During regularly scheduled tree work, small tree limbs and branches are run through a chipper and hauled away after pruning or tree removal. On undeveloped sites branches are sometimes mulched with a mechanical mower or wind rowed along the edge of the corridor. Wood chips are available, through our contractors, in areas where our vegetation management crews are working. Chips are available only by the truckload, approximately 10 cubic yards (enough to cover a 10-foot x 100-foot area, 3-4 inches deep). If one of our vegetation management crews is working in your area and you want to arrange for delivery, please contact us.

Wood that is too large for the chipper is cut into manageable lengths and left on the property, near the base of the tree. Disposal or use of all such wood is the property owner's responsibility.

In most cases, stumps will be cut off flush with the ground. Trees that are located in fencerows or that contain metal, cement, rocks, etc. will be cut above the interfering material. Vegetation management crews do not remove stumps or roots of trees, although this service may be available at a nominal cost in some areas. Debris clean-up associated with tree requests or storm damage is the member's responsibility.
