When people drive up to a yard they quickly notice the condition of the house and how well the yard is maintained. Large trees dominate any landscape. If they are well-shaped and healthy they definitely add to any home’s curb appeal. However, if they have dead limbs and badly shaped branches, they can make any home look like a haunted house waiting for Halloween. When this happens it’s time for the homeowners to call a tree removal company in Austin.
The arborist from the tree company will come out and inspect the large trees. Homeowners might be surprised to find that the core of the tree is healthy and just a few limbs need to be removed. Sometimes it’s not the tree itself, but its location that is the problem. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to move large specimen trees and they have to be cut down. Even a healthy large tree can pose a danger to a house or garage. It’s best to deal with this in a planned procedure, than in an emergency when a lightning strike knocked the tree into the house.
Some homeowners try and save money by telling the Tree Removal Austin company to only cut down the tree. The homeowner will take the responsibility of removing the wood and grinding down the stump. If the homeowners have a fireplace and the wood is suitable for burning, this may be a good solution. Another option is to place an ad on Craigs List offering the wood for free, if the person will cart it away. Every region has wood carvers and crafters who can use free materials.
Grinding the stump down means renting equipment and learning how to use it. The homeowners will have to drive to the hardware store, select the grinder, transport it home and set it up. Then the hard work of stump grinding begins. If they give up, the stump may just sit there. It might also attract termites. Since it was taken down because it was near the home, these termites might spread out and move into the house as well. Often having professionals complete a job, saves money in the long run.
