"I am truly still blown away by the incredibly service we received from JD Trees. I was contacted within minutes of submitting our tree project and they were close to my home so came right by to check out our trees. I was given an extremely fair estimate on site and asked if Iâ d like the trees removed that day. Um, yea! They returned 2 hours later with a crew of 5 men, cut down both huge trees, buried them back in our woods, removed both stumps and impeccably cleaned everything up before heading out. All in all, it took about an hour and we were just seriously blown away! Every single member of the crew was kind and friendly, they did a fantastic job and are clearly knowledgeable and I would recommend them to anyone else in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!!"

"Grind and Gone Stump Grinding were amazing and if I ever need additional help with tree limbs, stumps or small trees they will be the first people I will call. Randy McKown was so professional and did an A plus job. I have already sent a copy of his card to a friend who may need his services. There are not enough accolades for great work. Thanks many times over. Ginny Fowler"

"They did a great job in taking down the tree near my house and cutting the branches on trees in the front and backyard near my house. They were very professional and cleaned up all the tree debris in my yard before they left. They also did a great job in grinding my tree stump a few days later! I would definitely recommend this company. Rick and Alex are very friendly and respectful of what needs to be done. They handled everything quickly and professionally! Great job guys! Thank you!"

"This was not a tree removal but a trimming/pruning of a large crepe myrtle. Initial response from Hernandez was prompt, courteous, and informative. The crew did a great job on the tree and a wonderful clean up. Very happy with the results."

"I contacted three different tree services to quote my job. The first never showed up, the second showed up three-sheets into the wind and then there was Patrica with AAA Union Tree Service. Within thirty minutes of placing my request on Angi, she sent me a text asking if she could come quote the job. Before the day was out, I had a written quote in my hand. Patricia was in the middle of a big apartment job but kept me abreast by text when they should be able to start. Her crew did a wonderful job and her associate Brenda was also very helpful in advising on how to update the exterior of the home and even brought out a beautiful shrub to show me. I can't say enough how please I am with the results of their work. I also received additional quotes before they left as I plan on making AAA Union Tree Service my go-to for all my landscaping needs! They were wonderful!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require local excavation services to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.
