"Greg did a fantastic job for us. He ground up 4 tree stumps and even went above and beyond by grinding up a bed with huge blackberry nodules and ground cloth. We can now plant in this bed. He’s great to work with, pleasant and professional, prompt and a good communicator. I’d hire him again in a minute!"

"I was worried that he was so young. No worries. Hunter knows what he's doing and does it well. The guys cut a tree down that was threatening our house. They cleaned up the yard nicely, too."

"Harold and his crew did an amazing job. H&M gave us the lowest bid on removing three large evergreens trees. The high bid was 3 times what Harold's quote was! Harold and his crew were prompt, professional, considerate and went way above and beyond our expectations. Thank you H&M!"

"From time to time in our search for good quality work and services, a business and its owner stand out above the rest. This time was one of those occasions. I just assumed that removing a tree was a routine endeavor for a tree service but once I spoke to Rob Dickson, the owner of Branched Out LLC Tree Service, I knew this project was going to be different and top notch. From the first time we talked, Rob explained his company, the procedures, and straight up, honest pricing. He scheduled us in a prompt and timely manner just a few short days from our first contact. He coordinated with a crane company and operator, arranged for dump boxes to be delivered and placed, and coordinated every step of the way in person. While awaiting the actual day of the tree removal, Rob kept in contact and updated us about any important issues we might face in our project. He was honestly concerned about our well-being, safety, the conservation of our yard and property and that of our neighbors. Once the work began, he was true to form in guiding the process and making sure everything went as planned. His entire crew was professional, polite, and well trained. His climber was a skilled logger and one of the best. Branched Out LLC made the project look simple and straightforward. His genuine concern for the customer’s satisfaction shone clear. As we found out, we were not to be disappointed. Not only was the 125 foot Douglas Fir removed successfully but the cleanup of all the area both in our yard and street was outstanding. If you need a truly professional team, look to Branched Out LLC to do the job right! Rob and his team come highly recommended and appreciated."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

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.

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.
