Of the three stump grinding is the method that requires the most specialized tools. To grind a stump a large machine called a stump grinder which is kind or like a high power lawn mower, with a rotating disk underneath it that chips away at the stump until it's turned into chips completed. Stump grinding leaves a pile of wood chips in a hole where the stump was. Stump grinding is a convenient way to remove a stump and get wood chips for composting and landscaping. It does leave behind the roots of the stump behind which either have to be dug up or left to slowly decompose over years.

Stump Removal

There are a lot of reasons to remove a stump. For one their easy to trip over. For another is that stumps are ugly especially when you have to garden or landscape around them. Another is that stumps decompose very slowly, in fact they can take years to decompose. If left alone and in that process they attract bugs, like beetles, termites and ants,  mice, and squirrels. These creatures use the stump a launching pad to spread out to health trees and shrubs in your yard. Depending on the kind of insects and vermin the stump attracts it could lead to lots of damage. Stumps also attract mold and fungus that can be either benign or dangerous. 

Tree Cabling & Bracing

Sometimes tree need more support than what they can muster on their own. The two most common forms of structural support for trees are cabling and bracing. The way it works is cables are attached high on the tree between where it is weak and the crown, rods are installed above or below the brace, or cables attached to the brace are anchored in ground around the tree. Bracing and cabling are a great way to save a tree that otherwise would die or be in danger of dying. It's also good for younger trees that need support until they are strong enough to hold themselves up. 

Bush & Shrub Removal

Shrubs and bushes are small to medium sized woody plants that have multiple stems, they are generally less than 30 feet high.  Sometimes part of a shrub or bush has to be removed because of poor health, in order to newly landscape an area, or because they have become overgrown. Shrubs are good for holding soil in place and preventing erosion but they can become overgrown if not kept in check.  Sometime pruning just isn't enough especially when shrubs are close together, removing a few increases the health of them all.
