"George and his crew were on time and did a great job. When they left the yard looked the same as it was when they got there. They were about 70 feet tall and crew a great job. Would hire them again in a heartbeat and will again this fall for my Bradford tree in front yard."

"Axel Ortiz and his crew were exceptionally efficient and professional. Axel is very friendly, respectful and knowledgeable. He came immediately to provide me with a quote for removal of a huge, dangerous tree and the price was very fair. They also removed some smaller trees, hauled away additional brush and cleaned everything up nicely when finished. They have all the right equipment for the job,...bucket truck, chipper, log mover, dump truck, etc. They arrived on time and finished within 3 hours. Watching them work as a team was almost like watching a ballet. Each man was aware of what others were doing and they worked smoothly together. It was as if they were taking apart a puzzle, one piece at a time. I could not have been more pleased with Ash Tree Service Pro and would recommend them to anyone with any kind of need regarding trees. A++ Good job!!"

"I would hire Alfonso's company again without hesitation. As a woman and single parent, the majority of workers I hire have been disrespectful and condescending, and on top of that do not do a good job. Not so with Alfonso and his crew. Hernandez Tree Service was accommodating for my schedule, punctual, and experts in tree removal. I had two dead trees, a fallen large tree and another leaning against a sapling, ready to fall into the neighbors privacy fence. It was a tricky and dangerous job. There were two medium size live trees to cut also, that they cut the trunk so close to the ground, thankfully, that I will not need the stump removed nor can one see the stumps. They did excellent cleanup when done. I highly recommend this company."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

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.

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.
