Though stumps can still be left on the ground following tree removal, leaving them there can sometimes be problematic. In addition to their unattractive nature and the potential obstruction for future landscaping projects, the stump may also spread root disease such as honey-fungus.
Tree stumps are removed by either using hand tools or, more commonly, by using mechanical machinery, such as a stump grinder.
The most economical option is to pay the little bit extra money to have the stump removed along with the tree. Stumps are usually large and heavy, and therefore require special equipment and techniques to remove them.

The growth of a tree is not stopped by removing it and leaving the stump. Stumps can sprout new growth from their base in the growing season, which makes them look even more unsightly. With some tree species, roots can continue to grow even after the tree is 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 are a breeding ground for termites, ants, wood-boring beetles and other insects, which could quickly lead to an infestation. This can cause damage to your property and have an adverse effect on your plant life.

Stump Grinding Services FAQs
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.
