Although stumps may be left after a tree is cut down, their placement can present problems in some situations. 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.
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 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 specialist uses high-powered stump grinders with advanced technology to grind the stump, no matter how large it is, while causing as little disturbance to the ground as possible. 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 are ground to a depth of around 300mm, which is sufficient 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 now be levelled, allowing you to re-grass the area if you like. Maybe you want to plant another tree type in the newly made 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 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 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 in the ground can grow new shoots at the base of the stump during the growing seasons, making them appear even more unsightly. The roots of some trees will continue growing even after the tree was cut down. These roots may cause cracks in your foundation, interfere with underground cables, water pipes or your septic system.
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 could compromise your property’s integrity and value as well as negatively affect your plant life.
Estate agents will tell you that curb appeal can impact the value of your home by up to 10%. Tree stumps on your property may make it harder to sell your house for the price you’d like.
