For tree services, having a powerful wood chipper is as essential as having climbing equipment.
Here is why?
All professional tree services need to get rid of debris when removing a tree.
So, that’s why landscapers must have a decent wood chipper.
This machine is part of the tree cutting equipment, and by having this equipment, landscapers make the wood chipping task a more manageable task.
For instance, the wood chipper turns branches, small trunks, and sticks into wood mulch.
Wood chippers come in different sizes. But you can broadly identify them into brush chipper and whole tree chipper.
The first is usually towed behind a truck or a pick-up. Brush chippers can take logs up to 18″ in diameter.
The other types are the whole tree chippers. They can take trees up to 30″ in diameter.
Stump Grinders to Remove Roots
Stump grinders are heavy-duty machines. These machines are beneficial to remove tree stump and roots.
In other words, a stump grinder makes sure to leave no trace when removing a tree.
You could even fill the hole in your yard, install some sod, or plant a flower bed. Indeed, you can use this space and make it look like there was never a tree there.
Another benefit of stump grinding is that you can avoid accidents and inconveniences. You can eliminate a tree hazard for small children and senior citizens.
Also, by eliminating the tree stump, you’ll protect your yard against disease and pests.
A Variety of Axes and Wedges
Axes are one of the oldest tools, and they are ideal to cut branches and even small trees.
Sometimes tree removers can have difficulties maneuvering with a chainsaw. So, they use axes. Axes are suitable for cutting small branches or other tree sections that are not easy to cut with a chainsaw.
Landscapers handle sharp tools like axes, wedges, chainsaws, etc., with extreme care and expertise. That is why we advise getting expert help.
In the case of felling wedges, they are not a cutting tool. Instead, they are used to help a tree fell in the desired direction.
Wedges are best for medium to large trees. When the tree professional cuts the trunk with a chainsaw, they insert the wedge before the felling cut is completed.
Landscapers use a hammer or an impact bar to knock wedges in. We always use plastic or aluminum wedges. In this way, we don’t risk damaging the chain if we accidentally cut into them.
Safety Wear to Reduce Risk
Tree professionals have the most efficient safety wear to reduce risk when cutting a tree.
Safety wear includes helmets, face shields, gloves, protective clothing, safety glasses, earmuffs, and work boots.
Trust Your Tree Removal to Skilled, Equipped & Seasoned Professionals

We created this blog to help you identify who you should call. Remember that the bigger the tree and the less space you have to maneuver, the more dangerous the task will be.
