Tree removal can be dangerous, tricky or messy depending on the location, accessibility, topography, tree age, height and species. It takes a highly skilled and expert crew to get in there and remove the tree safely and properly. The last step is restoring the site with a thorough cleanup because no property owner wants to be left with thousands of tiny wood chips and debris scattered across the yard. A seasoned tree service company will leave your property looking healthy and tidy.
To Stump or Not: It’s Your Call
When you hire a professional tree service company to take down your tree, they will cut it to ground level. The tree stump will be left behind unless you request stump grinding service. When that is performed, the tree stump will be removed below ground level. During the process, wood chips will be left behind and blended into the soil. You can also have the grinding material removed. Some people like to use the grinding leftovers as mulch or for their compost pile and/or to fill in the hole after the stump grinding.
Arborists Take Preventive Measures
Our tree service crews are professionally trained to be efficient and detail oriented. Tree removal involves a lot of moving parts and specialized equipment to do the job correctly. For example, let’s say the tree is located in tight quarters. Sectional dismantling (from the top and carefully working down) would be the way to go.
Protecting the owner’s property is a priority, and sometimes, tree service crews will put up barriers to shield structures or carefully guide tree sections away from obstacles. This is part of the strategy of maintaining a clean and undamaged landscape.
Tree Services Use Woodchippers and Other Machinery
The woodchipper is one of the most important components of any expert tree service business. This powerful machine comes in various sizes and models. Its main mission is to shred trunks, branches, twigs, leaves and other woody debris into smaller, more manageable pieces in mere minutes. Without a woodchipper on the site, crews would spend hours cutting, hauling and disposing of the woody debris by hand.
Sometimes, skilled tree service crews also use axes, wedges and chainsaws to cut up smaller limbs after tree removal and keep the process streamlined. Good old-fashioned rakes and gas blowers are also commonly used during tree removal cleanup; they are especially effective at getting rid of smaller debris and the carpet of wood dust that accumulates following tree removal.
