"I needed a dead ash tree over 80' tall removed. They came:
- on time
- accessed a difficult location
- voluntarily repaired a bit of fence the tree damaged with no fuss or waiting
- did NOT inflate their estimate!
- Cleaned up the mess
- Were polite, professional, and kind
***on top of that - the price was the best! (I've had 4 big trees die and need to be removed in the last five years - so I know)"
"GL Developments is a top notch company with outstanding customer service! I?ve personally seen the work performed, whether it was concrete being poured for a house foundation or shop floor to complete home remodeling. You will not be disappointed with this crew! Definitely will be using them in all my future projects!!"
"Outstanding! Not only were they here the day following my request for a quote, but they also were able to do the job within a week of my go-ahead. I then changed me mind about stump removal the day after they took down the tree and they came back that same day and completed my other request. OUTSTANDING SERVICE and the kicker is that they were lowest bid of 3 different tree service companies in the area!"
"We had multiple very large trees that needed to be trimmed. Jackson gave us a very fair price and did great work. He was always in great communication as well!"
"They were good company and always did a good job. They were very professional. They did what they said they gonna do. They were honest and detailed. They had a reasonable price. They did exactly what they said they gonna do."
"Missouri Stump Grinding Company was fantastic to work with. They were able to clear out stumps left after having several trees removed. They were professional and so easy to work with. He responded by text and phone when we reached out to him. They did a great job not only grinding the stumps but also grinding up some of the big surface roots which made it easier for us to level the ground."
"highly recommend. We needed a retaining wall And border built in front of our house. Andrew not only called soon after I requested it online, he came out the next day, called that evening with an estimate we considered very fair, and started work the next morning. They were done by the following evening and it looks BEAUTIFUL! My husband and I are very happy with their work. And Andrew was very pleasant and personable, as were all the workers. We will be hiring them again for future projects."
"Caden did a great job in helping an old friend restore the look of his yard that the friend is no longer capable of doing it himself. Caden has already been asked to help with other projects!"
There are a few things you should look for in a stump removal company to make sure you’ll be satisfied with the results:
Proper business licensing and insurance
History of positive reviews
Good rating with the Better Business Bureau
We also recommend asking any company you’re considering the following questions to help find the best value:
Will you remove the roots as well as the stump?
Will you haul away wood chips or large portions of the stump?
What method will you use to remove the stump?
You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.
While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.
The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees.
It’s possible, although a lot depends on the cause of damage and what steps you take. If the remaining parts of the maple tree are alive and not under attack by disease or pests, they can often be saved even if large portions of the maple tree have died. Frequent watering, careful pruning, mulch, and any recommended fungicides or insecticides can all help with survival.
