"Amazing communication, professionalism, and price. Trained arborists made short work of the job. They artfully worked around dangerous obstacles without incident or delay, taking the extra time to leave the work area cleaner than they found it. I was very impressed. The crew was not at all intimidated by navigating obstacles in the city. I will definitely be calling Baumann again for future jobs."

"Jay?s was very prompt, arrived when they said. Completed what was discussed and contracted for. Cleaned up and hauled away debris. Very good service. Had to ask for extra clean up of leaves in neighbors yard where overhanging branches were removed (which was done). Did expect a little more clean up of leaves left in my yard but I took care of it."

"Mr. Baumann was relatively punctual in responding to my phone call for an appointment (given that it was summer and a prime season for tree work). He came out to the house within a few days, assessed the work, gave the price and estimated when the team would be out to do the work. His crew was very efficient, did exactly as planned and cleaned up completely. We were very satisfied with the entire experience. They even trimmed so that the remaining branches on our side were rather artfully cut --- not an electric company straight line."

Customers say: True professional

"Great work completely all the way. Perfect clean up. I believe my yard looks way better now than before they started the job. Excellent service and knowledge for the work and I believe I'm calling them 1st for any outdoor work in the future. Will be calling back for any season work I can't do myself outside."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

The exact answer to this question depends on which region of the country you’re talking about, but according to various tree counts, some of the most common types of trees in the United States include red maple, Douglas fir, quaking aspen, loblolly pine, and sweetgum.

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.

It enhances property aesthetics, improves tree health, and prevents safety hazards.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall.
