Although stumps are often left in place after tree removal, they can pose a problem in certain cases. The stumps are not only unsightly, they can also cause problems for future landscaping projects. There is also the possibility of the stump forming new shoots and possibly spreading root diseases like honey fungus.
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 makes more economic sense to pay that extra bit for stump removal when you are removing the tree. Stumps can be quite heavy and big, so the right tools and techniques are needed to successfully remove them.
What Does A Stump Removal And Grinding Service Include?
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’s ability to cut above and below ground means the stump can be removed without causing any damage to the surrounding area.
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 is now levelled so you can re-grass it after the tree stump has been removed. Perhaps you would like to plant a new variety of tree in your 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.
How Long Does Tree Stump Removal Take?
The removal of small stumps can take as little as a quarter of an hour, but larger ones could require up to an hour or more to be completely cut through, excavate and grind to a pulp.

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.
It can be a dangerous obstacle for children to play in the garden, especially if they are small. Also, it can cause liability issues. You could be held liable if someone injures themselves after tripping over the stump.
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. With some tree species, roots can continue to grow even after the tree is cut down. These roots can spread towards your foundation, causing cracks, or they can interfere with below-ground cables, water pipes, or even your septic tank.
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 affect the integrity and value of your home and have an adverse affect on your plant life.
Estate agents will tell you that kerb-appeal can influence the market value of your home by as much as 10%. If you are selling your house, a visible stump could affect your ability to achieve the price that you desire.

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.
