Although stumps are often left in place after tree removal, they can pose a problem in certain cases. This is not only because they are unsightly or could impede future landscaping plans, but also because the potential for the stump to form new shoots or spread root diseases such a honey fungus should be considered.
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 can be very heavy and bulky, and therefore require the appropriate equipment and techniques to remove them.
What Is Included In A Stump Grinding And Removal Service?
The stump removal specialist uses high-powered stump grinders with advanced technology to grind the stump, no matter how large it is, while causing as little disturbance to the ground as possible. The machine’s ability to cut above and below ground means the stump can be removed without causing any damage to the surrounding area.
The stump and buttress roots of the tree are ground down to around 300 mm below ground, which allows for replanting or ground preparation for just about any other purpose.
After the stump has been taken out, the team will fill the hole in with a combination of dirt and wood chippings. When the hole has been filled in, the ground will be levelled so that you can grass it if you like. Maybe you want to plant another tree type in the newly made 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.

What Are The Hazards Of Leaving A Tree Stump And When Is It Best To Remove It?
If you don’t remove a tree stump, it can lead to a number of issues.
First, it can be a dangerous obstruction, especially for small children who might trip and fall while playing. It can create a liability issue. 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 that are left in the ground may produce new sprouts during the growing period, which can make them more unsightly. With some tree species the roots will also continue to grow even after the tree has been cut down. These roots could cause cracks to appear in your foundation or interfere with pipes, cables or your septic tanks.
The stump may seem harmless, but it is often 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 could compromise your property’s integrity and value as well as negatively affect your plant life.
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.

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.

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.

How deep should you grind a stump?
