"We were very happy with the tree cutting, removal of all the wood and brush. The cleanup was excellent. A few days later, after we had diggers hot line mark the area, we had 4 stumps ground up. Again, the work was complete and done to our expectations. We would definitely hire them again."

"Ray was very prompt in responding to my service request. He explained in detail what he proposed to do and kept me informed as the work progressed. He pruned numerous bushes, trimmed several trees and cleaned up the branches afterward. I was very satisfied with his work."

"Dean returned my call and I described the small tree I wanted removed. I also sent him pictures. He gave me a price and removed the tree the next day. He is very knowledgeable regarding the possibility of tree roots near pipes and removed the tree and roots quickly. He also cleaned up the area afterwards. Excellent communication, very professional and got the job done! I would definitely recommend him for tree removals!"

"Ethan trimmed a large tree in my front yard. He arrived on time - explained what he would do and gave me a price. I felt it was a very fair quote and gave him the go ahead for the job. He was very professional and knew what he was doing. He completed the job and cleaned up everything and hauled all the branches in his truck. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have tree trimming done. I will use him again for future tree trimming.☺ Gerry Develice"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

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.

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.
