When you are planning on having a tree removed from your home, there is a lot of work to do. You may have to deal with having waste hauled off and stumps that get left behind after the removal. For the waste, you may want to consider options like repurposing it in landscaping. If you have stumps that you have left behind after tree removal, there are options like burning them or stump grinding. Here are some tips to help you deal with the extra work that needs to be done when you have a tree removal done:

1. Wood Chippers and Mulching Tree Waste Materials

Using mulch in your landscaping is a great way to deal with tree waste materials after you have a tree removal done. You can also create compost materials with some of the smaller leafy debris that you need to dispose of. Use a wood chipper to break the waste materials down, and use them as mulch and compost. If you do not have a wood chipper, contact a tool rental shop or talk with a tree service to get help with breaking the materials down to use as mulch and compost in your landscaping.

2. Repurposing Tree Removal Waste as Usable Lumber

In addition to chipping the tree waste, there are other options to repurpose the materials. If you have landscaping projects that need to be done, you may want to consider using some of the larger materials for timber and lumber. If you want to use the materials for lumber, you can use a chainsaw mill to cut the materials and store them in a dry place to allow them to cure and then use them when you need them.

3. Dealing With Stumps That Are an Unsightly Feature in Landscaping

Another problem that you will have to deal with when dealing with tree waste is the stumps that get left behind. If you want to get rid of the stump yourself, you may want to burn as much of it as possible before attempting to remove it. Another option is to contact a tree service and have them grind the stump for you to get rid of it.

These are some tips to help deal with the extra work that needs to be done when having a tree removal done. If you need help with tree removal and other tasks, contact a tree service, like Hudson & Sons Tree Service, to help with some of the biggest jobs.
