Although stumps are often left in place after tree removal, they can pose a problem in certain cases. The stumps are not only unsightly, they can also cause problems for future landscaping projects. There is also the possibility of the stump forming new shoots and possibly spreading root diseases like honey fungus.
Tree stumps are removed by either using hand tools or, more commonly, by using mechanical machinery, such as a stump grinder.
The most economical option is to pay the little bit extra money to have the stump removed along with the tree. Stumps are usually large and heavy, and therefore require special equipment and techniques to remove them.

What Are The Risks If You Leave A Tree Stump And When Should I Remove It?
If you don’t remove a tree stump, it can lead to a number of issues.
It’s a potentially dangerous obstacle, especially if your children are young as they may trip on it when playing in your garden. The stump can also cause a liability problem. Someone who trips and falls on the stump could claim that you were negligent in leaving it.
Removal of the tree, but leaving behind a stump, does not signify the end of growth. Stumps in the ground can grow new shoots at the base of the stump during the growing seasons, making them appear even more unsightly. With some tree species, roots can continue to grow even after the tree is cut down. These roots could cause cracks to appear in your foundation or interfere with pipes, cables or your septic tanks.
The stump of a tree may seem benign, but a closer inspection will reveal that it’s anything but. Tree stumps may harbour ants, termites, wood-boring beetles and other insects. It would not be long before an infestation was in full swing. This can have a negative impact on your plants as well as compromise the integrity and value of your property.
Estate agents say that curb appeal has a 10% to more impact on the market price of a house. You may not be able to sell your home for the desired price if there is a visible tree stump.

Is stump grinding worth it?
If you want to save money, stump grinding is the better option. Why? Stump grinding is less expensive than stump removal since only the trunk is worked on.

Is using a stump grinder difficult?
Stump grinders are complicated and dangerous machines that the average homeowner might not be able to handle. Not only are they heavy and unwieldy but stump grinders tend to kick up a lot of debris, which can result in injury to an inexperienced user. If used improperly, they can also cause severe damage to a yard.
How long does it take to grind a tree stump with a stump grinder?
The machine can grind the stump to ground level, or it can grind the stump as low as one foot below ground level to create a hole you can then fill in. Grinding a stump is much faster and more efficient than removing it. The whole process typically takes less than two hours, and doesn't leave much work for afterwards.
How deep should you grind a stump?
Typically we grind the stumps 4 to 6 inches below grade. Roots and the heart of the stump below that will remain. Over time these will rot out and should not be a problem. You may be able to plant small shrubs or grasses directly in the area where we grind the stump.
