"We had a very tall oak tree break during high winds, and we were pretty nervous about asking for a quote to have it taken down. Within less than an hour after creating the post, Alex came out and was able to provide a detailed plan for how they'd tackle the job. The crew that came out was extremely professional and (most importantly) safe, and they were able to take on the job with a extremely fair and reasonable rate. I will definitely be recommending Dogwood Arboriculture to anyone who asks, and will also be calling them again for future needs!"

"Travis was very quick to return my call, came out next day to look at what we wanted done, provided quote. Price was in line with other quotes obtained but could fit us in sooner. Travis contacted us the following week as promised to advise where we were in the work queue. Crew arrived promptly on scheduled day and completed the work in one day. Work done: Trimmed 4 trees of varying sizes, removed 3 trees, ground 4 stumps. Removed all debris. I was at home so Travis had me come out and check progress periodically, especially when trimming the large trees by the house, to be sure they were doing what we wanted and keeping the health and overall appearance of the trees in mind. Professional, thorough crew. We only had trees done but they left yard cleaner at end of day than when they arrived. Price was fair. Wouldn't hestitate to use again and recommend to others."

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.
