"Mike was great and easy to work with. He came out and gave us an estimate within 24 hours and was able to do the project within a few days. We are very satisfied with the work. We had 9 tree stumps that needed grinding including a very huge willow tree with massive roots."

"We have used A+ Lawn Care for a number of years. Was thrilled when they added the tree and arborist services. They showed up today to 'clean up' the sucker growth on 2 very large Honey Locust, a crab apple and a cluster of mulberry trees. As always the crew that showed up, were prepared to work, did their work, cleaned up after themselves. In this case, I reminded them we had concrete decorative curbing around 3 of the 4 trees. Installed by A+ Lawn Care but buried in the snow. They carefully cleaned the snow off the curbing so they knew where it was. No damage done. We weren't so lucky with another tree company - and there was no snow then. Our experience with A+ Lawn Care and now A+ Tree & Arborist were great. I have recommended A+ Lawn Care a number of times and will do the same for A+ Tree & Arborist"

"I hired Layne to trim bushes around my new house and remove a dead tree. He was able to do the job right away and the results were excellent. As I had not yet moved in to the property, he sent videos to keep me informed. He seeded where the tree had been and returned later to ensure the new grass was doing well. I will definitely be using his services for my future landscaping needs!"

Tree Service 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.

If you’re buying a small tree with lots of room to grow, expect to pay around $100 to $200 for a potted version. But if you’re buying a larger tree—say one over 10 feet—prices rise, starting in the $500 to $600 range and increasing quickly from there. Keep in mind that paying for professional palm tree planting or transplanting services will increase the cost.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.
