Although stumps may be left after a tree is cut down, their placement can present problems in some situations. 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 stump removal involves removing a stump left after a tree has been felled tree, either by hand or by using mechanical equipment 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 Removal And Grinding Service?
The stump-removal specialists use powerful, high tech stump grinders. They can grind your stump no matter what size it is with minimal disturbance of the ground around it. 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. Maybe you want to plant another tree type in the newly made 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.

What Are Some Of The Risks Associated With Leaving A Stump Behind And When Should You 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. 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. In some cases, even after a tree is felled, its roots can continue to grow and spread. These roots can spread towards your foundation, causing cracks, or they can interfere with below-ground cables, water pipes, or even your septic tank.
Tree stumps may appear benign at first glance, but upon closer inspection they are anything but. Tree stumps are a breeding ground for termites, ants, wood-boring beetles and other insects, which could quickly lead to an infestation. This can affect the integrity and value of your home and have an adverse affect on 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.

Tree Stump Removal Services Frequently Asked Questions
Is stump grinding a good idea?
Both the stump and the roots below are destroyed and removed so that regrowth won't become an issue. In this way, deciding to have your stump ground when you cut down the tree can save you money in the long run. It takes care of the issue the first time, eliminating the chance for sprouting.
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. It also does not require as powerful equipment and is far less labor-intensive, considering the intricate below-ground root system can be left in place this way.
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.
