Stump Grinding
In order to remove a stump after felling a tree to ground level it is necessary to use a stump grinder as this is the quickest and most effective method to obtain a stump-free finish.
If this requirement was expressed in your consultation then it will be detailed on your quotation to be carried out. However, if it is not detailed in your quotation and you would like the stump to be removed Heartwood Tree Surgeons Limited is able to arrange this for you.
Bracing
Flexible bracing is a technique used to provide additional support for branch and stem unions showing indicative signs of inherent weakness e.g. tight forks or heavy lateral branches. Braces are designed to assist the tree's mechanics in extreme conditions such as strong winds.
The above description for bracing is taken from "BS 3998:1989 Recommendations for tree work"
