Tree loppers are often untrained and not educated in correct pruning techniques. They are therefore unable to make informed decisions or give educated advice about your trees. Tree lopping is often sold as a “quick fix” for tree prob-lems but those so called “quick fixes” invariably create more problems than they fix. Tree that are lopped are ex-tremely likely to develop structural faults and become a hazard. Tree loppers are not qualified trained Arborists.

In Australia, building regulations require underground pipes and service lines to be installed at a depth lower than what our stump grinding machines operate at. As long as no unlicensed contractor has installed services closer to the surface than regulations require, stump grinding will not reach your services.

Grindings are deliberately left on site. The pile of soft fluffy root material is required to be heaped up as the grindings will sink down into the hole where the trunk and roots once were. Over a period of time the heap of grindings will flatten out. If grindings are removed you will be left with a hazardous indent/hole. However on occasion, for an additional fee, grindings may be removed from the site.
