again in the spring to do another walkway install in the back yard and for shrub planting."

"They are the best. I have had two other tree service companies do work for me in the past. Both were good, but Bull Pine Tree Service is the best. They are professional. They cleaned up as they were working. Work was done very fast and efficiently. Will call them again when I need more tree work done."

What I appreciated most is that he gave me several options (full job, doing it in stages...etc) so I could decide what best fit my budget. He's nice. He's local, His prices are fair. I am so glad I found SM Tree Service. I will definitely hire him again in the future!"

"Kimball and Sons were abundantly professional. Mike was responsive in his communications and flexible when I requested additional trees be taken down. The team that removed the trees were pros! They were able to take down dozens of large trees surrounding our house. I was impressed with the care they took of our property while they were here. I would certainly recommend Kimball and Sons to anyone looking to have trees removed."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

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.
