"Mr. Rantz is a friendly, down-to-earth guy who definitely knows how to get rid of a tree stump. Severe storms rolled through NW Springfield in late April 2025. Unfortunately, we had to have a maple tree cut down. The tree company’s guy wanted $1150 to grind the stump and haul the sawdust. Mr. Rantz did it for $600 and did as thorough a job as I could’ve asked for. Five out of five stars. If you need to get rid of a stump on your property, hire Sam Rantz’s Stump Grinding - you’ll be glad you did."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

Early signs that a tree is struggling include premature leaf shedding and lesions or other strange markings. Peeling bark, dead or rotten branches on the ground, and a conspicuous lack of leaves can all be signs that a tree has started to die. By the time a tree starts leaning, it’s usually too far gone to save.

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.

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

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.
