Removing Existing Plants

There are several reasons for the need to remove trees and shrubs, generally involving storm damage, disease, maintenance issues, or sheer size issues. Renovating the garden by removing trees and shrubs due to size requires some consideration of how big is too big. Larger trees should be removed by a professional tree service that is trained to avoid damaging the property and has the proper safety equipment. However, if tree and shrub removal appears to be within the homeowner’s capabilities, the same basic process should be followed as for the perennial removal mentioned above. Small shrubs and trees can be scooped out of the ground with the help of a shovel.
