To do this, it is strongly recommended to call on a team of professionals who will be able to carry out the operation safely, quickly and without damaging the surrounding structures.<\/p>\n<h2>What is tree trunk removal?<\/h2>\n<p>Grubbing a tree consists of destroying the stumps in the remaining trunk and the roots of the tree after felling. This operation allows, among other things, to avoid a later regrowth or the extension of roots on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to dethatch a tree trunk:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The mechanical method which consists in using specific equipment to extract, crush, cut or burn the stumps.<\/li>\n<li>The chemical method which consists in using chemical products to devitalize the stumps and accelerate their decomposition. This process is generally not recommended as it can contaminate the soil and cause disastrous environmental damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>When is it necessary to grub a tree trunk?<\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons why it is essential to grub a tree trunk to prevent regrowth or root enlargement.<\/p>\n<h3>For security reasons<\/h3>\n<p>Roots, when they spread, can reach, damage and weaken the foundations of surrounding infrastructure. A tree trunk that protrudes from the ground can also obstruct the traffic of passers-by, humans or vehicles, and even cause major accidents. Finally, the tree can become dangerous when it grows back because it can reach high voltage wires.<\/p>\n<h3>To prevent the proliferation of fungi<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes a tree has to be cut down because of diseases such as fungus. In this case, the bacteria are also found in the stumps, and thus in the roots. This means that they can quickly infect nearby plantations as they spread in the absence of grubbing.<\/p>\n<h3>For aesthetic and practical reasons<\/h3>\n<p>Tree trunks that protrude from the ground can be detrimental to the landscape and unnecessarily occupy valuable space. Also, they can attract insects as well as animals that feed on ants. All of these little creatures can migrate into your home and cause major damage.<\/p>\n<h2>Why should I hire a professional?<\/h2>\n<p>First, a professional is able to determine the most appropriate mechanical removal process for you in order to limit the damage as much as possible. He also knows and masters all the techniques and has the best equipment to carry out the operation safely and in compliance with regulations.<\/p>\n<h2>Choose Arboxygen for tree trunk removal !<\/h2>\n<p>We represent a quality partner for tree trunk removal in Granby and its surroundings.
