How often should I have my trees trimmed?

Regular trimming helps maintain healthy growth, improves appearance, and prevents branches from becoming hazards during storms.

Grinding the stump prevents future regrowth, eliminates tripping hazards, and stops pests like termites or ants from nesting in the remaining wood. It also leaves your yard ready for replanting or new landscaping. Contact us to get started with a tree service!How deep do you grind stumps?
Typically, we grind stumps 6-12 inches below ground level, depending on the tree species and the homeowner's plans for the area. This ensures the stump won't regrow and allows for grass or planting to cover the spot naturally.
