Customers say: True professional

"Yes, the branches were cut (I was the one pointing out sometimes, instead of the foreman. However, there were a large branch with many limbs left untouched and another branch that were not removed from where they fell by the fence and other tree. The cleanup could have been much better. )We did take photos."

"Brandon and his team built a beautiful wooden 12 x 16 deck around part of my new above-ground swimming pool, turning my pool area into an oasis. They also built a wonderful 8 x 8 foot hut for my barbecue grill. It has a safe metal roof and sits adjacent to my swimming pool, allowing me to grill hotdogs and hamburgers right there at the pool for hungry swimmers. In addition to the deck and grill hut, Brandon also professionally rebuilt my deteriorating 4-stair stairway that joined my back deck to the backyard ground level. He also built a lovely, curvy, cool-touch sidewalk joining my back deck, grill hut, and pool deck. In addition, Brandon ran an electric circuit from my main house circuit breaker panel out to the grill hut, swimming pool deck area, and the pump filter motor. I could not be happier with how everything turned out and I would no hesitate to hire him again. Biloxi Bob"

Arborists FAQs, 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.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.
