My name is Alec Miles-Wallace, Founder and President of Miles Tree and Stump. After over 20 years in the tree service industry, I noticed a problem. Most tree companies are too big, or too old-fashioned to provide the quality and affordability that I feel customers deserve. Their high expenses, or lack of modern technologies and techniques, prevent them from providing the highest quality of work possible. Not us! We strive to keep our overhead low, so we can pass those savings on to you. We continuously update our skills and techniques, so our company can provide the best and most knowledgeable tree, stump, and land care services possible. I am an ISA Certified Arborist, TCIA Certified Plant Healthcare technician, and a PA Licensed Pesticide Applicator. We have a Biologist on-call, who is also accredited in Organic Land Care. Our goal at Miles Tree and Stump is to provide our customers with the best in quality, affordability, and reliability.
"We have used Miles quite a few times, these guys are the best! The entirety of the process from Estimate to Completion of the job, outstanding service!"

"Brian did an awesome job. I inquired Monday afternoon, I received a voicemail from the company Monday night. I responded early Tuesday morning with my address. About 10:30 am Brian called and said he was at my house and gave me the cost. I was not at home at the time. He told me he could do the work immediately and I could send him the payment.

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.
