Yes. Routine pruning improves the health of trees, restores their shape, and prolongs their life. The removal of weakened, dead, diseased, or insect-infested branches that might snap during heavy winds or ice storms is beneficial in preventing storm damage. 

Pruning reduces the chance of breaking limbs by decreasing a tree’s wind resistance, enabling it to move with the wind. Pruning large shade trees by homeowners should be limited to branches that can be easily reached from the ground. Large tree pruning is a job that should be left to a trained and experienced arborist in Bloomsburg, PA because it can require climbing and the use of dangerous equipment. This equipment includes heavy saws, chain saws, and cherry pickers. 

Personal safety should never be compromised when pruning a tree. Using improper pruning techniques can expose a tree to disease and can leave it in poor health or even dead. Flush-cutting a tree limb or leaving stubs may lead to decay and slow healing of pruning wounds.

Yes, we do. Stump grinding or stump removal is a technique performed by an arborist in Bloomsburg, PA with a specialized machine. The professional remove the tree stump, as well as the roots, 8-20 inches below grade. This procedure is typically performed on the same day as tree removal.  

Here are some reasons why stump grinding should be done:  

• Stump grinding or stump removal will help prevent sinkholes
• Manual removal of a large tree stump is costly, extremely dangerous, and time-consuming
• It creates natural mulch for your landscape use
• Stump grinding removes the stump below grade level
• The cutting teeth of the grinder are designed to cut and pulverize wood and soil into a wood chip and soil mixture
