Sometimes, removing trees is unfortunately unavoidable due to building projects, disease or the end of the tree’s life cycle.
When a tree needs to be removed, various techniques will be employed by the tree surgeon (arborist) to limited disruption and ensure safety.
If the tree can be felled from the ground and there is enough room to not damage any close by property or structures, then this is the safest method. Alternatively the tree surgeon can access the tree using a MEWP (mobile elevated work platform), or climb the tree using ropes and a harness. The tree surgeon will then dismantle the tree from the canopy in small sections that can, if needed, be lowered to the ground on rigging lines. The tree will then be either chipped and removed from the site or cut into logs for firewood at the customer’s discretion.
The process of cutting a tree down can range greatly in time and cost depending on many factors. The location of the tree, the size of the tree and the condition of the tree are just a few of the factors affecting the time required to remove a tree.
When a tree has been successfully dismantled or felled and removed, the next step is to grind the remaining stump and major root structure to completely remove it, and leave behind a flat area at ground level.
Stump grinders are a good option for this (like the one pictured above). They range in size and can access areas that other machines may not be able to. Stump grinders work by quickly breaking the stump into chips that can be taken away by your tree surgeon or left as mulch in-situ. Stump grinding ranges in cost depending on the size of the stump and its location, and the ease of access.
