Will the tree roots die after stump grinding?

Yes. Once the stump is ground, the remaining roots naturally decompose underground over time and will not grow back.

Do you remove the wood chips after grinding?

Yes. We can either remove the chips and debris completely or leave them as natural mulch upon request.

Can stumps close to fences or buildings be ground safely?

Yes. Our precision stump grinders are designed to safely operate near fences, foundations, or concrete without causing damage.

Do you offer multiple stump removals at once?

Yes. We can handle one stump or multiple removals efficiently during the same visit, saving time and cost.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Western Hemlock Tree took down several trees that were ~200 feet and were within 20-30 feet of the house. They climbed and cut down the tree in segments, and were even able to retain a stump and tree house without damaging it. They did it methodically and efficiently, handled the debris, and cut everything into manageable rounds. They also completely managed the city permitting process, and planting requirements. Everything was fully discussed and clear before work was agreed to and started. Thank you for the great work!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience working with the professional Western Hemlock team on a challenging project to remove and prune several 100+ ft trees on a residential lot.
Brandon provided a detailed assessment, answered all questions, and worked directly with the city to secure approval to proceed. Marc and crew are highly skilled and amazingly precise as they worked together in very close proximity to power lines, our home and our neighbor’s. It’s art in motion. Clean up terrific as well. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marc and his crew did a fantastic job. They were on-time, professional, and friendly. They removed two large trees (>30ft) and two additional tree stumps. They did such a great job, they made it look like the trees were never there to begin with. I will definitely work with Western Hemlock , Marc and his crew again!
