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 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.
It is often more cost-effective to pay a little bit extra for stump removal when the tree is cut down. Stumps are usually large and heavy, and therefore require special equipment and techniques to remove them.
What Is Included In A Stump Grinding And Removal 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 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.
Once the tree stump has been removed, the team can fill in the hole using a combination of wood chip and dirt. When the hole has been filled in, the ground will be levelled so that you can grass it if you like. Or perhaps you’d like a brand new tree to be planted in that 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.

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.
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 could compromise your property’s integrity and value as well as negatively affect your plant life.
