Although stumps may be left after a tree is cut down, their placement can present problems in some situations. 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.
The most economical option is to pay the little bit extra money to have the stump removed along with the tree. Stumps can be heavy and large, so they require the correct equipment and techniques for removal.
What Is Included In A Stump Grinding And Removal 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’s ability to cut above and below ground means the stump can be removed without causing any damage to the surrounding area.
The stump of the tree and its buttress roots is ground down to about 300-mm below the ground surface, allowing for replanting as well as ground preparation for other purposes.
Once the tree stump has been removed, the team can fill in the hole using a combination of wood chip 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.
You can add the remnants of your tree stump to your compost bin, or you can turn it into mulch. Mulch is a great way to improve the water retention properties of the soil in your garden.
How Long Does It Take To Remove A Tree Stump?

What Are The Risks If You Leave A Tree Stump And When Should I Remove It?
A tree stump left in your garden could cause many problems.
First, it can be a dangerous obstruction, especially for small children who might trip and fall while playing. It could also pose a problem in terms of liability. It is possible that if someone falls over and gets injured, they can claim you were negligent for leaving it there.
Removal of the tree, but leaving behind a stump, does not signify the end of growth. Stumps can sprout new growth from their base in the growing season, which makes them look even more unsightly. In some cases, even after a tree is felled, its roots can continue to grow and spread. 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 could harbour termites or ants as well as other insects such as wood-boring beetles and other insects, which, in no time, an infestation would have taken place. This could compromise your property’s integrity and value as well as negatively affect your plant life.
Estate agents will tell you that curb appeal can impact the value of your home by up to 10%. Tree stumps on your property may make it harder to sell your house for the price you’d like.
