Although stumps are often left in place after tree removal, they can pose a problem in certain cases. 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 is the process of removing a tree stump after the tree has been cut down. Removing the stump can be done with either hand tools, or by using mechanical machinery like a stump grinder.
It is often more cost-effective to pay a little bit extra for stump removal when the tree is cut down. Stumps can be very heavy and bulky, and therefore require the appropriate equipment and techniques to remove them.
What Is Included In A Stump Removal And Grinding Service?
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 is capable of cutting both above and below ground, so the stump can be removed with minimal disruption to the landscape.
The tree stump is ground to around 300 mm beneath the surface of the ground. This allows for ground preparation or replanting.
The team will fill in the hole with a combination of wood chips and dirt once the stump has been removed. The ground is now levelled so you can re-grass it after the tree stump has been removed. Or perhaps you’d like a brand new tree to be planted in that 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.

First, it can be a dangerous obstruction, especially for small children who might trip and fall while playing. Also, it can cause liability issues. Someone who trips and falls on the stump could claim that you were negligent in leaving it.
It is important to note that a tree stump left behind after removal does not mean the growth process has ended Stumps that are left in the ground may produce new sprouts during the growing period, which can make them more unsightly. In some cases, even after a tree is felled, its roots can continue to grow and spread. These roots could cause cracks to appear in your foundation or interfere with pipes, cables or your septic tanks.
The stump of a tree may seem benign, but a closer inspection will reveal that it’s 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 can affect the integrity and value of your home and have an adverse affect on your plant life.

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.
