"G & G Landscaping is amazing! We had a huge 25 ft beam that fell on our neighborâ s fence in Watervliet, NY. I sent G & G a request late at night; they answered within a couple hours and came over shortly the next day. They took care of the beam with no problem and even removed it for us. They were extremely reasonably priced, friendly, and communicative. While they were still at our property we asked them to take down three arborvitae as well, which they did within 1.5 hours and completely cleaned the area afterward. We are so impressed and grateful for their prompt help. I canâ t recommend them enough!"

"We had a triple trunk, huge silver maple in our back yard that needed to come down. Its location made access and removal tricky. We started this project 3 years ago and waited for someone to actually keep their promise of showing up to do the job. In total, we had spoken to 8 Tree Service Companies, but they kept ghosting us, and we determined they just didn’t want the job. Finally we found ER Tree Services. Edwin was great at communicating with us, agreed to remove our tree within 2 weeks and kept his word. His team showed up on time, went right to work and masterfully took down this huge tree. The workers were professional, polite and careful in the falling of the tree and the removal of all the debris. Our backyard look great when they finished their clean-up. Several neighbors reached out, saying how amazed they were watching this crew work with such skill and synchronicity. We absolutely can’t say enough positive things about Edwin and his team. They are the only Tree Service we would ever recommend"

"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."

"After dealing with numerous tree removal services who failed to keep appointments, i finally contacted Spence’s who promptly responded, removed the tree in a professional manner. The prices were competitive and the employees were professional and competent. The tree was removed expeditiously and the grounds cleaned well. I highly recommend them."

Customers say: True professional

"Couldn’t be happier. Mike and Vinny were a pleasure to work with. Quality of work was great, professional, fair pricing but most of all great customer service. I was just looking for some edging and mulching and he went above and beyond and trimmed my bushes, took care of some shrubs that were dying and cleaned them up to give them a better chance of recovering and had some left over mulch so he did a small strip I had infront of my fence at no extra charge. Would highly recommend."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

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.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.
