"Midwest Tree Surgeons did a great job of removing a 60 year old sweet gum tree in our backyard. No damage was done to a chain link fence directly below one side, and they even relocated two, heavy, concrete bird baths until they were finished. The owner, Christian, is a licensed arborist and actually did all of the climbing. He even returned today, a Sunday, to remove chips left from the stump grinding. My only complaint was the ruts left in the lawn from their tractor tires. This company gave us the lowest bid, and I have already referred them to a friend."

"I contacted STL Tree Services about a tree that I had that potentially needed to be removed. They came out and gave me a quote that I was really happy with. The quote included stump and root removal, which was what I wanted. They recommended removing the tree for multiple reasons, which I agreed with. They also let me know that there might be damage to the grass in my yard due to the equipment being used to remove the stump and roots. The crew came out to perform the removal and did a great job. They were fast and took care of the clean up. One of the guys gave me a heads up about any roots that might be left and explained that they would have to tear up quite a bit of my yard to remove them. He recommended that I leave them since they were small and shouldn’t hurt the lawnmower. He also gave me some recommendations regarding other trees that I had in my yard. When they left, there really wasn’t that much damage to my yard. I was originally a little nervous about how much damage would occur since I saw a few other reviewers mention it. It was pretty minor in my opinion, but I had also avoided watering in that area to make sure the ground would be dry when they came. Overall I had a great experience and was really impressed with the crew. The only thing that I wish had been a little better was the communication that I had with the office. I found out that they only call you a week before they are scheduled to come out and perform the service. It wasn’t really that big of a deal, but it was a few weeks before they got to me so I began to question whether or not they forgot about me. However, the office was quick to reply to my phone call and email when I reached out asking about this. I also found out that there would be a fee if you used a credit card. If I had known that ahead of time then I would have just wrote a check and given it to the crew. Now I have to mail a check to avoid the fee. Once again, really not the end of the world, but would have been nice to know ahead of time. I would absolutely recommend this company to my friends!"

"Great work. Showed up on time. Team hit the ground running. Due to space considerations and the size of the tree, the crew had to drop the tree manually. They moved yard “stuff” (birdbath , etc.) that might be in the trees path. Very professional. Team constantly raking and picking up debris. When they were done they left a very clean space behind, with no yard divots and only a little sawdust. We had a very large tree, and they had it down and out in four hours. Victor was our contact and he was very professional and explained every step of the process. Highly recommend. We are scheduling A & M for additional tree work in the fall."

"The crew of 5 worked methodically to remove and trim the trees and then cut up the trunk of the large Hickory making it easy to move for my husband. My yard/driveway was clean and tidy when Mike and his crew left. They had to deal with a children's play set, a horse fence and mature plantings all while the large tree was down......could not have asked for better results! Will recommend Baumann Tree Service and we will use their services again.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove tree stumps. Leaving them in the ground can lead to several problems, as they are not only unsightly but can also reduce your property's value. Stumps can obstruct landscaping plans, make mowing difficult, and hinder new growth. More importantly, they are prime breeding grounds for pests like termites, ants, and mice, which can spread to your home and cause costly damage to its wood and foundation. Stumps also attract fungi and diseases that can infect other healthy trees and plants in your yard. As a stump decays, it might sprout new, unwanted shoots. While removing a stump is an investment, it prevents these potential issues and enhances the safety, health, and appearance of your landscape.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.

It depends on where you live—but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity. 

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.
