Though stumps can still be left on the ground following tree removal, leaving them there can sometimes be problematic. 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.
The most economical option is to pay the little bit extra money to have the stump removed along with the tree. Stumps can be heavy and large, so they require the correct equipment and techniques for removal.
What Does A Stump Removal And Grinding Service Include?
The stump-removal specialists use powerful, high tech stump grinders. They can grind your stump no matter what size it is with minimal disturbance of the ground around it. 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 now be levelled, allowing you to re-grass the area if you like. Or perhaps you’d like a brand new tree to be planted in that newly created hole.
You can add the remnants of your tree stump to your compost bin, or you can turn it into mulch. Mulch is a great way to improve the water retention properties of the soil in your garden.
How Long Does The Tree Stump Removal Process Take?
It may take up to 15 – 30 minutes to remove a small stump, while larger ones can require an hour or longer to completely cut through, dig out and grind to a pulp.

What Are Some Of The Risks Associated With Leaving A Stump Behind And When Should You Remove It?
A tree stump left in your garden could cause many problems.
It is a dangerous obstacle, particularly if you have young children who could trip over it while playing in your garden. 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 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.
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 can have a negative impact on your plants as well as compromise the integrity and value of your property.
Estate agents will tell you that curb appeal can impact the value of your home by up to 10%. If you are selling your house, a visible stump could affect your ability to achieve the price that you desire.
