When planning a tree project, removing the tree is often just one part of the job. Depending on your goals, you may also need stump grinding, brush chipping, or land clearing to prepare the area for what’s next.
Here’s a closer look at how these services work together and what to expect from a professional tree service.
Services that work together
Depending on your project, several tree care services may work together to achieve your goals:
- Tree Removal: Removing unwanted or hazardous trees from your property.
- Stump Grinding: Grinding stumps below ground level so the area can be planted, seeded or mulched.
- Brush Chipping: Turning limbs and branches into wood chips for efficient removal.
- Land Clearing: Removing trees and brush to open up space for a garden, a shed or other outdoor projects.
Combining the services you need can help streamline your project and reduce the need to coordinate separate visits.
Before any cutting: Planning the job around your property
Before work begins, the crew considers the tree’s location, surrounding structures, access points, and the equipment needed to complete the job safely and efficiently.
For trees near a house, garage, or other structures, crane-assisted removal may allow sections of the tree to be lifted out rather than lowered or dropped into the surrounding area. The approach depends on the tree, the site, and the conditions on the property.
Careful planning helps the crew determine the best approach for the job while considering the surrounding landscape.
What happens to the brush and wood?
As branches are removed, brush is fed through a chipper to reduce it to wood chips. Our crew hauls away the wood chips, logs, and other debris generated by the job, keeping the work moving efficiently from start to finish.
After the tree is down: The stump
After a tree is removed, stump grinding is an option for homeowners who want to reclaim the space. A stump grinder reduces the stump below ground level, leaving wood chips and soil behind.
From there, you can decide how to use the area. Depending on your plans, you may choose to add topsoil and seed the area, create a new planting bed, or incorporate it into the surrounding landscape.
Final cleanup: The ground
Cleanup is an important part of professional tree work. Our crew takes pride in leaving the work area neat and orderly, paying attention to the details that make a difference in the overall appearance of your property. Depending on the project, some additional landscaping may be needed to finish the area.
Finishing your landscape
Once tree work is complete, you may want to refresh a nearby garden bed, add new plantings, or update the surrounding landscape.
Mulch N’ More, our sister business, offers mulch, landscape stone, and other materials to help bring those projects together. It’s a convenient resource when you’re ready to put the finishing touches on your property.
