Tree Removal Tips

The time has come to remove the tree that has shaded family get togethers,supported the children’s swing, and provided privacy to the upstairs rooms. Fond memories often make tree removal a difficult decision, even if the tree has outgrown the area, is declining, or has become hazardous. A knowledgeable Tree Care Professional can help to determine whether or not your tree really does need to be removed, and what removal options are available.
Homeowners have numerous questions. For example:
  • “Can the tree be removed without destroying my yard and landscape?”
  • “Will the tree be felled in one piece?”
  • "What happens to all of the wood?”
  • “What can be done about the stump?”
  • “Can grass be grown or can a new tree be installed to replace the removal?” 
I'd like to take a few minutes to address the most common questions.

Q: Can the tree be removed without destroying my yard and landscape?
A: YES, although tree removal in most urban and suburban landscapes presents a challenge, an experineced Tree Service company with properly trained crews, will take the necessary precaustions to prevent damage to your property. Trees in neighborhoods like yours are often surrounded by other valuable plantings or structures like Fences, Out buildings, Pools and Homes. Tree removals often require careful dismantling by highly trained personnel utilizing state-of-the-art machinery to ensure safety and the protection of your home. The use of specialized equipment during tree removals is determined by the conditions on your landscape, branch architecture, and the soundness of your tree. A standard tree removal includes taking down a tree, chipping all brush, removing all wood, and cutting the stumps as flush as possible to the ground.

Q: Will the tree be felled in one piece?
A: Not necessarily; Basically, trees can be removed in three ways:  Felled in one piece, Removed piece by piece by a tree climber or aerial lift operator, or Removed using a truck mounted crane.The tree removal method that you select should be the one that is the safest, most efficient, and has the least negative impact on your property. Small and medium sized trees can sometimes be felled in one piece, but often require removal by a tree climber or an aerial lift operator using lowering lines to minimize landscape damage. Large and Dangerous trees are best removed by a crane to protect your property. Large sections of the tree can then be safely and efficiently lowered to the ground and disposed of by the ground crew.

Q: What happens to all the firewood?
A: Generally speaking removal of ALL wood and debris is included in the cost of the Removal and many Tree Service Companies operate Firewood businesses as well. However, if you, a family member or friend have use for the Firewood it can be arranged to have the wood cut to firewood length and stacked on the job site.

Q: What can be done about the stump?
A: Next, a decision needs to be made regarding the stump. If left, it will usually be unsightly and take years to rot and decay. There are two convention methods for the Removal of Stumps and Roots, Stump Grinding and Stump Removal. The BEST method to have your stump removed depnds on what you plan on doing with the area after the tree is gone. Stumps removed wth a stump ginder allow you to turn the area into lawn or to plant a new tree. Regardless of whether grass or a tree is to be planted, it is crucial that the entire stump be ground out and the stump grindings hauled away. Any planting must be done in quality topsoil.

Q: Can grass be grown or can a new tree be installed to replace the removal?
A: YES, although the type of tree and method of removal will effect how quickly you can plant and expect the best results.

Tree Removal Alternatives


Tree removal can be avoided in some cases, particularly when a safe and reasonable alternative is available that will allow you to keep your beloved tree. Proactive tree service and maintenance is the best way to ensure the longevity of your trees and shrubs. Cabling and bracing create artificial support to structurally weak or injured trees and branches. These supports help to prevent injuries to your trees, such as crotch and branch failure, and help to provide protection against storm damage. This practice may extend the life and well-being of feature trees.
