Stump Removal

WHAT IS STUMP REMOVAL?

When providing a proposal for a tree removal, an arborists also evaluate the site for stump REMOVAL. While having the stump ground is not always necessary, many people prefer to deal with the stump at the same time as having the tree removed. Stump removal allows the property owner to use the area where the tree once stood for laying sod or planting a flower bed. The stump grinder also produces mulch that has many uses around the yard. Here are answers to some common questions we get about stump removal.

HOW DEEP CAN THE STUMP GRINDER GO?

They generally grind four to six inches below grade (ground level). If deeper removal is needed, it can be requested, although the price of stump removal may increase. The depth to which a stump can be ground is subject to some limitations, however. The stump-removal blade has a diameter of about 10 inches, and can only be maneuvered up and down within a specific range.

A tree that grew in shallow soil, such as over the limestone bedrock prevalent in the Dallas area, may not have six inches of grindable depth.

Other material near or around the tree may limit how deep the grinder can go. While the stump grinder is powerful, it is only designed to handle plant material, wood, and dirt. Take note of:

Fencing, concrete, brick, or rock around a stump (such as a tree ring)

Nearby trees that may have roots under the tree stump

Swimming pools, walkways, and patios that may prevent the grinder from reaching all of the root material

Lawn irrigation, sprinkler systems, tree lighting wiring, and buried hoses

We generally do not grind deep enough to risk interfering with properly-installed utility lines or buried cables, but unforeseen obstacles can be encountered that necessitate a shallower grind.

What exactly lies beneath the roots of a tree or the surrounding soil may be a mystery, even to the homeowner. While we are very careful when removal a stump, we will not take responsible for damage to irrigation lines or other items located below ground that we are not aware of. It is important to inform your arborist of any sprinkler systems or other objects that might be in the area to be ground before the work begins.

WHAT IS LEFT AFTER A STUMP IS GROUND?

As the blade grinds the stump and surface roots, it produces a mulch made up of tree material and dirt. The mulch produced by stump removal can take up a much greater volume than the original stump. (It can be helpful to think of the difference between a block of cheese and that same cheese after it is grated.)

Mulch from stump removal is valuable organic material that decomposes more quickly than many other kinds of mulch, as there are generally smaller wood particles present, and more soil to help it break down. It is our standard practice to push the mulch back into the area that has been ground (“backfilling”). Even so, there is usually a large pile of mulch left above ground, often much more than the tree owner expected. Because of its composition, the mulch does settle fairly quickly, but many people prefer to use the mulch around their yards, rather than leaving it where the stump once was.

Stump grinder mulch can be used for composting or applied in flower beds. (Depending on exact composition of the mulch, it may not perform in the same way as typical hardwood mulch, and may need to be replaced sooner.) After some time, when the mulch has settled, it can be packed into the ground-out area, making the area ready to be prepped for laying sod or for planting a flower bed or other small plants. If requested, we can provide mulch bagging and/or bagged mulch haul-off as an additional service after stump removal, but our standard practice is to leave all grinder mulch on-site.

WILL THE TREE COME BACK AFTER A STUMP IS GROUND?

Even with stump removal, some species of tree can still send up shoots and new growth from the roots left below ground. Crape myrtles, chinaberry trees, hackberries, and Bradford pears are some common species in the area that can be very persistent in growing back. The sprouts that return after stump removal can be trimmed or mown down and will eventually stop coming back, as the remaining roots use up their energy reserves. Commercially-available woody stem killer can be used to accelerate the dieback of the roots. White vinegar can also be used as an organic alternative to commercial root killer.

CAN I REPLANT AFTER A STUMP IS GROUND?

We are often contacted about removing a tree that the owner would like to replace. We do not recommend trying to re-plant trees in the same area where a tree was removed and the stump ground. Even with a deep grind, an extensive root system remains underground. The old root system can interfere with the new tree’s attempts to become established. Furthermore, if the old tree had a disease, that disease may still be present in the remaining root tissue, and can be transmitted to the new tree. When replanting is desired, we can discuss finding a location that is far enough from the removed tree to lessen the likelihood of interference from the old root system. If homeowners’ association or municipal restrictions require a tree to be replaced in a certain location, excavation or hand digging may be the only options.

CAN EVERY STUMP BE GROUND?

In the case of a tree becoming uprooted (because of storm damage or root rot, for example), the stump cannot be dealt with as easily. If there is a large amount of root material above ground, the stump grinder may be physically unable to reach it. Depending on the type of tree and how it grew, it may pull up a great deal of dirt, turf grass, and other underground material when it falls. What is left after removal an uprooted stump may be more dirt than tree matter, and may not be suitable for use as mulch.

Weather is also a factor that can determine how and when stump removal can be performed. A long period of rain can cause the soil to become waterlogged. Operating a stump grinder in heavy, wet soil can not only make a bigger mess than usual, but can damage the surrounding area due to the weight of the machine. It may be necessary to wait until the area dries out before attempting even a “standard” stump grind.
If a customer has a special circumstance, like an uprooted tree, or there are multiple stumps in one area to be ground, we always send an arborist to assess the situation before providing a quote or scheduling the stump grinder.

HOW MUCH DOES STUMP REMOVAL COST?
The cost of stump removal is dependent upon three main factors: the size of the stump, the location of the stump, and how deep the grinder needs to go. While we generally provide a stump removal price when we give a quote for tree removal, we are also happy to evaluate any other stumps you may want to have ground.

HOW DO I MEASURE A STUMP?
The base cost for stump removal is determined by the diameter of the stump in inches, including any above-ground roots. This measurement can be taken before or after a tree is removed. To get the right measurement, it is important to go “from dirt to dirt.” This means measuring from the stump edge or root point (where it touches the dirt) farthest from the trunk to the opposite edge or root point. It is also important to measure from different directions and to take an average measurement, as this most accurately reflects the area to be ground. The “dirt-to-dirt” measurement can be quite a bit larger than the diameter of the tree trunk, and we do see situations where the stump removal is more costly than removing the above-ground tree.

This is a 75-inch stump, measured “dirt to dirt” at the yellow line. Measuring on the trunk is inaccurate: if this tree were measured at the red line, the result would only be 37 inches, which is not the actual area to be ground. Even after a tree is cut down, properly measuring a stump can be tricky when there is a root flare and surrounding vegetation.

CAN THE STUMP GRINDER REACH MY STUMP?

Our standard stump grinder is a machine that is seven feet long and three feet wide. At the front is a rounded blade (similar to the tip of a chainsaw) that chips away wood as it moves across the stump. The stump grinder is designed to fit through standard gates, but some older or narrow gates may not be able to accommodate it. The weight of the machine may also prevent it from reaching certain areas without damaging walkways or ground cover. While the removal blade has some maneuverability, clearance of at least seven feet on one side of the stump is required to allow the grinder to access the area to be ground. In smaller areas with less clearance, it is possible to use our smaller stump grinder, but this can increase the time and cost of the procedure.

CAN I JUST LEAVE THE STUMP?

It is not necessary to grind or otherwise remove a stump after a tree is taken down. We have customers who request a tree not be cut all the way to ground level, and use the remaining stump as a plant stand, table base, or just a yard feature. Even if the stump is cut close to the ground, it can last several years. Preservative coatings can also be applied to prolong the life of a standing stump.

Some homeowners prefer to let a stump decompose naturally over time. Old stumps can become habitats for fungi, insects, and other creatures. As the stump breaks down, it can become rich organic material that can be added to compost or used in planting. If a stump is left unground, however, it can continue to send out new growth for years after the tree has been removed. Drilling holes in the stump and filling with Epsom salt or using commercial stump killer can accelerate stump dieback, but those chemicals can be toxic to surrounding plant life. Treating the stump with chemicals can also make the area hazardous to people and pets.

Land Clearing

Land Clearing

Land Clearing

Lot clearing, including tree removal, is essential for site preparation. It is the first step in the construction of any commercial or residential property and land development project. It is essential to remove trees, shrubs, bushes, and other obstacles when clearing land for a house, cottage, or other structure.

Whenever people talk about land clearing, usually the things that spring to mind are negative thoughts brought on mostly by media hypes and environmentalist drives. People think about global warming, depletion of natural resources, and the casual extinction of indigenous fauna and flora. Yet people don’t seem to realize that there are actually quite a few benefits of land clearing.

One of the easiest benefits of land clearing to spot are the economic ones. Lumber products are one of the most staple constructive materials in human society. Whether it is raw lumber used for making tables and houses, or paper and other wood by-products, we simply cannot live without the use of lumber. Like steel and stone, wood is one of the most basic natural resources, and unlike steel and stone, it is renewable simply by growing more trees. The only real trick to balancing it is consumption is to grow more trees to replace the ones taken.

On a similarly related note, keep in mind that a lot of jobs revolve around the use of lumber. Wood cutters aside, there are those who work in processing plants to make glue from wood sap, process pulp into paper, and others. This is another benefit of land clearing; it opens more job opportunities for people who would otherwise be unemployed. These job opportunities are more than simply a humanitarian concept; society at large would suffer if all of the people working in the wood industry were to suddenly find themselves jobless.

This benefit of land clearing not only covers the people who cut down trees and process them, but also extends to the people who “clean up” after them. For every patch of forest cut down, arable land becomes available for farmers, or can be used as an area to place urban living sites like apartments, houses, and buildings. The number of people employed by such a construction project are many and varied. Or, if the city/government mandates replanting trees to replace the lost ones, then jobs are also provided for those people who do the seeding after a patch of forest is stripped.

Thinking about it, the cleared areas are places which provide a lot of potential for growth, and this is yet another benefit of land clearing. As stated above, arable land is valuable, and the act of land clearing to clear a place for farm land provides a much needed additional food source for man. More often than not, the soil in a forest is much richer than that of regular farm lands because of the wide variety of life it supports. This new land area grants a much needed place to grow a food supply to deal with the planet’s steadily expanding population of humanity.

Then, of course, there is the fact that these cleared areas may be razed for urban renewal. Given our burgeoning population growth, additional living areas made on cleared forest land is another benefit of land clearing. These places can be converted into more than just housing areas. Buildings which can house offices for work, or factories to produce clothing and other essential items, or even research facilities for things like new medical or technological advances can be placed in these deforested areas.

Lastly, another benefit of land clearing to consider is the access it provides to other natural resources that may lay within the forest’s land area. Some places with heavy forests are home to iron ore, mineral, and even oil deposits which can be used for man’s needs. These natural resources would otherwise lay dormant and untapped unless people access them. The act of land clearing may not be entirely necessary to get at these deposits sometimes, but coupled with the advantages given above, the combination of opening up a new mine or oil well when taken with extra living spaces or farm lands for food makes a lot of sense.

So, given all of the benefits of land clearing outlined above, you can see that more often than not, the good outweighs the bad. The planet’s environment may indeed suffer from the effects of land clearing, but that is due to irresponsible use of the resources and other benefits provided, not the land clearing itself. As people living on the planet, our duty is not to “hold back” and stop cutting trees. It is to use what we glean from the Earth responsibly and wisely for humanity and the planet’s benefit.

Advantages of Land Clearing

Listed below are a few reasons to clear land to help emphasize the importance of the process:

Enhances the Usability of Land

Typically, lot clearing services are required when a piece of land is deemed to be uninhabitable or useless. Tree removal and lot clearing help to make it accessible and usable for building houses, parks, parking lots, and more.

Safety Purposes

When a piece of land is filled with rotting wood and dead trees, it may pose all kinds of threats and hazards to the surrounding neighborhoods. By using lot clearing services, you can eliminate this danger.

Prevents Disease from Spreading

You may occasionally find that the vegetation on the land to be cleared is diseased. These diseases may spread to other nearby plants. Clearing the land can make it healthier.

Promotes Healthy Growth of Trees & Plants

An advantage of land clearing is it helps with the healthy growth of plants and trees. When a plot is crowded with vegetation, the likelihood of plants surviving on it decreases. Clearing land provides more room for them to grow and gives the plants better access to water, nutrients, and sunlight.

Improves Soil Health

When plants and trees are overgrown, it isn’t beneficial for the land as it promotes weeds and other undesirable plant growth, contributing to soil erosion. When you clear the land, it helps to redistribute the soil evenly, making it healthier.

Decreases Chances of Fire

When a plot has overgrown vegetation, the risk of fire increases. Land clearing can be used to remove dead plants, rotting tree stumps, and other such threats, preventing the spread of wildfire and protecting the structures on the plots nearby.

Reduces Pests

Dense areas with a lot of trees and plants provide natural shelter for pests, increasing their population. The structures around such pieces of land have a higher risk of pest infestation. To eliminate the chances of their nesting, clearing the plot is recommended.

Enhancing Aesthetics & Land Value

By using tree removal and lot clearing services, you can remove unwanted and dying plant life, adding to the beauty of the land itself. It can also help to increase the value of the plot.

We Are Here to Help with Land Clearing & Tree Removal

Land Clearing & Tree Removal Tree Services, we understand and respect the importance of providing timely and effective land clearing for any construction endeavors. We offer services such as lot clearing and tree removal in Utah. We have a dedicated team of professionals who have the expertise to handle land clearing projects of all sizes efficiently.

Crane-Assisted Tree Removal Cost

If the location of a large tree is in such an awkward position, a crane may be needed to lift it clearly rather than allowing it to fall to the ground and risk any damage to nearby properties. In this situation, you’ll need to know the crane-assisted tree removal cost.

This additional requirement can stretch the budget anywhere from $3,950 to $7,890, depending on the size of the tree, and the size of the crane that is expressed in tonnes.

Most jobs should be covered by a 50-100 tonne crane, but the need for a much longer boom arm may necessitate the use of an even larger crane to get to those hard-to-reach trees.

There is no doubt that the cheapest time of year for tree removal (cheap tree removal trick for half off) is in the winter months of February and March when bare branches reduce the work required by the arborist, and that will reflect in the saving to your bank balance.

Landscaping companies have also been known to provide this free service to elders for promotional purposes, and if there is any value in the tree itself they may well cut it down and take it away completely free of charge.

But why would they do that?

Because money grows on trees and they are giving free tree removal in exchange for wood. What happens is that they are exchanging their services for the wood value of your tree.

There are pine and palm trees that are highly valued by the forestry industry due to their species that can fetch a very decent price on the resale market.

If by reselling the tree the specialist will get a bigger profit even after all the work involved in removing the tree itself, it may well be worth their while to give this free service.

TruCo is a great company to work with for your commercial landscaping and snow removal needs! Rob is excellent to work with. He is very timely in providing quotes and has a lot of great feedback and suggestions to provide on what will look great, fit within your budget, and is knowledgeable on plants that will thrive with Utah's ever changing weather conditions. I have been impressed with TruCo's landscape maintenance as well as landscape projects which have had a quick turnaround time. I would highly recommend using TruCo!

I experienced excellent all around service from landscape improvement design, scheduling and professional installation completed within the timeline we discussed. Rob, the manager does an excellent job of communicating, overseeing the install crew and making sure his customers are 100% satisfied with the job. Highly recommend TruCo for all landscaping needs.

Michael the tree guy is so smart.  He knows all about tree removal, cutting and tree trimming services.  Truco did amazing work for me.  We had 16 very old and mature trees removed. The Truco team showed up on time ready to get the job done.  They did amazing with clean up truly respect your property and your life.  Communication was really good.  They needed to move some things to get the stump grinder to our yard they put things back with no issues.  Extremely professional and truly know what they're doing.  If anyone is looking for professional tree removal or tree service you really should call Jason or Michael at Truco.

We hired TruCo to do a new install of sprinklers, sod, spigot, and bury downspouts. We even have a wifi transmitter for our control box we can access from an app on our phones! We absolutely love the professionalism and quality of their work!! Our sales rep Pete was the best to work with, we highly recommend him to anyone in the market for landscaping. It was awesome seeing the finished results and we're incredibly excited to enjoy our new space!

TruCo installed all of our plants, trees and shrubs, drip lines, and boulders. Then they installed our amazing beautiful firepit. We loved the results and they guarantee all plants and trees up to a year. They were great and easy to work with. They listened to our needs and wants and met them 100%. Our HOA sent us a letter telling us they appreciate all the work and the way our yard looks and let us know we added value to the property. Win/Win
