"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

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions. 

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.
