I had a tree I wanted removed because it was too close to the house. I called a tree guy. He came out and did a nice job cutting down the tree. He asked me what I thought. I said, “It’s nice, but what about the stump?” He informed me that he was just a tree guy who cut down trees, if I wanted the stump removed, I would need to call a stump guy.

I found a highly recommended stump guy. He came and got the stump out. He says, “There you go.” I found a highly recommended stump guy. He came and got the stump out. He says, “There you go.” I asked him about the hole. He says, “I’m a stump guy and just remove stumps. I don’t fill in the holes.” He told me I would need to call a landscaper. I get ahold of a landscaper and I tell him, “I’m fixing to leave town on a trip. I don’t care what you do, just fix the hole and make it look nice. “I got back today and found out he planted a friggin tree.
