"Jeff Brown responded to my Angi request within an hour. He was pleasant and professional. He scheduled an appointment the next day for a quote. His quote was very reasonable and he came prepared to do the work right then. He did the grinding and blew debris off the driveway in less than half an hour. He offered multiple payment options for the customer's convenience. I will absolutely recommend him to anyone I know who needs tree stumps removed!"

"Wonderful!! They contacted me the same day I posted on Angi and took down the trees a few days later. They came back within a week to trim a couple bushes and lay all of the mulch! We also hired them to cut our grass for the season. They were prompt, reasonably priced, friendly and did a great job! I would definitely recommend them!"

"I looked for some tree service to be done in and around my house and was quoted several prices. Mabes Tree Service was by far the cheapest so the work was in order. Dustin Mabe ( owner) was very personable as was his entire crew. They did excellent work, cleaned up the area nicely. After the fact i decided to bring them back to take out 7 stumps which they promptly and efficiently did. I highly recommend Mabes Tree Service for tree removal and stump grinding. Give them a call throw them your business. You'll be glad you did."

They did a great job cutting the tree down, removing the cuttings, cleaning the yard. and removing the stump. His team was hard working, professional and very courteous. The price for job was very reasonable and I will use him in the future for all my tree work. Pete H Lexington"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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. 

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.
