"They did a great job. They trimmed a huge (hollow) cottonwood tree about in half and it looked great. Also it is right up against the fence and everything landed where it was supposed to."
"It was a pleasure to work with Troy of Defensible Space Management. He is a top of the line professional. He responded promptly to any inquiry I had. I had a large tree in front of of my house that needed to be removed. Troy came out, skillfully took the tree down, hauled away all traces of the work, and I couldn’t be more pleased with his work and excellent customer service. Highly recommend!"

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations.
Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.
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.
Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.
There are a few things you should look for in a stump removal company to make sure you’ll be satisfied with the results:
Proper business licensing and insurance
History of positive reviews
Good rating with the Better Business Bureau
We also recommend asking any company you’re considering the following questions to help find the best value:
Will you remove the roots as well as the stump?
Will you haul away wood chips or large portions of the stump?
What method will you use to remove the stump?
