Tree Stumps

Tree Stumps

How to get rid of tree stumps is one of the most frequently asked question in the industry. Once you have had a tree removed you are left with a typically unsightly reminder, the stump. Tree stumps are an eyesore, a tripping hazard, and they can attract unwanted pests like termites or even fungi and bacteria. If left to simply decay and rot away on its own, without any sort of treatment, a stump can take up to ten years to disappear. When it comes to rotting a tree stump in Utah, the rate of decay depends on many different factors such as species of tree, size of the tree, and the climate and weather conditions.

As your leading Utah arborist, we do stump grinding in the Utah and surrounding area, although due to the demand we do have to limit our grinding services and can only offer it to current tree service clients and not as a standalone service.

To remove a tree stump you can try to tackle the job yourself, although stump grinders are quite heavy and can be difficult to use at times. So how do you get rid of a tree stump then? What is the best way? Well, the answer is in the original suggestion of letting it rot away, but doing so quickly.

How To Get Rid Of A Tree Stump Fast?

The fastest way to remove a tree stump, with and without using a grinder, is the chemical method. By applying chemicals to holes drilled into the stump, you speed up the natural decay process and the remaining tree fibers and roots will break down much more quickly. It is considered one of the best ways to remove a tree stump from your yard. Here is how to use this method by following these steps.

DIY Steps To Rotting A Tree Stump From A Leading Arborist:
Begin on a dry day or after a number of dry days if possible. This way the tree stump will be looking for liquid and nutrients and will soak up the chemicals faster.

If you are capable, use a chainsaw to cut the remaining part of the tree as close to the ground as possible. By doing this the chemicals will have less material to eat through. Chainsaws can be dangerous though, so make sure you always use caution, wear steel-toed boots and eye protection.

Once the tree stump is as close to the ground as you can comfortably get it to go, drill a number of holes into the top of the stump and along the sides in a downward direction. The bigger the drill bit the better, and each of the holes should be a few inches deep.
After drilling the holes into the stump in different places, you will apply the chemicals that will break down the remaining wood. Utah does have strict legal restrictions about the kind of chemicals you can purchase for this sort of project. Ideally, you would want a commercial fertilizer that is high in nitrogen, since it will give you the fastest results, but cow manure is also effective. Another more natural alternative is Epsom salt. It is also a cost-effective solution as a 19lbs page starts at $10. It has similar dissolving properties to nitrogen but is a more organic approach. When you have chosen the chemical you will use, pack the holes with as much of it as you can.

Then soak the ground around the stump and wet the top and sides of the stump. After the stump is wet, cover it with a plastic tarp to trap the moisture around the stump. Moisture is ultimately what will help the chemicals break down the wood particles faster.
The next step is to apply mulch over the top of the plastic tarp. Organic mulch, like hay or tree bark, is best for this task as it will retain more moisture and help to keep the tarp in place.

You can use rocks and stones to weigh down the tarp further to help keep it in place, although this step is considered optional.
Once you have completed all of these steps, you are officially rotting a tree stump. This process is a speeding up of nature, and we all know that nature can take its time, so you should expect that it will take some time to work. How can you speed up the stump rot process even more? You can repeat the rotting steps periodically if you notice the mulch has grown dry.

How Much Does It Cost To Remove A Stump?

The overall cost for a stump removal is largely dependent on the method you choose to use. If you chose to do it yourself, it would be the cost of materials needed. Whereas, if you live in the nearby Utah area, with easy access to the stump, the average cost is about $6 per inch in diameter with $150-$200 minimum charge.

Looking To Remove a Tree Stump Quickly?

Ultimately, the quickest way to remove your tree stump and return your yard to a flat surface is the method of stump grinding. Although our grinding services are limited, if you are in need of a tree removal service in the Utah, area, or if you are looking to get some stumps removed don’t hesitate to contact the tree experts.

If you’re not a current or past tree client and have a stump you’d like removed, read more about stump rot and how to safely remove the tree stump yourself.

When your stump is ground, you can expect that there will be no masses of the stump left underground. The stump grindings, which are the wood shavings from the stump mixed with dirt, are left behind. You can use these grindings as mulch around your yard. Please remove the grindings prior to replanting any plants or trees in that area.

Tree Removal Farmington Utah

Tree Removal Farmington Utah

Trusted Arborist Offering Tree Trimming & Spraying In Farmington, Utah

Tree removal can be a necessary task for a variety of reasons. Some common reasons for removing a tree include disease or damage, safety concerns, and lack of space. Before removing a tree, it’s important to consider the potential consequences and alternatives. Tree removal can negatively impact the environment by reducing the amount of carbon sequestration and wildlife habitat. Additionally, removing a tree can increase the risk of soil erosion and lead to a loss of property value. If the tree is not a safety hazard and is not causing damage, alternatives such as pruning or cabling may be a better option.

If tree removal is necessary, it should be done by a professional arborist. They will have the proper equipment and training to safely remove the tree without causing damage to property or injury to themselves or others. The arborist will also be able to properly dispose of the tree in an environmentally friendly way.

The process of removing a tree begins with an assessment of the tree and the surrounding area. The arborist will determine the best method of removal based on the size and location of the tree, as well as the potential hazards and obstacles.

One common method of tree removal is called “roping.” This involves using ropes to lower pieces of the tree to the ground in a controlled manner. This method is typically used for smaller trees or trees in tight spaces.

Another method is called “section cutting.” This involves cutting the tree into smaller sections using a chainsaw, then lowering the sections to the ground with ropes. This method is typically used for larger trees or trees in open spaces.

After the tree has been removed, the arborist will grind or remove the tree’s stump. This is an important step to prevent the tree from re-growing and causing future problems.

It’s important to note that tree services should be performed by licensed, trained professionals to avoid any damage to the tree or property, and also to ensure safety.

Tree services refer to a variety of services related to the care and maintenance of trees. These services can include tree pruning, tree removal, tree planting, stump grinding, and more. Tree services are typically provided by professional arborists, who are trained and certified in the proper care and maintenance of trees. Some tree services also include landscaping services, such as lawn care and garden maintenance.

Tree Trimming

The Farmington City Tree Stewardship ordinance (15A-25-03) requires a 14-foot clearance over the road and/or 8-foot clearance over sidewalks. The ordinance also requires residents to prune trees/vegetation on their property as well as on adjacent park strips to meet the height requirements. In addition, the sight triangle at intersections shall be cleared of any obstruction that creates a traffic hazard.

Annually, the Streets Division tree crew will inspect trees and vegetation on those streets scheduled for maintenance. If you receive a yellow “Pruning Notice”, the City is requesting that you make the necessary pruning of the tree(s)/vegetation in order to conform to the item checked on the notice. This action would need to take place within the next 14 days after receipt of the notice and you are responsible for removing and disposing of the trimmings.

Tree/Vegetation Removal

If your tree(s)/vegetation is determined to be a hazard and needs to be removed, you will receive a green “Tree/Vegetation Removal” card. On the card, the City is requesting that you remove the tree(s)/vegetation in order to conform to the item checked. This action would need to take place within the next 14 days after receipt of the notice and you are responsible for disposing of the tree(s)/vegetation.

We have been very careful in our evaluation of each tree/vegetation. As a City, we are responsible for everything that impacts the public way, which includes the sidewalk and street. Your cooperation will make Farmington City a safer place for pedestrians and motorists.

Avoid working for this company. They will promise you things to get you in, then tell you there is no documentation about said things. Extremely unprofessional. Update to response - please dont try to justify. PTO was promised by the hiring manager on day 1 due to the conditions. Your company refusing to honor the agreement and tell me that there is no documentation is the problem. I quit after being told that you would not honor the PTO, not before.

Stump Removal Near Me

Stump Removal Near Me

Stump Removal Near Me

How to get rid of tree stumps is one of the most frequently asked question in the industry. Once you have had a tree removed you are left with a typically unsightly reminder, the stump. Tree stumps are an eyesore, a tripping hazard, and they can attract unwanted pests like termites or even fungi and bacteria. If left to simply decay and rot away on its own, without any sort of treatment, a stump can take up to ten years to disappear. When it comes to rotting a tree stump in Utah, the rate of decay depends on many different factors such as species of tree, size of the tree, and the climate and weather conditions.

As your leading Utah arborist, we do stump grinding in the Utah and surrounding area, although due to the demand we do have to limit our grinding services and can only offer it to current tree service clients and not as a standalone service.

To remove a tree stump you can try to tackle the job yourself, although stump grinders are quite heavy and can be difficult to use at times. So how do you get rid of a tree stump then? What is the best way? Well, the answer is in the original suggestion of letting it rot away, but doing so quickly.

How To Get Rid Of A Tree Stump Fast?

The fastest way to remove a tree stump, with and without using a grinder, is the chemical method. By applying chemicals to holes drilled into the stump, you speed up the natural decay process and the remaining tree fibers and roots will break down much more quickly. It is considered one of the best ways to remove a tree stump from your yard. Here is how to use this method by following these steps.

DIY Steps To Rotting A Tree Stump From A Leading Arborist:

Begin on a dry day or after a number of dry days if possible. This way the tree stump will be looking for liquid and nutrients and will soak up the chemicals faster.

If you are capable, use a chainsaw to cut the remaining part of the tree as close to the ground as possible. By doing this the chemicals will have less material to eat through. Chainsaws can be dangerous though, so make sure you always use caution, wear steel-toed boots and eye protection.

Once the tree stump is as close to the ground as you can comfortably get it to go, drill a number of holes into the top of the stump and along the sides in a downward direction. The bigger the drill bit the better, and each of the holes should be a few inches deep.

After drilling the holes into the stump in different places, you will apply the chemicals that will break down the remaining wood. Utah does have strict legal restrictions about the kind of chemicals you can purchase for this sort of project. Ideally, you would want a commercial fertilizer that is high in nitrogen, since it will give you the fastest results, but cow manure is also effective. Another more natural alternative is Epsom salt. It is also a cost-effective solution as a 19lbs page starts at $10. It has similar dissolving properties to nitrogen but is a more organic approach. When you have chosen the chemical you will use, pack the holes with as much of it as you can.

Then soak the ground around the stump and wet the top and sides of the stump. After the stump is wet, cover it with a plastic tarp to trap the moisture around the stump. Moisture is ultimately what will help the chemicals break down the wood particles faster.
The next step is to apply mulch over the top of the plastic tarp. Organic mulch, like hay or tree bark, is best for this task as it will retain more moisture and help to keep the tarp in place.

You can use rocks and stones to weigh down the tarp further to help keep it in place, although this step is considered optional.
Once you have completed all of these steps, you are officially rotting a tree stump. This process is a speeding up of nature, and we all know that nature can take its time, so you should expect that it will take some time to work. How can you speed up the stump rot process even more? You can repeat the rotting steps periodically if you notice the mulch has grown dry.

How Much Does It Cost To Remove A Stump?

The overall cost for a stump removal is largely dependent on the method you choose to use. If you chose to do it yourself, it would be the cost of materials needed. Whereas, if you live in the nearby Utah area, with easy access to the stump, the average cost is about $6 per inch in diameter with $150-$200 minimum charge.

Looking To Remove a Tree Stump Quickly?

Ultimately, the quickest way to remove your tree stump and return your yard to a flat surface is the method of stump grinding. Although our grinding services are limited, if you are in need of a tree removal service in the Utah, area, or if you are looking to get some stumps removed don’t hesitate to contact the tree experts.

If you’re not a current or past tree client and have a stump you’d like removed, read more about stump rot and how to safely remove the tree stump yourself.

When your stump is ground, you can expect that there will be no masses of the stump left underground. The stump grindings, which are the wood shavings from the stump mixed with dirt, are left behind. You can use these grindings as mulch around your yard. Please remove the grindings prior to replanting any plants or trees in that area.

Stump Grinding FAQs

What is the average cost for stump grinding?

If you live in the nearby Utah Metro area with easy access to the stump, stump grinding cost averages about $6 per inch in diameter with a $150-$200 minimum. Anything that makes the stump harder to access and remove such as a fence or retaining wall or anything breakable such as a flagstone patio would increase the price from there. Also removing the stump grindings is almost always an additional charge.

Is It better to grind a stump or remove it?

There are many ways how to get rid of tree stumps, and there are advantages and disadvantages for either removing a stump or grinding it. For removing a stump the advantage is there is no stump grinding left behind. The disadvantages are that removing all but the smallest stumps usually requires large equipment such as a loader or excavator. In addition, it is usually pretty hard to find a place to dispose of them. For grinding a stump the advantages are that it can be done to almost any stump in any location or a reasonable fee and the disadvantages are that the grinding as usually left behind for the property owner to deal with.

Can you grind down a tree stump with a chainsaw?

There are stump grinders that attach to a chainsaws powerhead, but grinding a stump with a regular chainsaw would be exceptionally difficult as the chain would dull every time it hit even a small amount of dirt. It also sounds very dangerous.

Can I use ground up tree stump as mulch?

Yes, a ground-up tree stump makes an excellent mulch product.

How much does it cost to rent a stump grinder from Home Depot?
In the Utah Metro area $299 per day and $209 for 4 hours as of 3/20/19 to rent a grinder for stump removal in Utah, OR.

Does stump grinding kill roots?

No, in fact, the roots are sometimes spurred to grow more from the shock of having the tree removed and stump ground out.

Does tree removal include the stump?

The answer is almost always no. The removal of the stump in the ground is for an additional fee. Tree removal bids are very specific so any extra services such as stump grinding, wood removal, or tree removal permits are not included unless expressly stated.

Will tree stumps attract termites?

Yes, but not all termites will damage your home. It will take an exterminator to determine which kind you have should your stump become infested.

Can a tree grow back from a stump?

Depending on the type of tree they can grow back but this would not be a tree that you would want to keep as its structure would be compromised and thus it would be likely to fail and damage your property.

We loved the results and they guarantee all plants and trees up to a year. They were great and easy to work with. They listened to our needs and wants and met them 100%.

Avoid working for this company. They will promise you things to get you in, then tell you there is no documentation about said things. Extremely unprofessional. Update to response - please dont try to justify. PTO was promised by the hiring manager on day 1 due to the conditions. Your company refusing to honor the agreement and tell me that there is no documentation is the problem. I quit after being told that you would not honor the PTO, not before.

Stump Grinding Near Me

Stump Grinding Near Me

WHAT IS STUMP GRINDING?

When providing a proposal for a tree removal, an arborists also evaluate the site for stump grinding. While having the stump ground is not always necessary, many people prefer to deal with the stump at the same time as having the tree removed. Stump grinding allows the property owner to use the area where the tree once stood for laying sod or planting a flower bed. The stump grinder also produces mulch that has many uses around the yard. Here are answers to some common questions we get about stump grinding.

HOW DEEP CAN THE STUMP GRINDER GO?

They generally grind four to six inches below grade (ground level). If deeper grinding is needed, it can be requested, although the price of stump grinding may increase. The depth to which a stump can be ground is subject to some limitations, however. The stump-grinding blade has a diameter of about 10 inches, and can only be maneuvered up and down within a specific range.
A tree that grew in shallow soil, such as over the limestone bedrock prevalent in the Dallas area, may not have six inches of grindable depth.

Other material near or around the tree may limit how deep the grinder can go. While the stump grinder is powerful, it is only designed to handle plant material, wood, and dirt. Take note of:

Fencing, concrete, brick, or rock around a stump (such as a tree ring)

Nearby trees that may have roots under the tree stump

Swimming pools, walkways, and patios that may prevent the grinder from reaching all of the root material

Lawn irrigation, sprinkler systems, tree lighting wiring, and buried hoses

We generally do not grind deep enough to risk interfering with properly-installed utility lines or buried cables, but unforeseen obstacles can be encountered that necessitate a shallower grind.

What exactly lies beneath the roots of a tree or the surrounding soil may be a mystery, even to the homeowner. While we are very careful when grinding a stump, we will not take responsible for damage to irrigation lines or other items located below ground that we are not aware of. It is important to inform your arborist of any sprinkler systems or other objects that might be in the area to be ground before the work begins.

WHAT IS LEFT AFTER A STUMP IS GROUND?

As the blade grinds the stump and surface roots, it produces a mulch made up of tree material and dirt. The mulch produced by stump grinding can take up a much greater volume than the original stump. (It can be helpful to think of the difference between a block of cheese and that same cheese after it is grated.)

Mulch from stump grinding is valuable organic material that decomposes more quickly than many other kinds of mulch, as there are generally smaller wood particles present, and more soil to help it break down. It is our standard practice to push the mulch back into the area that has been ground (“backfilling”). Even so, there is usually a large pile of mulch left above ground, often much more than the tree owner expected. Because of its composition, the mulch does settle fairly quickly, but many people prefer to use the mulch around their yards, rather than leaving it where the stump once was.

Stump grinder mulch can be used for composting or applied in flower beds. (Depending on exact composition of the mulch, it may not perform in the same way as typical hardwood mulch, and may need to be replaced sooner.) After some time, when the mulch has settled, it can be packed into the ground-out area, making the area ready to be prepped for laying sod or for planting a flower bed or other small plants. If requested, we can provide mulch bagging and/or bagged mulch haul-off as an additional service after stump grinding, but our standard practice is to leave all grinder mulch on-site.

WILL THE TREE COME BACK AFTER A STUMP IS GROUND?

Even with stump grinding, some species of tree can still send up shoots and new growth from the roots left below ground. Crape myrtles, chinaberry trees, hackberries, and Bradford pears are some common species in the area that can be very persistent in growing back. The sprouts that return after stump grinding can be trimmed or mown down and will eventually stop coming back, as the remaining roots use up their energy reserves. Commercially-available woody stem killer can be used to accelerate the dieback of the roots. White vinegar can also be used as an organic alternative to commercial root killer.

CAN I REPLANT AFTER A STUMP IS GROUND?

We are often contacted about removing a tree that the owner would like to replace. We do not recommend trying to re-plant trees in the same area where a tree was removed and the stump ground. Even with a deep grind, an extensive root system remains underground. The old root system can interfere with the new tree’s attempts to become established. Furthermore, if the old tree had a disease, that disease may still be present in the remaining root tissue, and can be transmitted to the new tree. When replanting is desired, we can discuss finding a location that is far enough from the removed tree to lessen the likelihood of interference from the old root system. If homeowners’ association or municipal restrictions require a tree to be replaced in a certain location, excavation or hand digging may be the only options.

CAN EVERY STUMP BE GROUND?

In the case of a tree becoming uprooted (because of storm damage or root rot, for example), the stump cannot be dealt with as easily. If there is a large amount of root material above ground, the stump grinder may be physically unable to reach it. Depending on the type of tree and how it grew, it may pull up a great deal of dirt, turf grass, and other underground material when it falls. What is left after grinding an uprooted stump may be more dirt than tree matter, and may not be suitable for use as mulch.

Weather is also a factor that can determine how and when stump grinding can be performed. A long period of rain can cause the soil to become waterlogged. Operating a stump grinder in heavy, wet soil can not only make a bigger mess than usual, but can damage the surrounding area due to the weight of the machine. It may be necessary to wait until the area dries out before attempting even a “standard” stump grind.

If a customer has a special circumstance, like an uprooted tree, or there are multiple stumps in one area to be ground, we always send an arborist to assess the situation before providing a quote or scheduling the stump grinder.

HOW MUCH DOES STUMP GRINDING COST?

The cost of stump grinding is dependent upon three main factors: the size of the stump, the location of the stump, and how deep the grinder needs to go. While we generally provide a stump grinding price when we give a quote for tree removal, we are also happy to evaluate any other stumps you may want to have ground.

HOW DO I MEASURE A STUMP?

The base cost for stump grinding is determined by the diameter of the stump in inches, including any above-ground roots. This measurement can be taken before or after a tree is removed. To get the right measurement, it is important to go “from dirt to dirt.” This means measuring from the stump edge or root point (where it touches the dirt) farthest from the trunk to the opposite edge or root point. It is also important to measure from different directions and to take an average measurement, as this most accurately reflects the area to be ground. The “dirt-to-dirt” measurement can be quite a bit larger than the diameter of the tree trunk, and we do see situations where the stump grinding is more costly than removing the above-ground tree.
This is a 75-inch stump, measured “dirt to dirt” at the yellow line. Measuring on the trunk is inaccurate: if this tree were measured at the red line, the result would only be 37 inches, which is not the actual area to be ground. Even after a tree is cut down, properly measuring a stump can be tricky when there is a root flare and surrounding vegetation.

CAN THE STUMP GRINDER REACH MY STUMP?

Our standard stump grinder is a machine that is seven feet long and three feet wide. At the front is a rounded blade (similar to the tip of a chainsaw) that chips away wood as it moves across the stump. The stump grinder is designed to fit through standard gates, but some older or narrow gates may not be able to accommodate it. The weight of the machine may also prevent it from reaching certain areas without damaging walkways or ground cover. While the grinding blade has some maneuverability, clearance of at least seven feet on one side of the stump is required to allow the grinder to access the area to be ground. In smaller areas with less clearance, it is possible to use our smaller stump grinder, but this can increase the time and cost of the procedure.

CAN I JUST LEAVE THE STUMP?

It is not necessary to grind or otherwise remove a stump after a tree is taken down. We have customers who request a tree not be cut all the way to ground level, and use the remaining stump as a plant stand, table base, or just a yard feature. Even if the stump is cut close to the ground, it can last several years. Preservative coatings can also be applied to prolong the life of a standing stump.

Some homeowners prefer to let a stump decompose naturally over time. Old stumps can become habitats for fungi, insects, and other creatures. As the stump breaks down, it can become rich organic material that can be added to compost or used in planting. If a stump is left unground, however, it can continue to send out new growth for years after the tree has been removed. Drilling holes in the stump and filling with Epsom salt or using commercial stump killer can accelerate stump dieback, but those chemicals can be toxic to surrounding plant life. Treating the stump with chemicals can also make the area hazardous to people and pets.

Cheap Tree Removal Near Me

It is human nature to search for the cheapest time of year for tree removal, but it’s not always possible.
Nationally, the average price for removing a tree is about $850, but that can change dramatically and painfully for your budget depending on the size of the tree, its location, and if you want the stump and roots removed with it.

However, you can, in general, use one trick for cheap tree removal, which can reduce the price by about half.

In the summer months, trees are in full bloom, branches are heavy with fruits, flowers, and leaves are bursting with green, they’re getting that much sunlight.

It is during these months that arborists and tree services are at their busiest, scaling up and down tall trees, trimming, pruning, and generally tending to the trees’ well being.

Now would not be a good time to ask how much does tree removal cost. However, free tree removal services may be available, such as free tree removal for seniors or free tree removal in exchange for wood.

Not only would you have to join the list of clients they already have booked, but the price will probably convince you that that tree teetering precariously over your house will hang in there for just a little bit longer.

It will be better to wait until the sun has shifted its attention to another part of the country and the weather has turned decidedly chillier before you try to lower your tree removal cost by removing trees in winter.

The cheapest time of year for tree removal has to be the winter months of February and March, classed as the dormant period for trees when the leaves are gone, the branches are bare, and the ground is frozen.

This time of year is regarded as ideal for removing a tree, and it is also beneficial for the environment at the same time. With the surrounding ground being frozen, there will be less upheaval to the neighboring flora when the stump and roots are being dug up.

But best of all, most of the tree companies are low on work and are offering discounts to get work in to keep them busy through these few slow months.

So, if that teetering tree hasn’t teetered all the way over, now would be a good time to ask what a good price for tree removal is.

How Much To Get Trees Cut Down: How Much Do Arborists Charge?

It is important to recognize that arborists are qualified in their area of expertise which is arboriculture. They have undergone lengthy exams, gained certifications over years of study, and know trees from the roots to the crown.

A qualified arborist will charge anywhere from $230 up to $2,000 for a tree removal service depending on the size, location, and complexity.

That is not to say that a local tree company will deliver an inferior service and there will be several in your area that will have an online presence to verify if is it always cheaper to remove a tree in winter and to get competitive quotes.

The Best Time of Year To Hire Tree Service: How Much Does It Cost To Have a Tree Trimmed?

Even though it is not as severe an undertaking as cutting down an entire tree, trimming requires the expertise of a specialist so it is done correctly.

For instance, some tree companies may advise “topping,” or removing the top branches from your trees, expanding the service that you had initially called them in for, actually causing harm rather than help.

An unnecessary procedure like this may cause the tree to become stressed, prone to other illnesses, and possibly other major health problems. Certain species can also be more expensive.

By using a certified arborist at the cheapest time of year for tree removal, any undetected diseases lurking among the leaves could be detected while the tree is being examined, and if any problems are discovered they can be treated before it becomes fatal.
A company Inexperienced and untrained in disease detection could easily overlook any growing spores or fungi, and just remove the few dead branches without getting to the root of the problem.

A tree removal cost calculator would reveal the best time of year to hire their services, which is normally the slow winter season, and would also require information such as:
Type of Tree
Height of the tree
Width of the tree
Location of the property
Trim or pruning required
Root removal
Trunk and stump removal
Number of trees
Start date
Financing required

There are a few signs that no matter how long a tree has been in your yard that is time for it to be uprooted and hauled away.
Storm damage, pests, or a disease that has run rampant throughout the tree, weakening the trunk and roots, can be a clear sign that it’s time to call in the professionals.

The trick is knowing how to negotiate tree removal.

A tree specialist can determine if a tree is salvageable by determining if removal is the only option if there is a danger to property or persons if it falls over, or just if the tree is dying.

Several clear signs that a tree is perishing are dead branches, the trunk becoming hollow and weak, or the bark and leaves appearing lifeless.

Occasionally, a simple tree root problem can end up being the reason for its removal.

Certain trees have roots that spread far and wide in the search for water and nutrients, and they let nothing stand in their way.
In fact, so strong are some roots that they have broken through asphalt, and paving stones, overbalanced nearby trees, and even threatened the foundations of houses.

In these scenarios, action needs to be taken regardless of whether it is the cheapest time of year for tree removal or if you have to pay the going rate to prevent any potentially expensive property repairs.

There is a feasible method to get a 50% discount, however. Let’s have a look at how that could be possible.

How Can I Save on Tree Removal if I Need It Done in the Busy Season and Not in the Cheapest Time of Year for Tree Removal

When the quote is received from a landscaping company it can sometimes be a shock to the system, even after the arborist has explained in detail that the price is what it is due to the awkward location of the tree that makes extracting it difficult.
The phrase back burner immediately springs to mind along with waiting for the cheapest time of year for tree removal.
But because you have procrastinated long enough already, you decide that now is the time to learn how to negotiate tree removal prices so the quote is at least within arms reach of your budget.

Savings can be made by clearing away any obstructions near the trunk that will restrict the contractor or any machinery from getting close to the tree to be removed. But a trick that can shave off nearly 50% of the quote is where the trunk is cut from the stump.

It is well known that stump removal is the labor-intensive segment of tree removal that not many tree companies relish undertaking.
Why? Because it takes time away from more lucrative jobs that are a lot easier and quicker to do. You can learn how to kill a tree stump yourself and save funds.

Regardless of whether it is the cheapest time of year for tree removal, negotiating with them to cut the trunk free just above ground level will save a bundle. Then since the majority of the hard work has been done, the remainder of the tree stump can be removed by hiring a grinder for a couple of hours to chop it down into more manageable chunks.

Within a few hours, the stump can be cut it free, all the roots removed, and the hole filled in.

How Much To Cut Down a 50-Foot Pine Tree?

Even if you wait for the cheapest time of the year for tree removal, the size of your tree is still going to dictate how much it is going to cost to uproot it and haul it away. Pricing can be based on certain size categories, and the bigger the tree the pricier it is.

These prices are not cast in stone and can also vary between states, as well as how easy it is to fully extract the tree due to access or overhead obstructions. Even the girth of the trunk can influence the final price and many online calculators will request this information.

Free Tree Removal and Free Tree Removal in Exchange for Wood

You may be surprised to learn that it is possible to get your tree cut down and removed from your property for free, irrespective of if it is the cheapest time of year for tree removal.

In some localities, for example, there are programs that offer free tree removal for seniors to avoid potential risks brought on by decaying, dead, or dying trees, and also households with lower incomes can get assistance.
