Stump Buster in training

While they are pretty, Bradford Pears are notorious for splitting and losing large limbs, causing an eyesore in your yard. (They’re stinky too.🤢)

🌳 We can help you choose and plant an appropriate tree that is beautiful, sturdy, and beneficial to your landscape.

🪵 When you’re ready to start the replacement process, we can recommend reliable tree removal companies.

🙌 Let us help you save time and money by seamlessly removing the stump and replanting at the same time with our stump grinding business, Stump Busters.

The Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service is an awesome resource for accurate information!

🌸 Pretty blooms, but at what cost?

The invasive Bradford pear may look charming, but it’s a real problem for Arkansas landscapes! 😟

Not only does it crowd native plants, but it weakens ecosystems. And its white spring flowers smell like rotten fish! 💔🌳
