Commercial properties rely on safe, well-managed landscapes. When trees become overgrown, unstable, or stand in the way of new construction, they can slow down operations and raise liability concerns.
A recent request from Wheeler Machinery in West Valley City shows how complex large-scale removals can be, especially when multiple trees and root systems need to be handled at once.
Go and Grow provides Utah County tree removal and stump grinding services for both homeowners and commercial sites, and projects like this highlight why experience matters.
When 24 trees must be removed along the perimeter of an active property, the plan needs to be direct, efficient, and safe from start to finish.
How Commercial Tree Removal Differs From Residential Work
Tree removal on commercial sites comes with a different set of expectations. These properties often have heavy equipment moving through outdoor areas, employees walking nearby, and strict schedules that can’t be disrupted for long.
Removing dozens of trees around a facility in West Valley City requires coordination with managers and clear communication with crews on the ground.
Commercial sites also involve mixed species and varied conditions. Some may have shallow roots, while others may have deep root balls that resist standard extraction. Each tree around the Wheeler Machinery site needs its root ball removed to avoid regrowth and to clear the way for any future grading or construction.
Why Root Ball Removal Matters
Many property owners think cutting down the tree is enough. For small stumps on residential lawns, that might work. But commercial projects demand full root ball removal. It prevents roots from interfering with utilities, walkways, or new structures.
It also makes future landscaping easier and safer. For this project in WVC, every stump must be stump ground 8–12 inches below grade so the ground can be leveled without hidden roots causing problems later.
Tree roots tend to spread far beyond the trunk, so grinding below grade is a reliable way to eliminate them without tearing up large sections of soil. This matters for companies that rely on clean, stable surfaces for heavy machinery.
Planning a Removal on an Active Property
A commercial site doesn’t stop running just because a tree crew arrives. That means every cut and every haul-away step must be timed carefully.
Crews need to work around parking areas, delivery zones, and equipment pathways. Go and Grow has handled similar projects throughout Utah and Salt Lake Counties, from West Jordan to Lehi, where businesses can’t afford unexpected downtime.
The first step is always a full walkthrough. Mapping out each tree avoids disruptions and helps determine where equipment can access each location. Even with 24 removals, the goal is to keep the flow of the property as normal as possible.
Why Professional Crews Are Essential for Large Removals
This scale of work isn’t something to leave to inexperienced crews or temporary labor. Removing dozens of trees around a commercial property requires trained climbers, experienced sawyers, and operators who know how to manage heavy equipment safely.
Commercial trees often grow near fencing, signage, storage yards, and utility lines. Dropping them safely takes more than standard trimming experience.
In places like Orem, Lehi, and West Valley City, where many businesses work near shared access points or public roads, precision matters even more.
Keeping the Property Clean and Ready for What Comes Next
Once the trees are down and the stump grinding is complete, the site needs to be cleaned thoroughly. Excess wood and debris around a commercial yard can interfere with traffic flow or create hazards for staff.
Grinding stumps below grade 8–12 inches helps create a smooth surface so the property can transition straight into its next phase with minimal disruption.
Whether the goal is new construction, drainage improvements, expanded parking, or simply better visibility along the property line, clearing the site correctly ensures long-term stability.
