"Bart Flanagan Tree Service was responsive and fairly priced. They did a great job quickly and efficiently. So happy to not have those large limbs hanging over my back yard!"

"Major shout out to Bowdoin BOYS tree service. We had a very difficult tree to cut down on a very steep Hill. These guys were in and out in an hour and a half. AJ was super responsive and called me within an hour of posting on Angie's List. He was here that afternoon to give us an estimate. He stayed in contact with us and was here within a week to do the job. Super friendly and professional. We will certainly use them again."
"The Tree Doctor's pricing was very reasonable. The team worked well together in ensuring that the trees were removed in a safe manner. Cones were placed to ensure safety of the crew and of passing traffic as the work was in a tight area near the road. Once the trees were fully taken down the crew took exceptional care to clean-up all fallen wood, branches and bark debris and took care of finding the best wood/biomass plant to take all the fallen material. The entire crew was pleasant and professional. I would hire them again."
"Spencer and his crew were prompt to getting to work and asked questions before starting the job( to verify the job). They worked during the whole job, they did not screw around and was all business. Spencer and his crew were safe at all times and always seemed to know what the other was going to do. Spencer?s price was very reasonable and never changed.. highly recommend Line to Limb is you have any tree work that you would like done. Thank you"

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.
Peach trees don’t tend to live as long as other types of trees and crops. They tend to last only about 12 years, and you shouldn’t expect to see a full peach harvest each of those years, either. Young peach trees need a few years to get established before they produce fruit, but you should have plenty of peaches for your pies and cobblers during their mature years, around years four through eight.
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.
Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth.
If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.
While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.
