"A bush was planted that had little yellow flowers annually. I don’t go out into my backyard ever since the exit is in the basement. Years later I saw the little bush grown like Jack and the beanstalk. It was hanging over the fence into my neighbors yard which I knew was not acceptable. I filled out a request on Angi’s almost immediately I heard from Wilfer with Pro Trees who I made an appointment with. He came gave me a reasonable price so I hired the company and scheduled the day & time. They came on time, did a great job on my tree which could have looked oddly uneven, yet didn’t because they definitely knew what they were doing. I would hire them again and recommend them to family and friends. "

"We had several large trees that needed trimming and one that needed to be removed because it was growing into our deck. Within a couple days after first contact they came by and gave us a written estimate. Not the cheapest alternative we had but I think you get what you pay for. They were quick, professional, and they did great work. They got the branches off of our house, brightened up the yard and the trees still look full and healthy. I would definitely hire them again."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Washington DC, DC

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.
