"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."

"Brad came out to give us a quote to trim and or remove two large oak trees in our back yard as well as some trimming on other trees; with the quote he gave us, we decided to have both oak trees removed. Brian and Fred removed both trees and did the trimming on the other trees in less than two full days. They were very efficient, patient with our requests, were safety minded, and cleaned up everything so well that you could hardly tell what all they did! We were very impressed and thankful for the timely turnaround from start to finish for our project! we highly recommend Mr. Bill's Land Tree Snow, and will definitely call them again as we have a need! We had received 3 quotes for this project, and their's was the most reasonable."

"Christian Bros. Review In April we hired Christian Bros. Outdoor Services, LLC in Fremont to remove a 3 foot 3â  diameter x 65-foot-tall oak tree from our backyard. We had three companies quote the project with Christian Bros. being very competitive. Jay was our primary contact with Ben and two other men being the team that took down the tree. Safety for the workers and protection of collateral property was paramount and very obvious as Ben scaled the tree and took it down a branch and piece at a time. Everyone was very respectful to my wife and I and patient with us as we went back and forth with catering to family that wanted the wood, but were naà ¯ve to the scope of work to handle such huge logs. The reason we hired a tree rigger instead of the typical crane and bucket crew was because of potential damage to our yard and in-ground sprinkling system. Obviously, with the equipment needed to bring down and handle such a big tree some yard damage was inevitable. Divots and vehicle tracks are repairable with a little fill and grass seed. The best part of the experience was watching Ben take the monster down. He shimmied up the tree with large branches being let down on ropes. He was clearly a master of knots! We are very glad we hired Christian Brothers. Iâ  m a little jealous of Ben though, my wife really liked his English accent."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

If you’re wondering why tree trunks are painted white in your area, it’s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it’s something that affects your trees.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.
