"The crew did an incredible job clearing our backyard. We purchased a home that had been vacant for a while and the backyard had become extremely overgrown with a maze of dead trees and stumps everywhere. Jeremy approached the project with a "no big deal" attitude and kept us updated with many pictures and videos throughout the process. They did such a fantastic job, we highly recommend them for any forestry needs."

"I hired Stump Pros to grind my stumps and the work was far beyond what I expected . Not only was the professionalism at an all time high, the equipment was state of the art and as for the prices you won’t find a better comparison as I interviewed multiple companies and Stump Pros was the best. If you want a job well done…go with Aaron@Stomp Pros"

I take care of the dirty, heavy work that homeowners and contractors don't want to handle around Monroe, Adrian, and the surrounding areas. With a heavy-duty F-250 and a big hydraulic dump trailer, we do everything from ripping out old kitchens and tearing down sheds to clearing overgrown brush, grading land, and cleaning out gutters. We don't just show up, smash things, and leave a mess—we handle the full demolition, pack up the trailer, and haul every piece of trash straight to the landfill so your property is completely clean and ready for whatever's next. If you need a job done fast, safely, and without the corporate hassle, give me a call.

"Andy came personally to give us an estimate.  He was on time, personable and professional.  The date was set for the following week.  Crew arrived ON TIME - they worked safely and quickly.  All the work was completed as promised.  The cleanup from taking down the trees was amazing.  I highly recommend their services!"

"Ray Menefee's was very prompt for their appointment to cut down our 2 trees(remove stumps) and trim up another tree. They were very safe in their removal of the trees, and did not damage any of our property. They cut the remaining logs/branches into good sizes. They trimmed up the tree in the back yard exactly how we had envisioned it. The workers were nice. There are only 2 complaints I have about the entire process. The stump for the largest tree was not removed in its entirety and there is a small section slightly above ground. I didn't notice right away due to the wood fragments on area. There was also trash left in yard."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.
