"I called about five different tree companies and was not able to find someone as professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and reliable, as MV Tree Removal & Hauling Services. Manuel responded very quickly, sent photos of the job that needed to be done and explained everything ahead of time so we knew what to expect. I greatly appreciate what a wonderful job they did. It was frustrating looking for someone to help and not getting a response. Manuel and his team went to the property and took care of everything. They worked quickly, diligently, and very efficient. Not only did they cut the tree and remove what was needed, they picked it up and they didn’t leave a chaotic mess. It was so well done that I wanted the company I work for to pay because of how great they were!!! I would highly recommend MV Tree Removal & Hauling Services. We plan to use him for more jobs in the future. Thank you for all your help, Manuel! We appreciate you!!!"

Customers say: Quick response

"They did a great job trimming a lot from a tree that was hanging over my house from a neighbor's yard, They also took out 2 bushes and raised branches from a pecan tree. After they finished, they cleaned up all of the debris. They had a wood chippers, so I did not have to pay for them to take branches to the dump, which I did with another tree trimmer."

Arborists FAQs, 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.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

Signs include dead branches, growth over structures, diseases, pests, or roots impacting hardscapes.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.
