"Mike from Behind the Grind was excellent. I had a small stump in the front of my yard that we needed to grind. He was prompt, friendly, professional, and gave a fair price. I would highly recommend!"

"G & G Landscaping did a great job! They took down 2 large trees, removed the stumps, and cleared away a lot of overgrown brush. They had to deal with some snow and very cold weather.…that did not deter them. They worked diligently for 3 days to get the job done. I am extremely happy with their work, professionalism, and the price was very fair."

"I had a large Southern Oak tree which needed to be removed. Given the size of the tree and nearby electrical wires, I was very anxious about the job. Extremely talented crew. They were highly skilled, worked hard and worked as a team. I was amazed at their work. They removed the tree without using heavy equipment or downing the electrical wires, requirements presented by other tree service companies. They offered a very competitive price. A couple neighbors came over and were impressed with the job. They did what other tree services said could not be done. I was so impressed that I tipped each of the men."

"Brandon the owner was a pleasure to work with. I had him trim 3 large oak trees and remove 5 or 6 smaller trees. He also did the stump grinding. It was all done in a morning. They cleaned up everything, and you couldn't even tell they had been here by 1 PM."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.

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. 

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.
