"I called Beucler for an estimate on removal of two tree stumps. There was one very large stump in our backyard and a smaller stump in our side yard. I left a message and received a call back immediately. They came by while we were at work to look at the tree stumps we wanted removed and left an estimate in our mailbox. The estimate was reasonable and we called them back to schedule a time. We didn't need to be home for the work to be done, so we scheduled a day the following week for them to come by and grind up the stumps. Very happy with the work that was done, the price and the timeliness. Was so easy since we didn't need to be home for them to provide an estimate or do the work. Would use them again for tree work, and would recommend them to neighbors.

"They did several things. The biggest takeaway is that this is professional establishment that gets the work done impeccably the first time around. The arborist is the real deal. It's not his side hustle. He only sent workers who respected me and my property. They made my middle income yard look like it belongs to homes three times the value. Nothing but a positive experience in every way."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
