Completely Removing Your Tree, Stump, and Roots
Certified arborists can completely take out your tree as well as the roots. This is one of the most common jobs we do for our customers. The process involves these steps:
We Evaluate the Tree and Surrounding Area
Arborists know that different species of trees have different root structures. We study the tree to determine which tools and equipment we need to remove it. If you have nearby buildings, power lines, or other healthy trees, we’ll figure out how to take down the tree without causing damage.
Trimming the Branches Away
The next step in determining how to remove a tree with roots involves taking down the primary branches. We use safety equipment to prevent the branches from causing damage as they fall.
Taking Out the Main Trunk
Depending on the tree, the team might use directional felling to drop the main trunk safely. If the tree died and its roots are weak, the crew may be able to pull the trunk and roots out together instead of cutting it.
Removing the Roots From the Ground
The next step will involve stump grinding. This equipment digs out the shallow roots. The team can then remove the remainder of the roots and complete the final debris cleanup in the area.
If the roots lie close to your sewer line or foundation, we might use chemical root removal techniques.
Removing a Tree With Roots for Replanting
Some people ask our expert arborists to figure out how to remove a tree with roots for replanting. This involves keeping the tree and roots intact when removing it.
The best option begins with digging a wide trench around the base of the tree, attempting to preserve the main root ball. With the roots loosened from the soil, we can then use a crane to gently lift it out of the ground. The team will carefully transport it to the new location for replanting.
We cannot replant all trees. Some species do not survive the shock of replanting or become too large or too old to transport safely.
Our arborists can inspect your tree and the location for replanting, advising you on your options and the costs involved.
