Driscoll Tree Service and its team are professional, friendly, and excellent at tree removal. Their prices are the best. We had them remove a completely dead tree and a super large branch. For both experiences, they came out fast and did an Incredible job. Highly recommend.

The service for Driscoll Tree Service was outstanding. Michael came out to meet with me, explained the pros and cons of how to deal with my tree removal, and provided a clear quote for the service. The crew that came out to do the work was on-time, professional and did a great job. One of the trees they had to remove was tall and in a spot where they couldn't get any heavy equipment to it, but they were able to take it down in pieces without damaging my landscaping or fence. If you are looking for a professional and competent tree service,  I definitely recommend calling Driscoll Tree Service.

The Best Way to Remove a Tree Stump

When a tree is cut down for whatever reason, the stump left behind is not just an eyesore but also a safety hazard on your premises. Waiting for the stump to decompose is not an option if you want an aesthetically appealing and healthy landscape, and having a tree service on hand can help. Driscoll Tree Service leverages cutting-edge equipment and techniques to eliminate the stump with minimum damage. If you prefer a hands-on approach to stump removal, you must consult an expert to avoid rookie mistakes that result in safety hazards.

How to Remove a Tree Stumps Properly

secondary

After checking all the boxes, you can start the stump removal. There’s no doubt that stump removal is a rigorous endeavor, especially if you lack the experience and expertise to do the job. Before proceeding with the project, ensure you familiarize yourself with safety precautions to prevent harm. This entails wearing the proper protective equipment, such as boots, safety goggles, gloves and a hard hat.

Here are several ways to remove a tree stump. Assess the characteristics of the stump to determine the most suited removal technique. Size is an essential factor that impacts the method used since large and heavy stumps can be challenging for DIY removal solutions. Another factor to consider is root depth. A shallow-rooted stump is easy to remove, but a deep-rooted stump requires standard industry tools and experience. We can help you with the large tree stumps, alleviating the subsequent safety risks of DIY stump removal.

Using Tree Stump Killers

There are numerous stump killer products on the shelves of your local store; it can be challenging to determine the most effective and safe to use. Leverage our industry knowledge by scheduling a consultation with our experts, and have all your inquiries and concerns addressed. If the wrong stump killer product is used, you risk new root growth in the stump, making the removal process more complex.

Manual Tree Stump Removal

With the right tools and skill, removing the stump and root system is possible. This is probably the most physically demanding method to remove a stump in your yard. However, hiring a tree service professional relieves you of the literal heavy lifting involved in manual removal, ensuring the project is done efficiently and quickly.

Using a Stump Grinder

A stump grinder is a standard industry tool that shreds the stump into wood chips. Rather than incur the hefty cost of purchasing a grinding saw, you can hire one for about $100-$200, allowing you to remove stumps of all sizes easily. It is important to note that a stump grinder can cause serious harm, and users need to be trained to mitigate injuries.

We know how overwhelming removing a stump from your lawn is, especially if you lack the experience and skills required. If you don’t feel comfortable removing a stump, contact us at Driscoll Tree Service for professional assistance through the entire process. We conduct comprehensive inspections to ensure minimum damage without compromising the quality of service.
