Though stumps can still be left on the ground following tree removal, leaving them there can sometimes be problematic. In addition to their unattractive nature and the potential obstruction for future landscaping projects, the stump may also spread root disease such as honey-fungus.
Tree stumps are removed by either using hand tools or, more commonly, by using mechanical machinery, such as a stump grinder.
It is often more cost-effective to pay a little bit extra for stump removal when the tree is cut down. Stumps can be quite heavy and big, so the right tools and techniques are needed to successfully remove them.
What Is Included In A Stump Removal And Grinding Service?
The stump removal experts use high-powered, advanced stump grinders to grind down your tree stump, regardless of its size, with minimal ground disturbance. The machine can cut both above ground and underground, meaning that the stump is removed with the least amount of disturbance to the surrounding landscape.
The tree stump is ground to around 300 mm beneath the surface of the ground. This allows for ground preparation or replanting.
Once the stump is gone, the team can fill the remaining hole with a combination of the wood chippings and dirt. The ground will now be levelled, allowing you to re-grass the area if you like. Or maybe you want to plant a different tree in the newly created hole.
Add the remnants of your stump to your compost bin, or, turn it into mulch. Both are ideal for your garden plants needs. Whether you’re looking to improve your soil texture or water retention, spreading mulch on your plants will do the trick.
How Long Does Tree Stump Removal Take?

What Are The Dangers Of Leaving A Stump In Place And When Should It Be Removed?
It can cause you a lot of trouble if you do not remove the tree stump.
It’s a potentially dangerous obstacle, especially if your children are young as they may trip on it when playing in your garden. It could also pose a problem in terms of liability. 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. The roots of some trees will continue growing even after the tree was cut down. These roots may cause cracks in your foundation, interfere with underground cables, water pipes or your septic system.
Tree stumps may appear benign at first glance, but upon closer inspection they are 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. If you are selling your house, a visible stump could affect your ability to achieve the price that you desire.

Tree Stump Removal Services Frequently Asked Questions
Is it necessary to stump grind?
While having the stump ground is not always necessary, many people prefer to deal with the stump at the same time as having the tree removed. Stump grinding allows the property owner to use the area where the tree once stood for laying sod or planting a flower bed.
How effective is stump grinding?
Stump Grinding Takes Care of Tree Roots: You might assume that stump grinding would allow your tree to re-sprout again, since the roots are left behind. However, by grinding the stump all the way down, we are able to effectively eliminate any chance that unwanted tree will grow back.
What are the cons of stump grinding?
Root Decay. After stump grinding, the roots are also chopped up. This can lead to decay and fungus growth in the remaining wood. If you have plans to replant the area where the stump was removed, this could be a problem.
What happens if you don't grind a tree stump?
Decay and Disease Spread Tree stumps and their root systems will rot and decay over time. Fungi or mold that grows on the stump can be dangerous to your family's health. The rotting root system may also spread disease and infection to other trees or plants in your yard, leaving you with a barren, zombie garden.
Will the stump grow back after grinding?
The answer is yes – trees can grow back if the stump is left in place. While stump grinding presents less of a risk of regrowth, the roots are still left in place and can produce sprouts that may eventually grow into a tree.
