"Big Dave is a big blessing for our family. We had an enormous tree in our yard that was dropping branches like darts in our yard. Dave worked with us and removed the tree and the stump. This company is very family-friendly, professional, and all-around good people. Dave communicated with us all the way through the process and cleaned up more than we expected. I just wish more businesses were like Big Daves Tree Service. We could not have had a better experience. Thank you so much, we are forever grateful!"

"Alex came out for the estimate. Professional in every way. Good/ Fair price for tree & stump removal. The crew was quick to arive and remove the tree & debris with the stump grind a couple days after. Very happy with the overall experience. Have already recommended them for their tree services."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Ensures complete removal and mitigates risks of underground root damage.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

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.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.
