"Alex and his crew responded to my request immediately and got the job done within a couple hours. They were already working in the neighborhood. They cut down a huge oak tree including grinding the stump and cleanups. Cost less than the rest. I absolutely recommend them."

"Ruben's Tree Services did an incredible job. We hired them to cut down our tree and grind the stump. They were outstanding proffesionals who did a fantastic job. The tree was in my backyard and hung over the house and shed so it was a difficult job and they made it look easy. They did a great job cleaning up as well. If you need work done at a reasonable price, I would highly recommend them."

"They met my expectations in cutting down one large tree, trimmed many branches off of another large tree and another smaller tree. They came back a few days later with a stump grinder to complete the job. I felt their price was reasonable for the amount of work that had to be done. I would definitely recommend Godoy’s Tree Service."

"Steve is pretty amazing and extremely quick to help me get the job done in under 24 hours. I have worked with a lot of individuals, independent contractors, and even some of the large companies. I would have thought I would ever work with some like him as many are on there time schedule or late even as far as never show up as promised. I can absolutely say this that I would never receive timely, quality work and an individual like Steve from Speedy Stump, LLC. If you need help in removing a tree stump, you’ll never regret hiring this gentleman and his company"

Customers say: Quick response

"Great company, great prices, very reliable. I needed a very large stump removed from my mothers lawn. I hit up Angieâ s list and then Josh from the Stump Brothers was the first to contact me. He quoted me over the phone and I went with him. Very nice guy and easy to do business with. Did a excellent job and ground the stump and roots around it deep. Some companies will not go to that extent leaving you with roots and parts of stump still in lawn. He also keeps his word. If he says heâ s coming out, he sticks to the appointment. I highly recommend his service and have him locked into my contact list for future use and to recommend to my friends and family. Thank you Josh and Stump Brothers for doing a great job and being an honest trusted company. A1 Mark Mason, Waterford MI"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

The recovery time for pruning depends on how much you prune, the species of tree, and how well you care for it afterward. All trees grow new wood and often sprout additional branches after pruning. Ideally, trees should recover from normal pruning after one or two years. Heavy pruning or slow-growing trees may take several years to fully recover.

Ivy eventually kills trees by restricting its growth, blocking sunlight, absorbing nutrients and water from the soil, and weakening the tree. Trees with ivy are more likely to experience diseases, pests, rot, and fungi growth. When ivy weighs down tree branches, the tree is more likely to break during a storm and cause damage.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task.
