Signs You Need Tree Removal
Determining whether a tree requires pruning, trimming, or removal can be challenging for property owners. A tree that looks “mostly fine” from the ground can still be structurally unsound or weakened internally. Here are three signs that indicate it’s time to call in a professional tree removal company like Nunnally’s Tree Service:
- Dead Branches: If your tree exhibits numerous dead branches, it may be an indication of significant decay or disease. Dead branches can pose serious risks, especially during storms or high winds, as they are prone to breaking and causing property damage or injury. In many cases, extensive deadwood in the canopy means the tree is in decline and removal is the safest long-term solution.
- Fungal Growth: The presence of fungi at the base of your tree is a sign of decay and can indicate internal rot. Fungal growth weakens the tree’s structure, compromising its stability and increasing the likelihood of falling branches or complete tree failure. Even if the upper canopy looks green and healthy, advanced decay at the base can make a tree extremely dangerous.
- Bark Peeling and Trunk Cracks: When you notice the bark peeling from the tree or observe cracks in the trunk, it may be indicative of a declining tree. These visible signs of distress can be caused by various factors, including disease, pests, or structural issues, and necessitate professional evaluation and potential removal. A leaning tree with trunk cracks is especially urgent and should be inspected as soon as possible.
If you notice any of these warning signs, a professional inspection can help you decide whether tree removal, pruning, or another approach is best.

Do You Remove The Tree Stump?
For most tree removal projects, there is almost always an unsightly stump left behind. Nunnally’s always offers stump grinding as an important final step in a tree removal. When you pair tree removal with stump grinding, you get a complete solution instead of a half-finished job. Here are some reasons why stump removal and stump grinding are worth considering:
Safety Concerns: Stumps can pose a tripping hazard, especially for children, pets, and the elderly. Grinding the stump reduces the risk of accidents.
Aesthetic Improvement: A remaining tree stump can be an eyesore and detract from the overall appearance of your yard or property.
Land Utilization: Stump grinding provides the opportunity to reclaim the area for other uses like planting a new tree, installing a playground, or expanding a garden.
Pest Control: Old tree stumps can attract pests like termites, ants, and other wood-boring insects. Grinding the stump helps to prevent these potential infestations.
Disease Prevention: Tree stumps can be a breeding ground for fungi and other tree diseases, which could spread to healthy trees nearby.
Ease of Lawn Maintenance: A level ground without stumps is easier to mow and maintain, saving time and effort in the long run.
Quick Process: Compared to other stump removal methods, grinding is generally faster and more efficient, requiring less manual labor.
What Is the Difference Between Stump Removal and Stump Grinding?
Stump removal and stump grinding are related, but they aren’t the same service.
- Stump removal usually means pulling the entire stump and root ball out of the ground. This can leave a large hole, disturb surrounding soil and plants, and often requires heavy equipment with more impact on the yard.
- Stump grinding uses a specialized machine to grind the stump down below the surface, turning it into wood chips. The roots are left to decompose naturally underground, and the area can be leveled and replanted or sodded.
In most residential situations, stump grinding is the superior option. It’s faster, more cost-effective, and far less disruptive to your landscape than full stump removal. Nunnally’s Tree Service recommends and offers stump grinding in the majority of cases, giving you a clean, level result without tearing up your yard.
Our stump grinding service is available as an add-on to any tree removal or as a standalone service if you have old stumps left from previous work.
Customer Testimonials
Don’t just take our word for it. We have received numerous positive testimonials from satisfied customers who have experienced our exceptional tree removal services firsthand. Their feedback speaks to our commitment to quality, professionalism, and customer satisfaction.
- We had Tasha come out for an estimate for a pretty big job. She is so knowledgeable! We talked about the reasons for removal of some big beautiful trees which I knew I would miss. We spared some of those beauties and reworked the estimate to one that made more sense. Communication was excellent for setting the appointment and I received an estimate later that day. She took into account buried gas, septic, and well as well as the possible effects of heavy equipment on the lawn and driveway. Would definitely recommend!!
Debbie R.10/03/2025 - We recently had Nunnally’s Tree Service come out for an estimate on a large and challenging job removing 4 massive Oak Trees from our backyard. The trees were all dangerously close to our home and with a septic on one side restricting heavy equipment, sprinkler system and further trees on the other side with a sloping yard I never thought it would even be possible. They had an estimate ready for me that same day!
The job was to have 4 trees taken down and trim up the other trees on our property. A couple of other companies mentioned we would need to remove our beloved Oak tree in our front yard because getting a crane over the house would be difficult but these guys handled it all with great confidence and like a boss!!
I am so impressed with this company. They had all the right “big boy toys” to tackle the job. Was shocked they got it all done in about 7 hours but everyone worked their buns off in the heat.
Thank you guys! Words are not enough to describe how relieved I am and $ well spent!!
Hoping we won’t need to have you out again for a long while…..but if we do; I know who to call!!

Front Yard Tree Removal with Crane in Woodlake, VA
Crane Removal Leaves Yard Untouched!
In this Woodlake neighborhood, our team was hired to remove three trees from a residential front yard. With limited space and a well-maintained lawn to protect, we brought in a crane to ensure a safe, efficient, and minimally invasive removal. Each tree was carefully lifted out in sections, avoiding any impact to the turf or surrounding landscape. Thanks to the precision of our crane operators and the planning of our arborist team, the project was completed without a single divot in the yard. The homeowners were thrilled to have the trees gone—and their lawn left in flawless condition. See more local tree service removals here
