"I have used Aly's Tree Service for 20 years. They've removed dead trees and planted new trees and trimmed trees. Usually Aly is there during the service and things go great. Usually I give straight A's. This time I asked for pruning and trimming of citrus trees. Aly came for the estimate. He said my orange tree was fine for another year--I always appreciate his honesty. The lemon tree and the lime tree needed some work. They had gotten too large and dense. Workers came out promptly. No need for Aly for this smaller job. After 30 minutes (and $400) they said they were finished. I looked at the trees and they were densely shaped shrubs on a trunk. Now, I know I asked for thinning/pruning. I told them so but they said this is how they always do it and how Aly told them to do it. I wasn't thrilled with this as my gardener will do this same work for no added fee. I told them sun and air needed to get into there and thinning branches was needed for healthy fruit. They either didn't understand me or acted like they didn't understand me as I tried to explain what I wanted. Rather than continue to disagree, I let them go. I called Aly's number and he came right over and looked at it and said he'd send a crew right over to fix it and they did first thing in the morning. I loved that response. The second job done was excellent and exactly what I had in mind. I'm not sure what was going on with the first crew. Did they want to quickly get the job done and not do all the work? Did they really not know what pruning a tree involves? Do some people really like super dense shrub citrus trees? I really trust Aly, but was disappointed in the work his first crew did. I will continue to use Aly and continue to make sure the job is done the way I need it even if I have to call them again to fix it up."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in El Granada, CA

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.
