What Is A Stump Grinding And Removal Service?
The stump grinding specialists are equipped with high-powered stump grinders that can grind any tree stump regardless of size. This is done while causing the least amount of disturbance to your ground around it. The machine is able to cut above-ground as well as underground, which means that it will remove the tree stump with minimal disturbance of the surrounding landscape.
The stump and buttress roots are ground to a depth of around 300mm, which is sufficient 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. The ground will be levelled, so you can grass it. Or perhaps you’d like a brand new tree to be planted in that newly created hole.
The remnants of your tree stump can be added to your compost bin or turned into mulch to enhance the texture and fertility of your soil, or spread around your plants to increase their water-retention abilities.

What Are The Dangers Of Leaving A Stump In Place And When Should It Be Removed?
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. The stump can also cause a liability problem. It is possible that if someone falls over and gets injured, they can claim you were negligent for leaving it there.
The growth of a tree is not stopped by removing it and leaving the stump. Stumps in the ground can grow new shoots at the base of the stump during the growing seasons, making them appear 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%. When you sell your home, a tree stump that is visible on your property can make it difficult to get the price desired.
