"We had some landscaping work to be done, and everything started out great. He said he would provide everything in writing, which he never did. We made the mistake of paying in full before the job was complete. Once payment was made we would have to call him to find out when he planned on completing the job. A date would be provided, and then he would not show up. We?d have to call again, and again, and he finally showed up to do more work. There was one thing left for him to do, and again we?d call. This time he did not even bother to return our calls. Beware if you decide to hire."

I started my business because I’ve always been a hardworking, hands-on person who takes pride in making things look their best. I have experience with landscaping, flower bed maintenance, weeding, trimming, mulching, seasonal cleanups, overgrown property cleanups, and residential cleaning. I proudly serve Rochester and the surrounding Finger Lakes area, including Victor, Farmington, Canandaigua, Ontario County, and nearby communities. What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about my work and my customers. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, not afraid of hard work, and I never believe in cutting corners. I take the time to listen to what each customer wants and treat every property as if it were my own. My goal is to provide quality, honest, reliable service while leaving every customer with a finished product they can be proud of—and a reason to call me again

They worked very efficiently, and were very cautious of both properties as they worked. The Owners were also very nice and easy to work with and answered all my questions. One of the best tree services I’ve used in a long time and will be contacting again soon."

"Mat was a very professional young man and it was obvious he cared about his work. I had two stumps removed and my yard looks so much better than before. He even put down top soil, seeded, and put straw over it. We already have grass growing! Pricing was very reasonable and I appreciated the free estimate. Would definitely recommend!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.
