"They arrived early and proceeded to get to work. There were about 4 or 5 guys working on the team. I didn't want a one-man show. I wanted a team of guys to work on my yard. They ground every stump in my yard and trimmed the trees near my pool. They removed each stump and blew away any remaining debris in my driveway. When they finished, I pointed out an additional tree to trim. They quickly trimmed the tree and removed the limbs. I'm glad I selected Smart Choice Tree Service. They did an excellent job at a fair price! I would definitely recommend them and hire them again."

Customers say: Quality work

"We had a very dangerous, unstable tree situation following a storm. Quality Tree Service responded within 15 minutes of my early Sunday message and came out to make a plan and advise us on safety issues. They took it down without damaging neighborâ s trees, saved our fence and made plans for further work. The price was very reasonable. I would recommend Chris Young and his crew for anyone in Central Mississippi."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

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.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.
