The next day, he arrived on time with a professional and energetic crew. I watched as they made the impossible possible. The tree removal and stump grinding were safely and meticulously done in one day! I was truly amazed.

Tree Service removal Trim Top Crown Reduction stump removal stump grinding brush chipping. License #1052344, bonded, insured and workers comp
"Description of Work: Trim 3 Trees on front porch & front yard. After completion of tasks, the Tree Trimmer did not clean off black marks left on my concrete front porch. He also did not follow instructions on how much to cut back teee limbs. He ended up cutting away to many limbs thus leaving very little foilage left for shading porch from hot sun. I went forward with the work as I was in dire need of tree trimming services asap becaz the tree had grown over the rain gutter onto the roof. When the wind or rain came it would blow the tree limbs making loud scraping & dripping noises. We had to ask that the contractor to come back and remove the blk marks on porch concrete. He did so within 2 weeks. He pressure washed the entire front porch per my request thus leaving it looking very clean. He also cut back some additional limbs per my request that were low hanging stragglers. Overall he tidied up when he finished the task by blowing front porch & yard with a leaf blower. He discarded the cut branches & leaves into my green garbage can. At the completion of the re-work I came to front door with credit card to pay the contractor. He swiped my card using a hand held device smaller than a deck of cards. The payment went thru and confirm email was sent to me. Later after the re-work was completed I got 3 other quotes and found his tree trim service was $100's of dollars higher than comparable contractors in the area. Wished I had done that before I hired him. But Angie's list highly recommended him so I thought it was a good fit for my project. Apparently not. The tree trimming was over done by taking off too much of the foliage. In my communications and experience with this tree trimmer I found him to be not polite and to overly confident. Not willing to make any compromises regarding discounting the tree trim invoice due to his not following my instructions on how much to cut back the tree limbs. He was demanding payment over the phone and overly aggressive at first when I spoke to him about cutting back to much of the tree. Claiming I should have come outside while they were trimming to supervise. I had already gone over the instructions with him by texting him one week before start of job. I thought he was clear on how much to cut back but apparently not. So, I would not recommend or use this outfit again."

Tree stump removals FAQs
Yes, grinding a stump is worthwhile if you plan to use the area for planting, recreation, or building. Removing the stump clears space for new landscaping or construction projects. Additionally, as the stump decomposes, it can rob the soil of nitrogen, affecting the growth of other plants. Stumps are also a tripping hazard, making removal a wise choice.
The time it takes to grind a stump depends on its size, density, and the grinder's performance. A small, soft stump can be ground in 15 minutes, while a large, dense stump may require up to eight hours for complete removal. Factors like the stump's structure and your grinding technique affect how quickly you can remove it.
Grinding a stump is often the best solution for clearing an area for construction or planting. It removes the visible portion of the stump, but the roots remain underground. If you need to remove the roots for long-term stability or design plans, you'll need to hire a professional for full stump and root removal. This ensures your site is completely cleared for future projects.
Leaving a tree stump in your yard can cause several problems. It can become a breeding ground for pests and diseases that might harm nearby trees and structures. Plus, the decaying stump can interfere with your landscaping plans, making mowing difficult and promoting unwanted new growth that can disrupt soil stability. Removing the stump eliminates these risks and improves your yard's safety and appearance.
To effectively kill a stump, you need to interrupt its nutrient supply and speed up decay. Drill holes into the stump and fill them with a concentrated herbicide like glyphosate, rock salt, or Epsom salt. This method ensures the substance penetrates deeply. Alternatively, cover the stump with a dark, heavy-duty tarp to deprive it of sunlight, which accelerates the process. Remember to follow safety guidelines when using these methods.
