Princeton Tree Care is based in Mercer County in Princeton New Jersey. Our mission is the genuine care of our life giving trees. Professional service to our clients is our highest mission. The Princeton Tree Care experience enhances lives, improves community and fulfills even the unexpressed wishes and needs of our planet. After Sandy in Princeton, New Jersey, a father and son armed with their camping axes took to the streets of their neighborhood to assist in clearing downed trees from across driveways. What started as an act of service quickly grew into a passion. Princeton Tree Care was formed in 2013, set on becoming one of New Jersey's premier tree care services. Our philosophies are focused on proper tree care and health. Through proper care, we can extend the stay of our valuable life giving trees. Utilizing proactive maintenance and pruning techniques, we greatly increase our safety while helping to protect the structure of our timber friends.
"Had five large trees that were in various states of decay, too close to my house and, in one case, impacting the neighbors deck/roof, so I called several tree companies for quotes. Matt from Princeton Tree Care came right out and discussed the job and the options with me. He was the only person who talked about the health of the trees and that one could be pruned rather than removed to achieve my goals. I share his belief in saving healthy trees where possible. He also gave me some tips on how I could save a very large and healthy holly tree from the scourge of English ivy which had started to creep up it. The quote from PTC wasnt the lowest, but it served the trees and landscape better than any of the others. The crew was prompt, friendly and professional. They treated my yard respectfully, were super fast, and did a great job on the removal and pruning, and left the yard looking better than when they arrived. I cannot recommend Princeton Tree Care enough."

Yes, grinding a stump is worthwhile if you plan to use the area for planting, recreation, or building. Removing the stump clears space for new landscaping or construction projects. Additionally, as the stump decomposes, it can rob the soil of nitrogen, affecting the growth of other plants. Stumps are also a tripping hazard, making removal a wise choice.
The time it takes to grind a stump depends on its size, density, and the grinder's performance. A small, soft stump can be ground in 15 minutes, while a large, dense stump may require up to eight hours for complete removal. Factors like the stump's structure and your grinding technique affect how quickly you can remove it.
Grinding a stump is often the best solution for clearing an area for construction or planting. It removes the visible portion of the stump, but the roots remain underground. If you need to remove the roots for long-term stability or design plans, you'll need to hire a professional for full stump and root removal. This ensures your site is completely cleared for future projects.
Leaving a tree stump in your yard can cause several problems. It can become a breeding ground for pests and diseases that might harm nearby trees and structures. Plus, the decaying stump can interfere with your landscaping plans, making mowing difficult and promoting unwanted new growth that can disrupt soil stability. Removing the stump eliminates these risks and improves your yard's safety and appearance.
To effectively kill a stump, you need to interrupt its nutrient supply and speed up decay. Drill holes into the stump and fill them with a concentrated herbicide like glyphosate, rock salt, or Epsom salt. This method ensures the substance penetrates deeply. Alternatively, cover the stump with a dark, heavy-duty tarp to deprive it of sunlight, which accelerates the process. Remember to follow safety guidelines when using these methods.
