Although stumps may be left after a tree is cut down, their placement can present problems in some situations. 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 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.
It is often more cost-effective to pay a little bit extra for stump removal when the tree is cut down. 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 experts use high-powered, advanced stump grinders to grind down your tree stump, regardless of its size, with minimal ground disturbance. 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.
The team will fill in the hole with a combination of wood chips and dirt once the stump has been removed. 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.
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?

It can be a dangerous obstacle for children to play in the garden, especially if they are small. It could also pose a problem in terms of liability. 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 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 the roots will also continue to grow even after the tree has been 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 cause damage to your property and have an adverse effect 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%. When you sell your home, a tree stump that is visible on your property can make it difficult to get the price desired.
