The decision to leave stumps in place can be problematic in some cases. 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 stump removal refers to the removal of a left-over tree stump. The stump can be removed using either hand tools or, in most cases, mechanical machinery.
When a tree is being felled, it makes economic sense to pay a little bit extra to have the stump removed at the same time. Stumps can be heavy and large, so they require the correct equipment and techniques for removal.
What Does A Stump Removal And Grinding Service Include?
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 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 stump is gone, the team can fill the remaining hole with a combination of the wood chippings and dirt. The ground will be levelled, so you can grass it. 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.
How Long Does It Take To Remove A Tree Stump?
To remove small stumps, it may take a quarter-hour, while to grind larger ones to pulp, they will need to be excavated, cut and ground, which can take up to an hour.

What Are The Hazards Of Leaving A Tree Stump And When Is It Best To Remove It?
The consequences of not removing the tree stumps from your garden can be many.
It is a dangerous obstacle, particularly if you have young children who could trip over it while playing in your garden. 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 that are left in the ground may produce new sprouts during the growing period, which can make them more unsightly. With some tree species the roots will also continue to grow even after the tree has been cut down. These roots may cause cracks in your foundation, interfere with underground cables, water pipes or your septic system.
The stump of a tree may seem benign, but a closer inspection will reveal that it’s 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 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.

Tree Stump Removal 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.
