What Dose the Removal Process Involve?

When it comes to tree removal, there’s a safe way to do so that won’t put you, your home or your family at risk. At Merritt’s, we take every precaution to ensure the health of everyone involved, from your home to our employees and equipment. The process for removing trees includes the following steps.

  • We begin with a consultation where our certified arborists inspect the trees on your property for safety concerns, tree health, and aesthetics to decide which trees must be removed.
  • Next, we start at the top to remove any large or hazardous limbs, first, to ensure nothing falls on your house or other parts of your property.
  • Then, we begin taking down the trunk based on the height of the tree, and how much space you have in your yard.
  • Once the tree is down, we grind the stump down to be even with the ground or completely remove the stump.

Call Us for Stump Grinding or Complete Stump Removal

While we do provide expert tree service, what do you do with the stump when a tree is taken down? Some may keep the stumps, as is, for aesthetically pleasing purposes. However, Merritt’s also provide stump grinding and complete stump removal to fulfill all of your needs. Depending on your desires and the characteristics of your yard, we’ll recommend the easiest and most effective route for dealing with your stumps.

Stump Removal Service

At Merritt’s, we can provide complete stump removal service when possible. Some trees can’t just be cut down; they must be completely dug up to remove the root system from the ground. This ensures that nothing will regrow in that spot and help you plant something else in that spot like grass seed, flowers, etc. However, sometimes the tree is so large that we cannot dig up. In that case, we have another option.
