Trees require pruning to preserve their health, appearance and to prevent damage to human life and property.  Dead, diseased and broken branches are pruned to prevent pathogenic organisms from penetrating adjacent parts of the tree. Pruning is an effective control measure for black knot, fire blight, several twig blights, some cankers and dwarf mistletoe. 

     Stump grinding removes stumps below grade level with out disturbing adjacent features. Our smaller, self propelled machine can be walked through the 3' gate of your back yard and is ideal for soft or steep lawns. The large machine in our fleet is a tow-behind, used to pulverize the biggest and toughest of hardwood stumps. Another application of stump grinders is surface root pruning which can prevent roots from uplifting driveways, sidewalks and foundations.
