Sometimes,
repairing a tree is not an option. Fortunately homeowners can
see a dangerous tree in time to arrange planned removal.
Other times, a storm can leave a removal job
that needs to be done skillfully in order to prevent further
damage.
Tommy's Tree Service Experts have vast experience
assisting homeowners in the removal of trees. Trained crews
use state-of-the-art equipment to remove the tree(s) with
as little impact on the rest of the landscape as is humanly
possible.
As
part of the process of tree removal, some people also want
the resulting stump to be ground down below ground level.
This can be done with specially designed equipment.
Removal is recommended
when:
The tree is dead or dying
The tree is considered irreparably hazardous
The tree is causing an obstruction
that is impossible to correct through pruning
The tree is crowding or causing harm to other trees
The tree is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen
The tree should be removed to allow for new construction

- Tree Pruning
Done right and done regularly, pruning will help your trees
last for generations - help them resist damage from storms,
disease, pests, drought, and cold.
But
pruning requires know-how. Every cut in a live tree is a wound,
opening that tree to the possibility of infection. That's
why pruning needs to be done correctly, with knowledge of
a particular tree's structure and growing habits. By taking
advantage of a tree's own protective mechanisms, proper pruning
helps a tree grow stronger.
Trees
are pruned for beauty, strength and health. Pruning ensures
better air circulation and light penetration, safety and clearance
for structures or people. Pruning a young tree encourages
it toward the shape it will have later - columnar, pyramidal,
spreading, or weeping. Knowing a tree's natural inclination
will determine what kind of pruning it needs in its early
years.
Mature
trees need pruning too, even if they've been well cared for
earlier on. The years, with their attendant storms, droughts,
and insects will take their toll. Sometimes large branches
will need to be removed, or the crown thinned to lighten the
weight on the top of a tree. If so, the pruning needs to be
performed as carefully as possible to avoid further damage
to the tree, not to mention buildings and landscaping nearby.
At times,
in addition to regular pruning, an older tree will need to
be braced or cabled for added support. Such trees may be structurally
weak, heavily burdened with fruit or foliage, or distressed
from storm damage.
Pruning
takes time and skill, but remember, your trees are among your
most valuable assets.
Stump Griding
There are several methods.
You could hack away at it for hours. But that's sweaty, hard, dangerous work.
You could try the chemical approach using products that are supposed to "burn" or "rot" the stump out. The only problem is the chemicals don't work.
You could wait for the stump to rot naturally. But you'd be stuck mowing and weed eating around that unsightly lump in your yard for years. Or
We could remove the stump the easy and fast way. Simply pick up the phone or send an Fax to 281-987-3013.
We will grind the stump out leaving a smooth clean area that can be replanted or resodded immediately. And did you know stumps that have been ground out are less likely to resprout than stumps removed by less efficient methods? We can grind out old stumps or grind the stump left after we remove your tree.
We can even grind out stumps that are right against a building's foundation.
Call us today to find out how stump grinding will improve the look of your landscape.
