Tree Service in Mobile, AL

Tree Removal: When it comes to tree removal, we at Senior Tree Service consider ourselves the experts. Tree removal serves as the general foundation for most jobs, and as a result, we operate with extreme care and diligence when performing tree removal. One of the issues with tree removal is that landscapers and clients alike generally don’t feel the need to remove trees until they see an undeniable problem. While we understand the imperative nature of neutralizing a threat and furthermore removing trees from enacting danger, we believe in taking preventative measures to help stop problems from occurring. A lot of preventative measures include keeping up to date with your tree’s overall health. Keep in mind that certain species of trees have different requirements for health and homeostasis. What might be a sensible course of action for one tree is bound to cause problems for another. 

We at Senior Tree Service have experience with many different species of trees. As a result, we know the warning signs to look for that can help determine when it’s best to extract a tree in its entirety. Sometimes a tree you might think needs to be removed only needs an extensive trimming to remain viable. Our experts will know the difference and can help guide you when you choose a course of action. A lot of trees require removal after exposure to canker diseases. If you’re not familiar with canker diseases, they can render a tree non-functioning. Our experts can help you recognize the warning signs of canker diseases. Nevertheless, we encourage you to reach out immediately if a tree poses an immediate threat. 

Tree Trimming: Tree trimming is unfortunately often neglected by both property owners and landscapers. Amateur landscaping services will often trim trees without any prior knowledge regarding how best to do so. Anyone can trim a tree, but it takes an expert to perform the job in a way that stimulates healthy growth. Tree trimming is far more involved than removing a pesky branch. Like most organisms, trees have their own energy flow. Adequate energy flow is provided by overall anatomy. Inexperienced arborists will leave a tree with excess branches. On the contrary, they can potentially trim too much off. Both of these approaches can be extremely harmful to your trees. 

When in doubt, property owners can always elect for pruning rather than trimming. Pruning is a less invasive and typically less expensive alternative to a massive trimming job. If you choose to go the pruning route, you will typically need to prune more often. However, if you can maintain a regular pruning routine, it can save you time and money in the long-run. We would love to show you why we remain the top service for tree trimming Mobile AL residents trust for premium results. 

Stump Grinding: Our new clients are often surprised to hear that tree removal does not include the removal of the tree’s stump. Unfortunately, most stumps require a more invasive removal to ensure safety is maintained. Stumps are usually embedded deeply into the ground and have comprehensive and intricate root systems tying them down. As a result, there are typically two methods we recommend for complete removal. The most effective method is stump grinding, which breaks down, and mixes the stump itself into the ground. While this method doesn’t completely extract the stump, it will break it down in its entirety. Arborists typically prefer this course of action because it is significantly less invasive to the tree’s surrounding areas. 

The other course of action includes complete removal. We will use our equipment to extract the stump in its entirety, including root systems. This process is typically more expensive and takes more time to perform. Understandably, most tree services will prefer the grinding method however it is not always safe to do so. Sometimes it is necessary to remove a stump in its entirety particularly if it is diseased. Nevertheless, our experts will always make sure you have all the information to make an informed decision.
