After spending money on tree removal, the last thing you want to do is deal with the tree again. Left-behind stumps have a high rate of resprouting and regrowth. This regrowth will necessitate yet another attempt to cut down the trees.

Using a stump grinder prevents this from happening. In order to prevent regrowth, both the stump and its underlying roots must be destroyed and removed. Because of this, having the stump ground at the time of tree removal can be a cost-effective choice. It fixes the problem the first time so nothing grows back.

Trimming and pruning landscape trees in the middle to late summer should be avoided unless it is very light, as this can cause an off-season growth spurt that leaves some species, like the fiscus, susceptible to freeze damage. Pruning deciduous trees during hot weather is not only detrimental to eucalyptus and pines, but can also cause dormancy to be delayed or shortened.
