After having a tree cut down, it might be tempting to leave the stump behind and let nature take its course. However, leaving stumps can lead to several problems, from creating eyesores to posing tripping hazards. At Sawtooth Tree Service, we provide expert stump removal in the greater Boise area. Here are five benefits of removing the stumps after cutting down trees. Prevent New Growth One of the biggest issues with leaving a tree stump behind is the potential for new growth. Many tree species can regrow from the stump, sprouting new shoots that become unsightly and difficult to manage. These shoots can also compete with nearby plants for nutrients, impacting the health of your landscaping. Removing the stump ensures that the tree is completely gone and won’t regrow. Improve Curb Appeal Tree stumps can be eyesores that detract from the beauty of your yard. By removing the stump, you create a clean, open space that enhances your home’s curb appeal. If you're thinking about selling your home, a stump-free yard will be more attractive to potential buyers. Reduce Risk of Pests Tree stumps can quickly become a magnet for pests such as termites and ants. As the stump decays, it provides a perfect environment for insects to thrive. Some of these pests, particularly termites, can eventually make their way into your home, causing further damage. Removing the stump mitigates the risk of attracting unwanted pests to your property. Promote Safety Stumps left in your yard can be a safety hazard, especially if they’re in high-traffic areas. People, especially children, may trip over the stump, leading to injuries. Also, a hidden stump can damage lawn mowers or other yard equipment if not noticed in time. By removing the stump, you reduce the risk of accidents and equipment damage. Make Room for New Landscaping A tree stump can take up valuable space that could be used for other landscaping purposes. Whether you want to plant a new tree or install a patio, the presence of a stump can limit your options. Stump removal opens up space and allows you to make better use of your yard.

Maintaining the health and beauty of trees is important for your landscape, but when it comes to pruning, it's not a simple task that should be tackled without expertise. Hiring a professional arborist to handle your tree pruning is often the safest and most effective option. At Sawtooth Tree Service, our local ISA-certified arborists provide expert tree pruning in the greater Boise area. Here are four reasons why it's smart to leave this job to the experts instead of doing it yourself. Expert Knowledge of Tree Biology Arborists are trained in tree biology and understand how trees respond to pruning. They know exactly which branches to remove without causing harm to the tree. Improper pruning by someone without expertise can lead to issues like poor growth, increased susceptibility to pests and diseases, or even the death of the tree. An experienced arborist will ensure that the pruning process enhances the tree’s health rather than damages it. Proper Tools and Techniques Tree pruning requires specialized tools, such as high-quality saws and pruners, that are designed for the job. Using the wrong tools or improper techniques can result in rough cuts that leave the tree vulnerable to infection. Arborists use professional-grade equipment to make clean cuts that promote faster healing and reduce the risk of disease. Enhanced Safety Pruning trees, especially large or tall ones, can be a dangerous task. Climbing trees or using ladders while handling sharp tools puts you at risk of falling or otherwise injuring yourself. Arborists are trained in safety protocols and use the necessary equipment, such as harnesses and climbing gear, to perform the job safely. They are also experienced in assessing the structural integrity of the tree to avoid accidents caused by falling branches. Disease and Pest Detection When an arborist prunes your trees, they can also inspect them for signs of disease or pest infestations. Early detection of these issues can save your trees from serious damage or even death. An arborist’s trained eye can spot potential problems that might go unnoticed by an untrained person. By catching these issues early, arborists can recommend treatments to preserve the health of your trees.

The Sawtooth Tree Service crew safely removed a very large dead linden (50 ft +) from my yard. All material was taken away except for what we requested to save for firewood which was neatly stacked. The stump was ground down making it easy to overseed with grass. Skilled and friendly, these guys know how to handle a chainsaw! Thanks for doing a great job!” — Michelle M. “Sawtooth Tree Service did a phenomenal job removing a large limb from a silver maple that was hanging over our house. They are fast, efficient, safe and thorough, and they left a very clean job site. If you need tree work done, give Sawtooth a call!” — Ben B. “Patrick, Dave and their team did a great job taking down our tree which was very close to our house. Their price was very reasonable, the team was professional and they were very accommodating and kind. Thank you so much for your help!” — Janet G. “Sawtooth helped us twice on short notice. In Fall when we had a very big Blue Spruce about to fall down, and again in Spring after late snow broke our Crabapple. Both times they were prompt, efficient, and skilled. They cleaned up the problems, left no mess, and their arborist on the team took good care of our trees. They quoted much less than their competition, also. We would definitely choose Sawtooth for future tree work in our yard.” — Robb B. “We had Sawtooth Tree Service remove a maple tree and grind a couple stumps in our back yard after receiving a recommendation from a friend that used the company for a job. The crew did an excellent job! Easy process from getting a quote to the job completion and payment. Reasonably priced and excellent site cleanup. Thank you guys! Highly recommended.” — Marley M.
