Tree Trimming and Tree Removal in Medina, Texas
To keep the trees on your commercial or residential property healthy and looking great, it is vital to have them routinely inspected and trimmed by a professional
tree trimming
company. The
two main ways to properly care for trees are by trimming and pruning. These two terms are often interchanged; although they are similar, they are done for different reasons. To dispel some myths about
tree pruning
and trimming, we have listed below the critical differences between these two tree maintenance practices:
Tree Pruning
Tree Trimming
- Promotes healthy growth
- Tools used are saws and trimmers
- Trimming is generally done twice a year
To the untrained eye, a tree can look perfectly healthy while dying on the inside, making it a danger to property and potentially harmful to individuals. At Kerrville Tree Service Pros, we have experts who will evaluate the trees on your property to see if they need to be removed. Listed below are some of the signs that a tree is compromised and needs to be removed:
- Tree Health
- The overall health of the tree will be determined. If 50% or more of the tree is damaged, it must be removed.
- Trunk Damage
- The health of the trunk will be evaluated for seams, vertical cracks, and wounds that may indicate internal decay. If there is damage to over 25% of the trunk's circumference, it is unlikely the tree will survive, and it will be necessary to remove it.
- Is the Tree Hollow
- A hollow tree is a danger because the strength of the tree is compromised, making it susceptible to toppling and presenting a danger to property and potential injury to individuals. Hollow trees should be removed for safety.
- Dead Branches
- Dead branches and dead branches, all located on one side of the tree, indicate there is possible root or trunk damage. The branches are dying because they are not receiving the proper water and nutrients, making the tree unstable and should be removed.
Land Clearing and Stump Removal in Medina, Texas
At Kerrville Tree Service Pros, our family-owned business specializes in land clearing and stump removal. Land clearing removes all the trees, vegetation, rocks, and structures on land. This process ensures the property is ready for new construction, and nothing is left that will interfere with the construction project. While many of our commercial clients have plans for the land they are clearing, frequently, we find that once we have cleared the land, there is a better view of the land, and it makes it easier to visualize the construction and make adjustments to the plans where necessary. Land clearing isn't limited to construction projects; it is also essential for agriculture. When land is overgrown with weeds, dying trees, or invasive vegetation, it robs the soil of essential nutrients. When the land is cleared and unnecessary vegetation is removed, the soil can replenish nutrients, allowing it to grow healthy and strong.
In addition to land clearing, Kerrville Tree Service Pros specialize in tree stump removal and grinding. Stumps left on commercial or residential properties present many hazards and should be removed.
Stump removal refers to pulling the stump from the ground using heavy equipment. When a stump is removed, it is completely removed, roots included. Stump removal is more expensive, time-consuming, and can leave the land with deep holes that need to be filled in.
Stump grinding refers to grinding a stump until it reaches its desired height. The height will depend on the client's preference and the purpose of the land. When a stump is ground, the roots remain. Stump grinding is cheaper, easier, and does not affect the land as much as stump removal.
Stump grinding and stump removal have their pros and cons, and the main difference between the processes is whether or not you want the roots of the stump removed.
