FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. Do you take everything away?
Most customers these days require removal of arisings from site and this will normally be specified in the quotation. However woodchips make a useful garden mulch (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) and we are increasingly finding clients requesting that the chips are left for their own use. Logs can be used to create invaluable wildlife habitat, if stacked in a damp corner of the garden or half buried in the ground. We can also carve seats into stumps or leave large logs to make garden benches.

2. What happens to the stump chippings?
When a stump is removed using a grinder, the resultant chips will not be removed unless specified. This is because they become incorporated with the soil and begin to decompose quite rapidly adding organic matter that improves soil structure.

3. Will my neighbours be affected?
Sometimes it is necessary to have access to a neighbouring property particularly when branches overhang. Please inform them of your intention to carry out work and the date on which it will take place. Our arborists are always polite and courteous. However, a neighbour returning from shopping or work will not be amused to find people on their property if not informed.
