Today we’re undertaking a significant overgrown shrub removal project that involves the careful extraction of overgrown honeysuckle and crabapple bushes that have taken residence along two sides of the customer’s house. These particular bushes, while once perhaps a vibrant part of the landscape, have now become excessively overgrown and have ceased to produce any fruit, rendering them unnecessary and unappealing in their current state. Given their lack of productivity and the potential for them to harbor pests or diseases, there’s really no compelling reason to keep them around any longer. At Schott Services, trimming and removing bushes and shrubs is one of our key specialties, and we take great pride in transforming our customers' landscapes.

When it comes to eliminating these overgrown bushes, we have the right tools and expertise to make the process seamless and efficient. Our approach involves utilizing a mini skid steer outfitted with a specialized stump bucket attachment. This innovative tool functions similarly to a wedge designed for uprooting stumps, but it is also highly effective for tackling smaller trees and shrubs, such as the ones we are dealing with in this project. The process begins by carefully digging into the earth surrounding the base of the bushes using the stump bucket, which allows us to loosen the roots from the soil. Once we have established a secure grip, we apply force using the loader arms of the mini skid steer, allowing the bushes to pop right out of the ground with relative ease! After successfully extricating the shrubs, we then employ our mini skid steer grapple attachment to lift the removed foliage and load it onto our truck for transport. At this point, the only remaining task is to address any stubborn roots that may have been left behind in the ground, which we will ensure are properly dealt with.


To effectively remove any hidden roots, we utilize a hand rake to carefully expose them, allowing us to extract them from the earth without disturbing the surrounding soil too much. This meticulous process leaves behind rich, fertile ground that is ready for new grass or other plants to flourish. Furthermore, the foliage and roots that we have removed will be taken to a green recycling center, where they will be repurposed to create compost and other environmentally friendly products. If you have some overgrown foliage in your backyard or anywhere else on your property that needs attention, do not hesitate to get in touch with us at 317-784-8760 or via email at HappyDumpTruck@gmail.com. We are committed to providing you with quick and efficient service, ensuring that your landscape is transformed into a beautiful and manageable space!
