"I felt like Thomas Potts did a great job grinding the stumps of two trees that had recently been cut down. He was friendly, professional, and timely. Mr. Potts communicated well prior to arriving so we knew when precisely when he would arrive, etc. The job was done efficiently and Mr. Potts chhecked on several occasions to make sure we were happy with the results along the way. The price was also very reasonable for the work done. I wouls defintely hire him again if needed."

"After calling several tree removal/stump grinding businesses--one of them 3x, but they never returned any of my calls--Joseph, Elite Stump Grinding, called me. In this case, I guess, the 4th time was the charm. I explained the situation with an approximately 8.5" tree stump that needed to be removed. Based on my description, there were 2 options: 1) he could come and inspect the situation and then quote a price; or 2) he could give me a quote over the phone. There was no point in having him come 2x, so Joseph gave us a quote over the phone. The day we scheduled was the hottest day, with the humidex factor reaching 107 F. I was worried and called Joseph to note that I would be ok with changing to a different, cooler day. He assured me that he would be OK. In addition, I discovered that when I was removing dirt from around the stump, the root area was much more substantial than I had realized. As a result when he saw the situation, Joseph noted that it would take a little longer than he had expected. However, he did not advise us that he would have to charge more as a result of the additional work. He set up a protective barrier around the stump area, and got straight to work. Afterwards, he cleaned up and raked to provide a flat, even area. My husband and I are both very impressed with Joseph's superb work ethic, professionalism, and friendliness, and thankful that he went the extra mile. In fact, we gave him more than the quote to indicate our appreciation of these qualities, as well as the quality of the work he did. In addition, I am promoting Elite Stump Grinding LLC on my social media. Everyone should know about Joseph's integrity and impeccable work ethic. Thanks, Joseph!"

"Jason is the kindest person to work with. He gives a really fair price consistently, the best price around honestly. He does the work well, he is responsive and humble. Please hire them if you're considering having tree work done. I recommend them to everyone. He knows his stuff and even has other contacts for further projects he will be glad to provide to you. We initially hired him as a company to have a tree removed by some powerlines, then hired him again to remove 7 more trees and trim others. I recently bought a house and plan on using him and his crew to assist with needs I have there as well! Please hire Jason for all your needs!!!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I contacted three different tree services to quote my job. The first never showed up, the second showed up three-sheets into the wind and then there was Patrica with AAA Union Tree Service. Within thirty minutes of placing my request on Angi, she sent me a text asking if she could come quote the job. Before the day was out, I had a written quote in my hand. Patricia was in the middle of a big apartment job but kept me abreast by text when they should be able to start. Her crew did a wonderful job and her associate Brenda was also very helpful in advising on how to update the exterior of the home and even brought out a beautiful shrub to show me. I can't say enough how please I am with the results of their work. I also received additional quotes before they left as I plan on making AAA Union Tree Service my go-to for all my landscaping needs! They were wonderful!"

"I hired D and D Top Notch to remove two trees and a stump grind. The company and their tree removal service are **top-notch** and I recommend that. However, I was stunned and disheartened at the damage the stump grinding machine did to my grass and driveway. The stump grinder D and D hired to do this portion of their service only owns a large machine, and it has tank treads. Expect the machine to tear up your grass and leave deep grooves. That machine dripped two types of fluid on my very clean driveway and left rubber tire tread marks. I was told that rain would get all of it off. I tried a hose and then a pressure washer, and those stains will not come out. Expect to have to pay for your driveway to be pressure washed. When the owner came over to check out the damage, he told me that it would take a while for the stains to disappear and that I would have to reseed my lawn in damaged areas. All I got was an apology because before they would remove my trees, I had to sign a waiver saying that they would not be held responsible for any damage caused by their company. I rated things with average scores because my experience with D and D and their grinding service was one step forward and two steps back. It will cost me more to repair the damage than it did to have my stumps removed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Peach trees don’t tend to live as long as other types of trees and crops. They tend to last only about 12 years, and you shouldn’t expect to see a full peach harvest each of those years, either. Young peach trees need a few years to get established before they produce fruit, but you should have plenty of peaches for your pies and cobblers during their mature years, around years four through eight.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.
