Clean Cut Tree Service, Inc.

Yes, we offer pruning services. Regular pruning enhances tree health, restores shape, and extends lifespan. It involves removing weak, dead, diseased, or insect-infested branches to prevent storm damage. Pruning also reduces wind resistance, decreasing the risk of breaking limbs. While homeowners can prune low branches, large tree pruning should be left to trained professionals due to the need for specialized equipment and safety considerations. Incorrect pruning techniques can expose trees to disease or even cause death. Our experts ensure proper pruning methods are used to promote tree health and healing.

Fertilization and mulching are beneficial for tree health. The ideal time for fertilizer application is during the dormant season (November through March), with spring and early summer (April through June) being the next best period. We typically avoid fertilizing between July and the first hard freeze to prevent frost damage to new growth. Mulching helps tree growth by reducing environmental stress and maintaining a stable root environment. It should be applied 2-3 inches thick, extending as far as possible from the tree, but kept 1-2 inches away from the trunk to prevent collar rot. For watering, we recommend deep, infrequent watering in the morning hours to promote deep root growth and minimize evaporation and fungal risks.

Stump grinding is a specialized process that removes tree stumps and roots 8-20 inches below ground level. This procedure is typically performed on the same day as tree removal, using a specialized machine operated by a professional. Stump grinding is beneficial for several reasons: it prevents sinkholes, is more efficient and safer than manual stump removal, creates natural mulch for landscaping, and removes the stump below grade level. The grinding machine's cutting teeth are designed to efficiently pulverize both wood and soil, resulting in a mixture of wood chips and soil.

Certainly, you can keep the firewood from trees we remove. We offer additional services such as cutting, splitting, and stacking the wood for your convenience. Please inquire about pricing for these and other services we provide. Additionally, if you require more firewood, we have it available for delivery.

Yes, we provide lot clearing services. Clearing an overgrown lot enhances property appeal, maintains good neighborly relations, and deters pests. Our lot clearing process reveals the full potential of your property by removing buckthorn and brush thickets. We can handle lots with varying degrees of brush and tree density, using our equipment to grind vegetation and leave behind a mixture of mulch and sawdust. This byproduct often serves as a soil enhancement, but we can remove it if desired. Our thorough clearing process results in an unobstructed property, which is particularly appreciated by builders.
