Q: What is the typical duration for removing a tree from commercial properties?

• <div><p>Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.</p></div>

Q: Will painting a stump stop it from growing?

• <div><p>Yes, if you &ldquo;paint&rdquo; or brush a freshly cut stump with a specialty herbicide containing glyphosate within five minutes of cutting the fresh surface, the stump will soak up the herbicide and prevent new growth. One application often works, but you might have to re-paint two to four weeks later if you see growth.</p></div>

Q: What tools do I need for tree removal?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tools-used-tree-removal.htm">best tools for tree removal</a> include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won&rsquo;t be effective for medium to large trees. </p></div>

"Alex called me as soon I put in the request for lawn care services and was willing to come by the same day for a quote. He came the next day to mow and was prompt, professional, and upfront about his services and prices. We had just moved into our home and the yard had not been mowed in quite some time. He had it all cut quickly. We will be continuing to use his services and recommending him to others in the area!!"
