"Jed came out to help with a large tree that had been damaged during a storm. He did a fabulous job of dropping limbs without making a big mess and made sure to clean up after. He did the same thing for our neighbor. This person really knows how to drop a tree exactly where he wants it to land."

"Very well! A storm blew a large tree branch onto the roof of our garage. I had their business card and called Advance Tree Service for a free quote, and the owner, himself, was at my house in 10 minutes! He was very busy that day with all the storm damage but made sure he and his crew took care of the heavy branch that same day, so the roof would not become further damaged. The remainder of the tree was unhealthy and took a couple more visits to be completely removed. They cleaned everything up just beautifully when they were finished. I will definitely hire them again!"

"Oh my goodness! The whole process could not have gone smoother. I was a little nervous about hiring someone but when Henry (I think that was his name) showed up he gave me an estimate to remove the tree and to grind the stump and since it seemed like a fair price so I decided then and there to have A 1 do the work. I did as much research as I could before calling around and one of the things that leaned me to go towards A 1 is because they are donors for The Special Olympics. This is a population of people that I work with and I like being able to support someone who supports these wonderful people. When Henry left, after giving me the quote I realized that I did not get a written quote but I decided to let it go and trust that he was a man of his word and I was not disappointed. It is refreshing to find people who actually say what the mean and mean what the say without having to have things in writing. Henry called me the day before letting me know when the crew would be there to take down the tree. The day of I received a call from Dave, I think it was, letting me know they were there to take remove the tree. When I got home I saw where the tree used to be. They cleaned the area very nicely. I am so pleased with the work they did and I will not hesitate to call them again."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

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.

Tree pruning is a common and helpful tree maintenance technique that involves carefully cutting and trimming unwanted branches so that the tree can continue to grow and thrive. Pruning is done carefully and intentionally. Tree topping is a frowned-upon method that involves removing and cutting most or the entirety of the top of the tree, including structurally important branches.

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.

There are a few things you should look for in a stump removal company to make sure you’ll be satisfied with the results:

  • Proper business licensing and insurance

  • History of positive reviews

  • Good rating with the Better Business Bureau

We also recommend asking any company you’re considering the following questions to help find the best value:

  • Will you remove the roots as well as the stump?

  • Will you haul away wood chips or large portions of the stump?

  • What method will you use to remove the stump?
