FAQs
What is the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?
While the terms are often used interchangeably, tree trimming auckland properties usually focuses on the exterior aesthetics, shape, and boundary clearance of a tree or hedge.
Tree pruning, on the other hand, is a more targeted arboricultural practice. It involves selectively removing specific branches to improve a tree's health, structure, safety, and long-term growth. Pruning can help reduce hazards, remove dead or diseased wood, and encourage healthy development.
Why should I invest in stump grinding instead of leaving the stump?
Leaving a stump behind after a tree removal can cause several ongoing issues. Stumps can become a hazardous tripping point, trigger unwanted new shoot growthi. Professional stump grinding clears the wood completely down into the roots, allowing you to use the ground for new garden features, grass, or structures.
Do you sell or deliver the woodchips from your tree cutting services?
Yes, absolutely! As part of our commitment to sustainability, we process the organic green waste from our tree cutting auckland jobs into high-quality mulch. Through our mulch supply service, we can either leave the mulch behind for your own gardens at a discounted rate, or deliver bulk loads directly to your property to help suppress weeds and retain soil moisture.
When stump grinding is done who is responsible for the underground services?
The customer is responsible for informing our team of all underground services and drainage, but we still take care to locate these and avoid possible damage. If we have concerns we will not proceed without the customer confirming the location of the services, however we can shallow grind if services are apparent. In most cases, the services are well below the depth to which we grind.
