"I had a great experience with Maine Roots Stump Grinding. Lucas took care of two stumps for me and did an amazing job! Communication was excellent from start to finish. Lucas was friendly, prompt, and easy to work with. Both stump sites look great. What a difference it makes in how my yard looks to have the stumps taken out. I really appreciate the quality of the job and would definitely recommend this service to anyone needing stump grinding."

"I called Travis in early July to come and estimate the cost to remove a 36 year-old 60-70' tall Catalpa tree ( the one that has orchid-like flowers and then grows long green beans). He came over that same day to look things over and gave us a very fair estimate. We decided then and there to sign on to have it scheduled for sometime this summer or early fall. He expected it would be mid to late August, which was perfect for us. He called us around noon on Monday August 24, asking if he could come over and drop that tree in a half-hour or so. We said yes and he was there in 20 minutes with a bucket truck, a dump truck, and a big chipper. They got set up in a heartbeat and within 1 hour the tree was limbed, taken down in sections except for an 8' section of the trunk, and all of it chipped and in the truck, thanks to Travis and Butch. Next they felled the trunk and used the boom to load the trunk pieces into the dump truck with the chips. A few minutes work with rakes cleaned up all the small debris and the job was done. The skill and proficiency they showed was amazing to watch. Every move each man made was perfectly synced to the other man's actions. Real teamwork at its best! We are so impressed by TLC Tree in every aspect and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services. They are the BEST, hands down, no doubt, amen.Thanks, Travis and Butch!!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Tree removal costs typically don’t include stump removal, as that technically falls into a different service. The company you hire may offer the service for an additional fee; ask them if they offer it to ensure you get the best tree stump removal costs possible.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

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.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Homeowners are usually not responsible for trees that fall on power lines. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.
