“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.

5 Reasons to Eliminate Stumps When Cutting Down Trees

By Abundant Tree Care Services • September 19, 2025
When trees are professionally cut down, many homeowners focus only on the removal of the trunk and branches, leaving behind the stump. At first glance, a stump may not seem like much of a problem, but over time it can create both practical and aesthetic challenges. Removing the stump along with the tree not only improves the look of your yard, but also helps avoid hidden issues that can surface later. At Abundant Tree Care Services, our local arborists provide expert stump grinding and removal in the greater De Soto, IL area. Here are five reasons why eliminating stumps is the smartest choice when having trees cut down. Prevents Regrowth Tree stumps may look lifeless, but in many cases, they can sprout new shoots and attempt to regrow. This regrowth can create clusters of small, weak trees that are unattractive and difficult to control. Even if you cut these shoots down repeatedly, they can continue to return as long as the stump and roots remain intact. Professional stump removal eliminates the chance of the tree coming back and saves you from ongoing yard maintenance. Improves Safety A tree stump can be a tripping hazard, especially if it’s in an area where children play or people walk regularly. They can also pose risks when mowing the lawn, as hidden stumps can damage equipment or cause accidents. By removing the stump completely, you reduce the chance of injury and create a safer outdoor environment. Enhances Curb Appeal A leftover stump can make even a well-maintained yard appear somewhat neglected. Stumps draw unwanted attention and detract from your home’s landscaping design. Eliminating them helps restore the natural beauty of your property, giving you a smooth, clean surface that can be replanted or redesigned as part of your landscape. Prevents Pest Problems Decaying tree stumps can attract unwanted pests such as termites, carpenter ants, beetles, and other wood-boring insects. These pests often move from the stump to nearby plants or even your home, causing extensive damage over time. Removing the stump eliminates this potential breeding ground and helps protect your property from infestations. Creates More Usable Space Every stump left behind takes up valuable yard space that could otherwise be put to better use. Whether you want to install a garden bed or simply enjoy more lawn, removing stumps gives you more flexibility with your landscaping plans.

4 Indications that a Tree Is Dying and You Should Schedule an Arborist Evaluation

By Abundant Tree Care Services • August 18, 2025
A dying tree isn’t just an eyesore—it can also become a serious safety hazard if it falls or sheds large limbs. Catching the warning signs early gives you a chance to act before the situation worsens. At Abundant Tree Care Services, our local arborists can identify dying trees and safely remove them as necessary. If you notice any of the following issues, it’s time to contact a certified arborist for a professional evaluation. Sparse or Discolored Leaves When a tree begins to decline, its foliage often shows signs of distress first. You may see thinning leaves, discolored patches, or leaves that drop earlier than expected. In deciduous trees, this could mean the tree is not getting enough water or nutrients due to root damage or internal decay. In evergreen trees, browning needles or branches that are bare on one side warrant professional assessment. Leaf health is one of the best indicators of overall tree vitality. Trunk Has Cracks/Splits Visible cracks in the trunk are often a sign of internal weakness. Deep vertical splits or bark that is peeling away can indicate decay within the interior of the tree. These structural weaknesses can make the tree more vulnerable to breaking or falling, especially during storms or high winds. If you spot significant cracks or areas where the bark is missing, it’s a sign that the tree should be evaluated without delay. Dead/Hanging Branches Large dead branches, especially those located high in the canopy, are common indications of a dying tree. These limbs become brittle and can snap unexpectedly, posing a danger to people and property below. Dead branches may also point to deeper problems in the tree’s vascular system. An arborist can determine whether the tree is still salvageable or if removal is the safest option. Leaning with Exposed Roots A tree that suddenly begins to lean or has visible, exposed roots may be experiencing root failure. This can happen due to disease, soil erosion, or storm damage. When roots can no longer anchor the tree properly, it becomes unstable and dangerous. A leaning tree should always be taken seriously and assessed by a professional to determine the best course of action.
