"Tuesday afternoon I talked to Brad; by lunchtime Wednesday, the trimming and removal team had finished all work and cleanup other than stump grinding. Because of storms and flooding, the stump grinder couldn't get to my home until Thursday. Within two hours of arrival, the stump grinding team was done with the stumps and cleanup. The price was fair and right. I was impressed with the courtesy, efficiency, and skill of every person involved. The trimming was done with great care and with a close eye to symmetry and safety. The results were really good! The tree removal was done with care, thought, and, again, attention to safety. The stumps were ground very carefully--one was close to some shrubs, and the other was really close to a driveway. Not a scratch on anything! Both teams went the extra mile in cleaning up. They left my yard cleaner than it was when they started. I will hire them again!"

"Quick response to telephone request for an estimate. Arrived and accomplished the removal of the tree. Removed the cut down portions of the tree and cleaned the yard of any stray small branches. A fair price for the tree removal and stump grinding."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.
