"We’ve hired Fred Watson, Slash & Bang, numerous times for tree trimming to tree removal. On one occasion we even called him to come get our kittens out of a tree! Some of his work involved removing a large tree branch hanging over half of our home. Fred dropped it without a scratch"

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to G Solis Tree Services for their outstanding professionalism and exceptional workmanship. A skilled crew of four completed an extensive project on my property in just three days. Their scope of work included the safe removal of seven massive trees and hauling away three previously felled trees. Additionally, they cleared my fence line and thoroughly removed all surrounding debris, leaving the workspace completely immaculate. Given the scale and high quality of the labor, their pricing was incredibly competitive and fair. The team's efficiency, organization, and dedication to safety were exemplary. I am immensely grateful for their top-tier service and look forward to partnering with them again for all future tree management needs."

Customers say: True professional

"Dr. Bob White & the crew were extremely courteous. He knew exactly what was wrong with my Elm tree & immediately treated it. He was more than fair with me on the cost. I have several more trees that need to be treated. Be assured that BW Insect Control and Tree Care will be the ones that I will call. In my opinion, he is the best."

"I highly recommend Joel and his team for any tree service needs. They arrived exactly on time and worked diligently all day to cut down and haul away six trees, as well as trim four massive branches from two pecan trees. Joel used his dump trailer to transport the debris to my property's designated disposal area. Communication was seamless—Joel responded to every text almost immediately. Exceptional, professional service from start to finish!"

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.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

Stump grinding consists of removing the visible part of the stump, but the roots remain intact. Depending on the tree and root system, the roots may still grow after stump grinding. If you are concerned about root growth and damage, you may want to consider having a stump removed completely.
