Stumped On What to Do with That Old Tree Stump?

After a tree removal a property owner is left with the pesky tree stump. Tree stumps are not only displeasing to look at while they decay but they also provide problems when mowing the grass or even worse: critter infestations. Insects such as carpenter ants, beetles and termites love decaying tree stumps. Certain types of fungi also thrive on rotting wood which can be harmful to the surrounding plants or humans. Stump grinding is an effective solution for property owners who want to enhance the appearance and function of their landscape. After a stump has been ground up, the leftover wood chips make a nice mulch that can be used elsewhere in your garden.

Benefits of Tree Trimming

November 1, 2019
There are many benefits of growing trees on your property, however when they are not properly maintained, numerous problems can occur. The most important reason everyone can appreciate a well-trimmed tree is an accident free environment. Loose branches can cause major damage especially when the wind picks up. These accidents are dangerous and can cost property owners thousands. Don't let your home, car, or nearby electrical wires fall victim to tree accidents that are easily preventable with a simple trim. Decaying tree limbs are not only unpleasing to look at, but also create homes for unwanted pests and critters. They will spread to other parts of your property and cause damage to different types of wood, other plants, and may pose health risks to the residents. Tree trimming is a proactive way to tackle these problems. Lastly, tree trimming is good for the overall longevity of a tree’s health. Cutting back at certain times of the year can result in beautiful bursts of new growth in the future. It can also strengthen the roots especially if your tree has been recently planted. Hill’s Tree Service can trim your trees at the right time so you can enjoy all the benefits. To learn more, reach out to a member of our team today!
