"Jason worked on our property and removed several over grown large bushes roots and all and two trees including removing the tree stumps. He and his crew did a fantastic job. Very professional, got the job done as he said he would and was very reasonably priced. We will be hiring him again in the spring to finish the job. Great crew to work with!"

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!"

"From quoting thru removing our dead 90 ft oak tree, Dan & Ed Gordon (along with their team) demonstrated professionalism & exceptional customer service that my wife and I have not seen in other companies. Yes, D & D had the necessary heavy equipment (similar to few companies) for a job of this scale but not everyone has the process, attention to details & safety that their team exhibited from Day 1. This large white oak was only few feet from our house and next to our concrete driveway but Dan and his team were able to carefully remove each branch without any damage to property. They even used commercial rubber mats and plywood to shield the driveway and garage windows from any falling debris. As for final cleanup, D&D Top Notch was great! One final note - Dan also impressed my wife and I with the fact that they intended to repurpose 15 ft of the tree trunk and giveaway the remainder to homes in need of firewood. Having dealt with numerous tree service companies in the past, I don’t know of any company that would have given this much thought to our needs, service and sentiments. Dan, Ed, Dan, Mathew, Jeff and Blair - please accept our sincere appreciation for a job well done. Great to know all of you and stay safe!"

"They just completed a job at our property, trimming and cleaning up 5 large trees. Showed up quickly for a quote (very fair pricing), scheduled us shortly after and showed up and did a great job. After calling numerous services for this project - communication, showing up and doing the job were the hardest parts and Ortiz made it easy! And the tree look great!! Highly recommend them!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.
