Tree go away tomorrow

[sraun]

Last week - Thursday, I think - the city came and beheaded our boulevard tree. We've been expecting it for months - since July, maybe? And it looks like tomorrow they're going to come and take out the trunk.

Given the location of the boulevard trees north and south of us, I think we really want to have the replacement go in exactly where this one is. Which means no new tree until after the stump gets ground out. Our choices are wait for the city to do it - which, from recent observation, could be a couple of years; or to pay for someone to do it for us. Anyone local have recommendations for someone who grinds out stumps?

Alternatively, you could go out and drill holes in the stump. Then, as winter freezes and thaws, it will create lovely little crevices for insects, and thing could rot out quite quickly.

At the least, it's be fun to drill random holes into the stump.

When we needed tree work done, we ended up at www.servicemagic.com. Ended up with a great tree guy . . . take a look.

Which of these three did you actually mean?

Precision Landscape & Tree in Little Canada (I think this is the matching web site, but it's kind of broken.)
Precision Tree Care Company in Minneapolis
Precision Tree, Inc. in Elk River

Beats me. They cut down some big big big trees at a house I owned in 1994, so it was a while ago, and I don't remember. I also didn't hire them, the city of Minneapolis did.

They have a big blue ax they call Babe. That's all I have. Oh, and maybe they have a logo that's green.
