Roots snake across your lawn, catch the mower blade, and trip people on the way to the door. Maybe they are left over from a tree that came down years ago. Maybe they are getting in the way of a new garden bed. Toms Tree Services removes roots in Marquette so your ground is smooth and usable again.
When Do You Need Root Removal?
Root removal makes sense when surface roots stick up in the lawn, block a garden bed, or keep scalping the mower. Roots left after a stump grind can also get in the way of new grass or planting.
In the U.P., thin soil over rock pushes many roots up near the surface. Frost heave each winter can lift them even more. On dense wooded lots, roots from several trees often tangle in the same spot.
Waiting lets roots get thicker each year. That makes them harder to remove and more likely to lift walks and edging.
One word of care: cutting big roots on a living tree can hurt it or make it less stable. We look at that first and tell you if a root is too close to the trunk to cut safely.
We remove roots for homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and across Marquette County. Summer, fall and early winter are good times, since wet spring ground can make access hard.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
It starts with you. Call 906-236-9567 or send the form with your name, phone number and address. Lucas will call you back to set a time to look at the roots.
Then we come out and look at the job. We look at which roots are a problem, where they come from, and what is buried nearby. We ask you to have lines marked when needed. Then we plan whether to cut, grind, or both.
After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure. If you go ahead, we grind the stump below the ground with a stump grinder, turning it into wood chips. Then we talk with you about the chips and the hole.
How Much Does Root Removal Cost?
Root removal cost depends on how many roots there are, how thick and deep they run, and the ground they are in. Rocky soil and tight spaces add work. Distance, gear, and cleanup also matter. The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee.
When we give you the estimate, we go over what it covers, such as how deep we grind, and whether chips are left to fill the hole or hauled away. That way you can pick what fits your needs and budget.
