"I was very impressed with YA Tree and Lawn Services. They clearly have a ton of tree removal experience. They took down one large (3' diameter) tree up against a fence and only 15 feet from my house without any trouble. And, another tree was leaning on a fence. It was about 18" in diameter. I wouldn't have thought it could be removed without causing some damage to the fence it was leaning on, but they did it. Their pricing was very reasonable and they were able to quickly schedule the work to be done. They were very easy to work with. I will definitely be using them for any additional tree work."

"Exceptional Service, Fair Pricing & Bonus Cleanup from Ward’s Tree Service Ward’s Tree Service recently removed two enormous trees from my small, fenced backyard, and I couldn’t be more impressed.

Jason was responsive and communicative throughout, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. The crew was pleasant, respectful, and left the space spotless.

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Charlottesville, VA

The time it takes to grind a stump depends on its size and the type of wood. Small, softwood stumps take only 15 minutes to remove, while large, hardwood stumps can take several hours. Before the project begins, ask your stump grinding pro for an estimate so you can plan accordingly.

There are several alternative methods to stump removal, including winching it with mechanical equipment, cutting it with a chainsaw, grubbing out the stump and roots, initiating a burn with the required permits, activating natural rotting processes, and applying chemical treatments to expedite decay. Each method offers its own advantages and safety requirements, so it is important to select the option that best suits your project and complies with local regulations.

The cost of tree removal typically doesn't include stump grinding. Removing a stump requires different equipment and skills than cutting down a tree. If you want both services, your contractor will often charge extra for grinding the stump. However, bundling tree removal and stump grinding can sometimes save you money, so it's worth asking about package deals.

Pest issues in a tree stump do not slow down the grinding process. The decay accelerated by pests can make grinding more efficient. However, if an infestation is present, it is important to arrange for pest control afterward to safeguard the health of your garden. Ensuring thorough pest management after stone removal supports long-term yard stability and prevents further damage.
