Shrub Removal vs Tree Removal

Shrubs and trees both play important roles in the ecosystem and landscaping of our homes and the surrounding area. Shrubs and trees may become unwanted when they are overgrown or acquire poor health conditions. Trees can become potentially hazardous when they die and lose the strength that they once had as well. When it comes time for them to go, due to these unforeseen circumstances, the tree and shrub removal can be difficult without the help of a professional. A variety of professional tools, equipment and specific techniques are to be used going into the removal process.

Shrub Removal

The shrub removal process begins with measuring about 20 inches up the shrub from the soil. From there, the tree specialist will cut off branches that are directly growing on the base of the trunk of the shrub. The proper tools should be used, such as sharp pruning shears or a chainsaw, in order to have the most effective result. Next, the roots should be dug out of the surrounding soil and then cut out of the stump. Once this is complete, the roots can be removed and the stump will be pried out and can be disposed of in the waste. For the last step in the shrub removal process, the soil that was taken out will be replaced to refill the hole.

Reasons for Shrub Removal

Shrub removal can be necessary for many reasons, including dead shrubs, diseased shrubs, damaged shrubs, re-landscaping, etc. Diseased shrubs can be deadly to other plants and greenery in your landscaping if it spreads. These diseased shrubs should be removed before any further disease is spread to healthy plants nearby. Damaged shrubs can have a hard time growing and thriving properly and should be removed as well. When re landscaping, some shrubs can become unwanted in your yard. Allow professional help from certified arborists to easily take care of the shrub removal process for you.

Tree Removal

The tree removal process can be handled safely and professionally by certified tree specialists. A tree is removed from the top to the bottom, starting with the branches and moving down to the stump. The branches are first removed and lowered down to the ground safely. The trunk is then cut and reduced down to a stump, and from there the stump is grinded down using professional equipment. Each tree is different and requires specific personalized care when being removed, so contact a professional tree specialist for help.

Reasons for Tree Removal

Many factors are an influence on the health and life cycle or trees. With the combination of wind, pollution, soil erosion, insects and disease, trees undergo a lot of stress and eventually grow weak and die. The tree removal process is used to get rid of trees that are dead, decaying or structurally inconvenient that can pose a risk. Dead trees are not as strong and stable as healthy ones, and dead trees can fall causing damage if not taken care of properly. It is best to be proactive in this situation and remove them before this can happen.
