Though stumps can still be left on the ground following tree removal, leaving them there can sometimes be problematic. 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 is the process of removing a tree stump after the tree has been cut down. Removing the stump can be done with either hand tools, or by using mechanical machinery like 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 quite heavy and big, so the right tools and techniques are needed to successfully remove them.
What Is 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 is capable of cutting both above and below ground, so the stump can be removed with minimal disruption to the landscape.
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 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. Perhaps you would like to plant a new variety of tree in your 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.

What Are The Dangers Of Leaving A Stump In Place And When Should It Be Removed?
The consequences of not removing the tree stumps from your garden can be many.
First, it can be a dangerous obstruction, especially for small children who might trip and fall while playing. It can create a liability issue. 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. With some tree species, roots can continue to grow even after the tree is cut down. These roots can spread silently toward your foundation and cause cracks. They may also interfere with water lines, underground cables, or a sewer tank.
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 will tell you that curb appeal can impact the value of your home by up to 10%. You may not be able to sell your home for the desired price if there is a visible tree stump.

Stump Grinding 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.
