When you need to remove a tree or stump from the yard, what will you do with it? Some people place the logs out by the curb for the garbage truck to pick up. Others leave them in the yard for ages, creating the perfect habitat for fungus and termites. Wood chipping is a perfect option that’s easy and affordable. Below, Childers Tree Service in York, SC, shares three of the main reasons their clients call about wood chipping, so you know when to use their service.

3 Reasons for Wood Chipping Services

1. Clean Up After Storm

When there’s a big storm, a huge tree can fall into your yard. You could chop it up and have a bonfire, but you’d need all the right equipment to get through the thick trunk. Instead, call professionals who will turn the massive tree into tiny pieces that you can use in your landscaping or get hauled away.

2. Improve Yard Safety

Do you have a stump or two in the yard that causes you stress? Your kids may trip over them while playing or you might run over them with the lawnmower. Avoid the possible medical emergencies and machine damages that stumps cause by using a wood chipping service. These handy experts remove the stump completely, so you can use the yard without fear.

3. Prevent Erosion

When you remove a tree, it also means taking out roots that provide structural support to dirt and grass. Instead of leaving this area open, turn the tree into wood chips and place them in the hole that was left behind. These fragments will soak up rain and make a barrier to lessen the effects of heavy precipitation and improve drainage.

Wood chipping is an ideal way to clean up the yard and create the perfect personalized landscaping material. To schedule an appointment for this service, call Childers Tree Service at (803) 627-3157.
