In some cases, even after a tree is felled, its roots can continue to grow and spread. 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 may seem harmless, but it is often anything but. Tree stumps could harbour termites or ants as well as other insects such as wood-boring beetles and other insects, which, in no time, an infestation would have taken place. This could compromise your property’s integrity and value as well as negatively affect your plant life.

Tree Stump Grinding 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.
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.
Is stump grinding the same as stump removal?
Stump removal is more time and labor-intensive than stump grinding. Plus, after the removal, you'll be left with many steps to take care of afterward, including filling the large hole with soil and hauling away the old trunk and roots. If you're looking for a quicker turnaround, grinding is going to be the best option.
Can you remove a stump without a stump grinder?
The best ways to remove stumps include physical removal by digging it out and cutting away the roots, chemical removal to speed up the natural process of rotting, or using fire to smolder it down.
