"I hired grind pros to remove a stump in my front yard. It's a small front yard with a LARGE maple tree that had been an eye sore for years. Justin got it out of there in an afternoon with ease. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend grind pros for stump removal services."

"Jeremiah came out to give us an estimate which was comparable to another estimate I had received. The reason I decided Jeremiah was right for the job is that he is a certified arborist and actually has a lot of knowledge of trees. He and his crew were professional and friendly. They cleaned up nicely after they were done. They even swept the leaves off of my deck that had fallen there before they arrived. I would hire them again."

"The two gentlemen worked nonstop throughout the day to remove our diseased trees and to trim many trees that had been damaged by previous storms and were overgrown and damaging other trees in our yard. They shredded and mulched all of the branches and cut the pieces that we wanted to keep into appropriate sizes so that we could manage them. They did a thorough job of raking and cleaning up our property before they left. They truly did an excellent job and I would not hesitate to hire them again. thank you to Shane and Robert for a job well done! Truly deserving of a five star review!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

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.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

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.
