"A large branch about halfway up on a ~75' oak tree came down and damaged one of the two surrounding trees in my front yard. We decided to remove all 3 trees and called around for quotes. Terry was very responsive; called me back the same evening, came out the next day, and gave me a quote over the phone. His price was one of the lowest of 5 companies we got quotes from, and he was the only one that would remove the stump grindings. When I got all my quotes, I called Terry back and agreed upon the price and schedule over the phone. Terry and his crew came out on the scheduled day at 8:30AM and worked efficiently to cut down and remove the 3 trees in one day. They also removed the debris and cleaned up the yard. They came back the next day and in a few hours ground down the stumps and removed the grindings. Overall, they did a great job and I would recommend them to anyone needing tree services."

"????? Very happy with the service! I had a large tree that needed to be removed because it was getting too close to the house, and Hector was great from start to finish. He came out, gave me a reasonable estimate, explained what needed to be done, and got the job done without any issues. They worked quickly but were careful around the house and yard. Everything was cleaned up before they left, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend them if you need tree removal. Professional, respectful, and easy to work with!"

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

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.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.
