American Tree Care is a local family owned business. We've been serving king and snohomish counties for over 15 years. Ammon Harris, the owner, takes pride in serving our community. You will work directly with him from the first conversation until the last tree is on the ground. We believe in honesty, fair pricing and plain hard work. Ammon is a 4th generation tree expert, and draws on that experience to give you the best service possible.
"I had American Tree Care out in 2012 and they did a great job, so I contacted Ammon last fall about coming out again and doing more cleanup in my yard. I had a dead alder tree that looked like it was about to fall over (but woodpeckers loved!) removed entirely and the stump ground. I had some really out-of-control trees on both side yards removed and stumps ground as well. And some other trees in my back yard, I had him remove what branches he felt needed to be removed in order to clean up the appearance and make them safer, and remove several branches that were hanging over neighbor's property removed so they didn't break off and drop on his plants or yard. My yard looks great and wide open now in areas where there was a lot of branches overhanging from neighbor's yards. (He pruned those back). I also had some wood in back that broke off in a windstorm that his crew cut into smaller pieces for me. They used a chipper to chop up all the branches, etc and left the pile in a place where I could spread them out to cover dirt to prevent weeds and moss. They did a great job cleaning up all the debris from the work they did. Very happy with the work the crew did today and I highly recommend them! Thanks Ammon!"

Cervantes Maintenance - Your Trusted Lawn and Yard Work Experts in Seattle. With over 10 years of experience, we deliver top-notch solutions to transform your outdoor spaces. Contact us today!
"Cervantes Maintenance came highly recommended by my real estate agent to give my neglected yard a makeover. The first items were functional, trim and shape a giant rose bush and laurel (hedge row) inside the yard along with overgrown vines and lavender sprawl along an extensive retaining wall. Next came the magic. The north and east (front) sides of the house get little sun. Grass was patchy, soil uneven and steep, and moss was destroyed by crows eating the grub infestation. Cervantes treated the soil for grubs and came up with a dramatic landscape design replacing the grass with a flat stone walk way and level patio, gravel and mulch, with a drainage system. They also pressure washed the walkways and front steps, making my entire yard welcoming and brand new. The whole project took two days. Crews worked tirelessly in the rain. Friendly service, on the spot problem solving. Competitive price. Sarah has an instinctive design eye and came up with the solutions and design for me."

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.
