And sometimes, the importance of the damage caused by this phenomenon forces us to cut down the plants. This is the only possible solution to protect the surrounding area from the dangers of a possible fall. What are the next steps to take after this procedure?<\/p>\n<h2>In what situations should trees be cut down?<\/h2>\n<p>It is absolutely necessary to cut down a tree in the following 2 cases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is no longer any feasible solution to restore and strengthen it.<\/li>\n<li>It represents a danger for passers-by and surrounding structures because of its fragility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What to do after cutting down trees?<\/h2>\n<p>Professionals always recommend removing tree stumps after felling. Here are the reasons why:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Trees may grow back with messy branches pointing in all directions, as the roots continue to be supplied with nutrients and water as long as the stump is planted in the ground. It is both unsightly and dangerous.<\/li>\n<li>The roots of the stumps spread much faster and may affect the roots of nearby plants or even damage the foundations of nearby buildings.<\/li>\n<li>The stumps can be dangerous for people or vehicles in the vicinity.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, disease or fungus can spread to other plants if the trees in question were infected before the ice storm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How do you proceed with the grubbing of trees?<\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to dethatch trees:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mechanical grubbing which consists of removing tree stumps using specific equipment. In this category, we find techniques such as ripping, crushing, calcination and debitage.<\/li>\n<li>The grubbing by decomposition which, as its name indicates, consists in using specific products to accelerate the decomposition of the stumps and devitalize them.<\/li>\n<li>Light deprivation, which consists of covering the stumps so that they no longer receive sunlight and thus stop growing properly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Do I need to call a professional for the stump removal?<\/h2>\n<p>Like felling, stump removal is a delicate operation that requires the intervention of a qualified professional who knows the different possible techniques and masters the use of essential equipment. He is also able to determine the most effective method for each situation.
