Read on to find out more about the tree services we offer and what to expect from each of the processes.
Tree Trimming & Tree Pruning
Tree trimming and tree pruning services generally include, but are not limited to, the following possibilities:
- Clearing overhead branches for walking, vehicles, and buildings.
- Removing dead and diseased branches.
- Preventative pruning to reduce chances of failing
- Restorative pruning
- Tree Crown Thinning for better air circulation and light transfer
- Fruit tree pruning
Proper tree pruning takes specialized knowledge and care for each of the arboreous number of existent tree species to give the greatest chances of survival and growth. Make sure you find a learned professional who knows not only the nuances behind pruning and hard pruning, but also which options are the best for each individual tree.
Tree Removal
After a tree has been cut down, what remains is the stump. We labor to maximize the efficiency of removing stumps resulting in minimal impact to surrounding greenery and vegetation. There are a couple common ways to remove stumps which include grinding the stump away or excavating a majority of the stump roots. Both are intensive, however the latter requires more tools and results in a clear space for the surrounding landscape to be newly planted and made new again.
Grinding Tree Stumps
Grinding a tree stump is a quicker, and some say more efficient, method than removing a tree stump’s roots. After a tree has been cut down what remains is a small, flat trunk of wood protruding just above the ground. You’ll often see these around natural parks and public recreational areas where a tree removal service was required and they opted not to grind the stump or remove the tree roots.
A tree stump grinding service will end up removing most visible traces of a tree stump. In addition, it is important to note that the any roots will remain behind and can stick around for many years before decaying naturally. This does result in some settling of surrounding soil in the ground and heavy traffic over the years will reveal areas which dip down into the decaying roots.
Land Clearing
If you’re planning an addition structure, construction site, or a scenic walking garden, land clearing is one of the very first things that are required. Generally before any progress to the area can be made, a service must be hired out to to clear and grade the land. Here is a short list of typical land clearing tasks:
- Land surveying (if required)
- Clearing brush and vegetation
- Removing large rocks
- Tree removal
Once the land is cleared, it is ready to be graded. Grading tasks can vary widely depending on the scope of the project. Installation of wells or septic systems, erosion control, land drainage, demolishing current buildings, and many more types of tasks are often seen in the process of land clearing.
