"John performed the work as a tree surgeon. His every move was perfect, both in the trees and on the ground. You couldn’t ask for a better tree service. Plus his prices can not be beat."

"Jermaine was excellent at helping with the yard work that needed to be done. He removed and planted a dogwood tree, removed old mulch and replaced it with new in three flower beds, and re-cemented a loose fence post. It was all done promptly. He and his assistant cleaned up all the debris that remained after the work was completed. He knows his business and can be relied on to do what he says he will. He is priced within the going rates. I would hire him again."

"Greiner Scapes did an awesome job on the two large trees in our yard that desperately needed pruning. Maclaine (owner) was amazing to work with. Kind, responsive, reliable and very fair pricing. It is apparent he is very knowledgeable and skilled in his field. Truly just an all around genuine person and I am so happy to support and promote this new small business. I was not only impressed with his work, but also, the immaculate clean up of our yard after. We had a lot that needed done, so naturally lots of leaves and branches left behind, but after he and his crew were done with clean up, it was like no one had ever been here. I will / already have recommended this business to friends and family and will absolutely use them in the future for additional needs. Thank you Greiner Scapes !"

"A thoroughly professional experience from beginning to end. Everyone we dealt with acted/responded promptly, showed up on time with a can-do attitude, and did what they said they would do. When the crew doing the work realized they could not get their equipment through our rear neighbors' narrow driveway (as the estimator thought they could), they immediately came up with a different plan, to do it from the front. This they carried out amazingly fast--and safely. They finished the job to our satisfaction in the allotted time despite the change in method. We then made a mistake on the check we gave them. Ashley in the office caught that and called the next morning."

"Michael, who operates Landscaping and Tree Service Pros LLC is a very pleasant person and who is very knowledgeable about this business. I had two trees to take care of. After I submitted my request for a quote through the Angi app, Michael called me and asked for any pictures that I had. After I sent five pictures he called back and gave me his quote, which was reasonable for the job to be done. Because of the poor weather conditions he had to call to adjust the work schedule but within five days he called and was on his way to do our work. He arrived, with an assistant, and they completed the job, to my satisfaction. I recommend Michael’s Landscaping and Tree Service Pros LLC for your next project."

Arborists questions, 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.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.
