Customers say: True professional

"The crew came on time and worked steadily throughout the day to remove a very large tree from a fairly small lot. Everyone was polite and respectful. Taking down a tree this size was not a simple job, but these guys really know what they're doing! They cleaned up the area thoroughly when they were finished. Now I don't have to rake leaves this year. Thanks, guys!"

"We would highly recommend J.W. Kolp Tree Service and give them a 5 STAR rating!They had a great challenge with all the landscaping, restrictions getting equipment into our back yard, and the rain. Very reliable, professional, and cleaned up the entire property when they were finished cutting down a large pine tree, removing tree stump, and heavy trimming of several very large trees in the yard. JOHN and his TEAM are the BEST!!! Couldn't be happier!"

"Just the Tree Guy did a beautiful job both trimming our trees, as well as removing two dead trees. Ricky got us an estimate the same day and squeezed us in 48 hours later - all at a very reasonable price. The crew was friendly and respectful of our property, and made sure to remove all of the debris afterward. They even threw in removal of a small dead tree that we hadn't initially included in the quote. If you're looking for a tree service, give them a call!"

"Monkey Climbers Tree Service is the company you want to have when it comes to your tree service needs. John and his crew are extremely professional, hard working, safe, and take pride in what they do. I recently had 3 trees completely removed (stump and all) and also had a large tree pruned that hung over my property roof. Once the job was completed everything was done exactly as requested and there was no trace of the labor work they provided."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

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.

In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.
