Tree Removal And Stump Grinding
Tree removal is the process of changing a trees orientation (typically standing or vertical) to horizontal (or separated from its stump). What happens to its various parts after that needs to be specifically detailed. The options are seemingly limitless.For instance, a typical scenario might be written something like: Monterey Pine, large, in back yard :Take down as close to 30” tall stump at flat and level as practical. Chip brush ≤12” diameter, dump chips in large area on west side of pumphouse. Use gate on south side of house for access. Cover sensitive landscape with plywood tents. Cover KoI pond with tarps. Maintain minimum approach distances from high voltage lines on back side of tree. Cut wood >12” diameter into 16” rounds and stack on east side of garage. Leave premises clean. $_. Or, haul wood to Aunt Suzie’s and dump on driveway. Chips go to Uncle Bob’s in lower pasture. You get the picture. The devil’s in the details. We want to make sure we get all of your expectations properly recorded so that they are done to your overwhelming delight and satisfaction.

Stump Removal
Typically Sandborn Tree Service, Inc. removes stumps one of two ways either by grinding or excavation:
Stump grinding :
Stump grinding is a process by which a stump (the part of the tree where the trunk and roots merge) is mechanically pulverized to a specified depth and area. We need to specify depth in order to accommodate the needs of the client and not do more or less work than necessary. We need to specify the area to be ground as that typically involves root grinding. Roots can be quite extensive and if they are to be ground, the limits of depth and area need to be specifically defined in order to avoid confusion, disagreement or disappointment on the job.
Excavation :
Excavation involves use of an excavator, backhoe, other mechanical device or hand labor to dig a stump out of the ground. The unearthed stump usually needs to be ground on site to facilitate its disposal as stumps are typically expensive to dispose of. Stump grindings (ground up stump matter usually referred to as stump mulch) makes an excellent mulch (to recycle nutrients on site) for trees and shrubs. It is usually kept onsite, spread over the area where the tree was or it is moved to a more appropriate area. Because it is mixed with soil, recycling facilities are not equipped to handle it, so if it is not wanted on site, disposal can be expensive.
