Although, plant preservation is the ultimate goal of any professional arborist , felling of trees and shrubs may become necessary when plants are severely damaged by storms or vandalism, infected with various diseases, shed their “living space”, or simply cause maintenance problems.

On the other hand, in urban spaces, the lifespan of plants such as trees and shrubs is much shorter, compared to that of their analogues in the forest. If a tree has been dead for some time, its structure becomes weaker, and therefore such a tree can pose a threat to people and structures around it. In such cases tree or shrub removal becomes the only option.
The felling process is different for trees and shrubs. While many shrubs can be removed with labor and widely available hand tools, felling larger plants may require special equipment and machinery .; chainsaws to cut down a plant, rigging to pull the ground and ultimately the experience of trained personnel to ensure safe and efficient work. Also, when tree removal is complete a tree stump may remain. Stump grubbing service is one of the most effective and easiest methods to get rid of stumps.
