Trees take a lot of time and care to grow into mature, healthy, beautiful contributions to your landscape aesthetics. Watching a tree that you have cared for and helped mature become infected with a disease and even die is tough. Trees, just like people, can get diseases and become sick. Infectious tree mold and diseases can spread quickly and can wipe out your entire tree population.
Rotting tree stumps are perfect habitats for mold, fungus, and diseases to grow. Leaving tree stumps on your property can be dangerous to every other tree and plant that you have. Infectious tree diseases, just like in humans, can spread quickly and infect an entire area.
The money you will pay to get a stump removed can save you thousands in the long run by not having to pay for treatments or replacements for every other tree and plant on your property. That’s why choosing professional tree stump grinding services in Portland, OR is so important.

It can take up to 10 years depending on the stump for it to decay all the way. Think seriously about how many times you will mow your yard over the course of 10 years. It’s a lot. When you mow around a stump it is impossible to get up close to the stump. What this means is that you will either have to weed eat around the stump each time you mow your yard or leave the grass. If you chose to leave the grass growing around your stump it will make your yard look even worse than just the stump and it will also become a hazard because you won’t be able to see the stump and can trip over it. Having Monkeyman’s tree service perform quick stump removal for you will be well worth it in future time and effort you would have spent weed eating and mowing around the stump and the possible injury liability potential. Clients of ours are regularly surprised at how inexpensive it can be to have us come out and perform a stump grinding service on your stumps.

When you remove a stump from your property, one of the things that it does is creates usable ground so you can plant something new. When stump grinding is performed correctly the stump is ground down well below the surface of the ground. This allows new root systems to thrive even the root systems of another tree. Stump grinding provides a chemical-free way of removing your stump quickly and without much hassle so that you can plant a new landscape. If the stump was in the middle of the yard stump grinding allows you to cover the place that the stump was immediately with dirt and plant grass. It will grow with no hassle over the place the stump was.

The cost of a tree removal depends on a number of factors, namely; the height of the tree, the risks involving the condition of the tree, the terrain, and the accessibility of the tree.
An 80 foot tree sandwiched between 2 multi-million dollar homes on a cliff side containing 18 bees nests is going to cost a bit more than a 10 foot apple tree in the middle of a field (and no bees nests).
The time in which it takes to remove a tree depends on many of the same conditions that determine the cost of a tree removal, like the height, conditions and accessibility of the tree.
Most average to small trees can be removed, chipped, and hauled away in 3-6 hours. Larger trees that require climbing, are hard to access, and are very large, may take a day or two. Either way, we will give you an estimated time before we begin work to make sure that we are all on the same page.

Great Crew, and I certainly recommend Monkeyman's Tree Service!Posted on C BachmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The crew were professional and did a great job cutting the dead limbs off our plum tree and trimmed out overgrown apple tree.Posted on Connie BaileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They arrived in time and the work was more than I expectedPosted on Ken CuddTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Crew 4 showed up on time. Nelson who ran the crew was very knowledgeable and as soon as he saw the widow maker in the tree he said “let’s go get that”. The whole crew was on all the limbing and clean up. They also cut a large branch that cracked under the weight of numerous apples this year. They finished exactly when they estimated they would. I highly recommend them and will use them again.Posted on Mary PariettiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Monkeyman’s tree service was fantastic!
