When it comes to choosing complete tree removal or stump grinding, Lara residents have to weigh up the pros and cons of each method. Our team would always urge you to speak to a qualified arborist before making your decision, but it’s useful for you to know the benefits and risks associated with both methods.

Pros & cons of tree removal in Lara

People often call us about tree removal because it:

  • Completely removes stump and roots from ground, leaving nothing behind
  • Allows you to replant in the same spot as the tree was.
  • Doesn’t leave anything sticking out of the ground that could be tripped on.

Cons:

Some of the reasons you may not want to go for a complete tree removal is because:

  • It takes longer than stump grinding
