"Pittman Tree Service removed 4 trees from our property. Two of the trees were right next to our house. He did a great job! Removed the trees & stumps. He did such a great job you canâ  t even tell where the trees were. He even made sure not to leave any ruts with his equipment. Also reasonably priced!!"

"We did a lot of research to compare pricing and the quality of work because we have had other jobs that we contracted out that we were not happy with and everyone I spoke to said he did a great job. I think its because he is passionate about his work."

"I had a 20 ft.+ tree sitting beside my home that had been struck by lightning multiple times and was rotting. I searched Google and requested someone for a quote. Not even 20 mins later Mr. Levi called and came the same day and gave me a reasonable quote. The very next morning he arrived with his crew and they got the tree down in no time. They were very professional, respectful, and polite. They also moved an old lawn mower and cleaned up after they were done. I would highly recommend.! I'll be scheduling again soon to get other trees (25 ft. +) in our yard trimmed down."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.
