"I requested for someone to come out to look at a tree stump that needed to be removed and Cody responded within minutes and was at my house later that afternoon. He was polite, welcoming and sure of his assessment. The job was done the following morning, and looks great. I am more than happy with the outcome."

"This company not only does great work in a timely fashion, but they are also incredibly kind. They have done regular lawn care for us and also a fall cleanup of our front yard after a large branch fell from a tree. Can not say enough good things about this company and would recommend them highly!"

"I contracted with someone to cut some trees and grind the stumps plus grind some additional stumps from trees that had fallen earlier. That person could get the job done but Paul from A & A did. They came cleaned up the mess, ground the stumps and even helped me replace the fence that had to be taken down to grind the stumps. Paul told me what he would do for me and then he did it. Thank you A & A!"

Local waste removal, handyman, and towing help in Bluffton and the surrounding Lowcountry. I take on junk haul-away, odd jobs around the house, and vehicle tows with clear pricing and no runaround. My goal is simple: get it done quickly, leave the place better than I found it, and make sure you’re happy before I drive off.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

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.

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove tree stumps. Leaving them in the ground can lead to several problems, as they are not only unsightly but can also reduce your property's value. Stumps can obstruct landscaping plans, make mowing difficult, and hinder new growth. More importantly, they are prime breeding grounds for pests like termites, ants, and mice, which can spread to your home and cause costly damage to its wood and foundation. Stumps also attract fungi and diseases that can infect other healthy trees and plants in your yard. As a stump decays, it might sprout new, unwanted shoots. While removing a stump is an investment, it prevents these potential issues and enhances the safety, health, and appearance of your landscape.
