"Of the three companies I interviewed for my work, Unicorn demonstrated knowledge about the proper way to cut trees. They were up front about providing insurance information. The job was tricky and they did a great job to keep my fence safe. And they did a great job cleaning up. Good folks!"

"Trimming was complete and nice cleanup done.   The workers even went out of their way to cleanup branches that had been cut down by a fence vendor and just left behind the fence.
Vendor very willing to work with change of plan on what needed done during the service.  Originally Cottonwood was going to be trimmed but in such poor shape, dangerous for climber and wouldn't last much longer so decided to remove.
Tree and stump that was removed....   used stump grinder.  All of the stump debris was left and was told it would disappear shortly by being watered.  It is still there after 3 months, will need to remove ourselves.  Also...some large roots coming off of this tree within a couple of feet are still there and poking out of the ground.  They were hidden under the stump debris.  We will need to dig out. in order to level ground.   I wouldn't hesitate to use vendor again but would be more forceful in making sure all of  the cleanup on a stump removal was done and check for problems with roots.  I attribute this issue to the fact that this work was done late in the day and it was getting dark.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

Tree pruning is a common and helpful tree maintenance technique that involves carefully cutting and trimming unwanted branches so that the tree can continue to grow and thrive. Pruning is done carefully and intentionally. Tree topping is a frowned-upon method that involves removing and cutting most or the entirety of the top of the tree, including structurally important branches.
