“We have had a few other tree services out over the years and these guys are absolutely the most professional and still competitively priced. The cleanup after was impeccable, they were careful not to destroy our yard even with the ridiculous amount of rain we had (a difficult feat), and every guy on the crew was polite and professional. We had a complicated job with an 80+ ft pine leaning over a 2 story garage. It was obvious they took a lot of care to avoid any additional damage to the structure. I cannot recommend them enough.”

— Shelby W.

The Benefits of Removing Tree Stumps From Your De Soto Property

By Abundant Tree Care Services • September 23, 2026
When a tree is removed from your property, the remaining stump can be easy to overlook. However, an old stump can continue to create problems long after the tree itself is gone. It can interfere with landscaping, attract pests, become a tripping hazard, and make your yard more difficult to maintain. At Abundant Tree Care Services, our local arborists provide expert stump grinding and removal in the greater De Soto, IL area. Here are four benefits of removing tree stumps. Improve Your Property's Appearance An old tree stump can make an otherwise attractive yard look neglected. Stumps may become discolored, cracked, or surrounded by weeds as they deteriorate. Removing them creates a cleaner appearance and gives you a blank area that can be incorporated into your landscaping plans. Whether you want to plant new grass or install a flower bed, eliminating the stump provides greater flexibility. Eliminate Tripping Hazards Stumps can create safety concerns, especially in areas where people regularly walk or children play. A partially buried or deteriorating stump may be difficult to see, particularly when covered by grass or weeds. Someone could trip over it and suffer an injury. Removing the stump eliminates this potential hazard. Discourage Pests Decaying wood can provide shelter and food for various insects and other pests. An aging stump may attract ants, termites, and other organisms that feed on or inhabit deteriorating wood. While removing a stump doesn't guarantee that pests will never visit your property, eliminating a potential source of shelter and food can help make the area less attractive to certain pests. Make Lawn Maintenance Easier Mowing and maintaining a lawn around an existing stump can be frustrating. You may need to carefully maneuver around it or trim grass and weeds by hand. Removing the obstacle makes mowing, edging, and other routine yard work simpler.

Warning Signs a Tree Is Dead or Dying and Should Be Inspected by an Arborist

By Abundant Tree Care Services • August 17, 2026
Unfortunately, trees can sometimes decline due to disease, pests, environmental stress, root problems, or severe weather damage. A dead or dying tree can become a major safety hazard if weakened branches or the entire tree fail unexpectedly. Recognizing the warning signs early and having the tree inspected by a professional arborist can help determine the best course of action. At Abundant Tree Care Services, our local arborists can identify dead and dying trees and safely remove them as necessary. Here are four signs that a tree may be dead or dying and should be evaluated. Lack of Leaves or Unusual Leaf Growth A healthy tree typically produces a full canopy of leaves during its growing season. A tree may be significantly stressed if it has fewer leaves than normal, large bare areas, or leaves that appear unhealthy. Problems such as disease, insect infestations, root damage, and poor growing conditions can all affect leaf production. An arborist can identify the cause and recommend treatments to improve the tree's health when possible. Splits or Other Damage to the Trunk The trunk provides essential support and stability for a tree. Cracks, deep splits, cavities, and areas of missing bark may indicate structural weaknesses or internal decay. These problems can compromise the tree's strength and increase the likelihood of it toppling. Because some damage may extend deeper than what is visible, a professional arborist can inspect the tree and determine how serious the issue is. Fungal Growth/Signs of Decay Fungi and soft or rotting areas around the trunk or base of a tree may be signs of internal decay. Decay can weaken important support tissues and make a tree more vulnerable to breaking. An arborist can assess whether the decay poses a safety concern and recommend the appropriate solution. Leaning/Instability A tree that suddenly begins leaning or appears unstable may have underlying structural or root problems. Issues such as damaged roots, soil erosion, or storm-related damage can affect a tree's ability to remain upright. A leaning tree near a home, driveway, or other structure should be inspected promptly because it may pose a serious safety risk.
