There are many instances where business owners or homeowners may need to be proactive by removing an existing tree. Sometimes, as trees get older, their root systems become more shallow and it is difficult for the tree structure to support the top weight of the tree.
In these instances, the tree may be at risk of toppling over during severe weather events or even from just a slight breeze. To avoid this, homeowners may opt to have the tree removed before any real damage is done.
Removing Any Evidence of a Planted Tree
Whether a business owner or homeowner opts to have the tree removed before it falls over, the work of actually removing the tree doesn’t mean the job is done. In many instances, customers of a tree service may also want to remove any indication that a tree was ever there. In order to achieve this, the services that tree removal companies can offer their customers is Tree Stump Grinding.
How Stump Grinding Works
In this process, a small piece of heavy machinery that looks like a riding chainsaw contraption is positioned over where the tree stump remains. The operator lowers the chain blade over top of the stumps.
As the chain blade rotates, the blade itself is swung in a controlled fashion back and forth over the tree stump. The chain begins to chew up the tree stump until it is ground down below the grass line or until it is ground down to the roots of the tree.
After the Stump has Been Removed
Once this is done, the area where the stump exists can be covered with soil and can be sodded over. A less costly approach may be to place mulch over the area or spread fertilizer seed into the soil that has been placed where the tree stump once was.
Typically, Tree Stump Grinding is an additional service. However, if you wish to plant a tree in that same location at some point or you have other landscaping purposes for an area where a tree was removed, stump grinding provided by Business Name can remove any semblance of a removed tree.
