"Ezra and his crew were very prompt and diligent with their work. I will not say his price was the cheapest, but when they are done with the work, you realize why you donâ  t want to cut corners and go with the cheapest option offered. They were very sociable when I came out from the house, which is not the most common from my experiences over the years. They went above and beyond to make sure my mulching looked professionally done and boy did that â  Wowâ  my neighbors. Will definitely be looking to use his services again in the future!"

"I recently hired D&M Tree Service to remove a large oak tree that fell across my yard. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and professional. Daniel provided a fair and honest estimate the same day I called, and his team arrived promptly on the scheduled day. Despite the snow and cold temperatures on February 15th, they were efficient and worked quickly, removing the tree and cleaning up all the debris. They even went the extra mile and disposed of patio furniture that was damaged by the tree. I was very impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail, and overall work ethic. I highly recommend D&M Tree Service for any tree removal needs in DuBois."

"Great job, extremely professional. Ike and crew gave me a good price, showed up when they said they would, and very quickly took down 2 trees. They hauled away everything, leaving absolutely no debris. I will hire them again."

Arborists questions, 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.)

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.

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.

Costs reflect the size of the tree or shrub, the complexity of the task, location accessibility, and disposal needs, and comprehensive quotes vary accordingly.

Dying trees and even dead trees can spread diseases to other living trees. There are many different types of tree diseases, so it’s essential to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent the disease from spreading to other healthy trees. If the tree cannot be saved and is infected, you need to have it removed to protect the other trees on your property.
