"Excellent! Im impressed. Jose was very reasonably priced, easy to work with and prompt. Great communication. He bid a job on a Thursday morning and scheduled it for the following Tuesday. He then called the next day to bump it up to Monday to beat the impeding storm. He confirmed mid day Sunday. Jose and his crew were on the job by 8 a.m. and off the job around 12:30. They left the wood shavings from the stump and mostly 18 inch fireplace wood per my request. I saved a few 100 dollars this way. I moved the wood and did the rest of the cleanup myself as I felt his price was more than fair. Basically, they were on the job by 8 a.m. Monday and by Tuesday 1.p.m. I had the rest of the work tackled. Well worth it. I'm near 56 with a bad back and I was able to do the cleanup and save huge. Jose was willing to have his crew gather up and stack the wood where I wanted and rake up the debris included in his bid but again, I felt I got a square deal so I was more than happy to finish up. A couple last things. Jose privided proof of license insurance. As well, Jose was very knowledgeable as to why the tree needed to come down do to being compromised from prior improper pruning allowing water access to a low crotch causing internal rot. The tree would have eventually split and one side would have crushed our house. Fact. His crew actually wrecked a long chain when they hit a couple pieces of rebar encapsulated in the middle of the trunk and refused to accept my payment for the destroyed chain. I can't say enough. Do not fear this company, just hire them."

Arborists 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.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

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.
