"We had our tree trimmed and so did our neighbors. He thinned them out and shaped them beautifully. He did an excellent job and his prices are very reasonable! He was very polite and professional. Furthermore, he did all the clean up and made sure the street and properties were clean. He was punctural and followed through doing a complete job. Both my neighbor and us highly recommend him."

"James is very knowledgeable, he seemed to care about my trees almost as much as I do. He trimmed three big fruitless mulberries and took out two dead trees. The cleanup was fabulous. He is my new tree guy."

"They didn't really do a good job. It was another case of what they said they were going to do they didn't really do. They come out and they say "hey we are going to take a tree out or two for you" and I said okay how far are you going to take it down and they were like "well we'll take it down to the bottom we'll dig 6 inches into the ground and we'll get down that far and we'll cover up the dirt you'll never even know the tree was here but we're not going to stump grind it." So I come back and there's like 8 to 12 inches above the ground. He came over and solicited me because he was doing a neighbors yard. They said they would clean up but they left kind of a mess. The estimate they gave me and the actual bill they gave me they actually had to charge me a little bit more as they initially said $300.00 but they came back and said it was like $350.00 and then I just think if they are coming to my house asking to do work and I did not reach out to them they should do what they said they were going to do and at least bring the stumps down to the ground. I would say to watch them on the estimate and advise to be there when they are doing the work. The price was still fair for the work as one tree was big and one was a medium size tree. They showed up when they said they would."

"Friendly and concerned about doing a good job. He was anxious to work to make it all work out. But I knew there would be problems and I could not go too much over the bid price. As it was the price I went with was spot on."

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.

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.

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.

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.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.
