"I REALLY APPRECIATED the efficient and friendly work on a pretty warm August day!! The crew did an excellent job of safely removing the Arborvitae at the edge of my home, grinding down the stump and doing a perfect debris cleanup. I also think your price is fair. I'd be happy to recommend your company to anyone."

"Hired Leo's to cut down a bunch of medium sized trees. They came out a few days after the quote. Got everything cut down, stumps grind, hauled away the wood all in a couple hours. They were easy to work with, careful, and cleaned up the area sufficiently. Prices were very competitive and I hope to have them cut down more trees for us in the future."

"Cory and his crew called back, came by and cleaned up 2 medium sized stumps 21” and 17” diameter. Both stumps were sticking up like giant sore thumbs. Now my yard has nice flat spots and ready for grass seed . He’s very communicative and professional, and oh so reasonably priced. I’m keeping his business card bc when I need him next, Schwake will be the first one I call. I highly recommend him for yard cleanup, tree care, and storm damage removal."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.
