"Fantastic! My huge 48 yo old dying maple tree was deep in the backyard and was tricky to remove due to the fencing and relatively small space between the houses. The crew showed up to work when they said they would and very carefully remove the large tree. It was amazing to watch the careful removal by cherrypicker . The truck itself was actually elevated on a stand so as not to damage the sidewalk and curbing! They took care not to ding the houses when removing very large, heavy branches and the huge base of the tree. . The crew was very careful and left no leaf or debis when they finished. Then they pruned maple out front and it looks amazing after it was pruned and trimmed .. They know what they are doing and are a personable, pleasant hard working group of people. I highly recommend Shades of Green for your pruning, trimming and removal projects . Lm."

"Green Lawn is hands down the best lawn care company I’ve ever had. My technician, Randy, does a great job! His attention to detail and commitment to excellent service go far beyond just applying treatments. He consistently gives me helpful feedback about my lawn, taking the time to explain what he’s seeing and what steps I can take to keep it healthy. What truly sets Randy apart is his thoughtfulness—he doesn’t hesitate to address any concerns he notices during his visit, and he even goes the extra mile to bring my empty garbage can back to the house. That level of care and pride in his work is rare these days, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. I truly appreciate having someone so reliable and professional taking care of my lawn!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Philadelphia, PA
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.
