"We had a huge pine tree next to our house that was hollow up to about 8' Michael put this job as one that needed to be done sooner rather than later. Michael and his team of arborists showed up on time and ready to busy. They were professional and courteous in every way imaginable. They cleaned up all debris before leaving at the end of a long day. The team worked together like clockwork. No one had to be told what to do next. There are a lot of companies who could benefit from learning such teamwork. Extremely happy with the outcome."

"One of the best contractors I have used . He was prompt and meticulous. Grinding stumps usually makes a mess but Stump Destroyer cleaned up and when he left it looked perfect. Area was wet and he could not get to the last stump. I paid him and he said he would return when it dried . Most contractors would not return BUT HE DID. Highly recommend Stump Destroyer !"

"I have used this company since 2008 and have had them cut down about 12 trees. One was a huge pine with a trunk width of about 30 inches. They have cut down a couple of poplars that were over 100 feet tall. Everything has been done safely, quickly and on time. I burn lots of wood in my fireplace and they are always willing to cut and leave short lengths of trunk for my fireplace. The price has always been reasonable, they take credit cards and will leave the chipped limbs behind to fill in low spots in my backyard. This is a great company that you can depend on."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
