Tree Stump Removal

Tree stump removal will typically extend up to 10 inches below the ground surface to remove the stump itself and as much as possible of the outgrowing root system. While some individuals may choose to leave the stump portion, there are many good reasons to have it removed when you have the tree removed.

Tree Stump Removal

Tree stump removal will typically extend up to 14 feet below the ground surface to remove the stump itself and as much as possible of the outgrowing root system. While some individuals may choose to leave the stump portion, there are many good reasons to have it removed when you have the tree removed.

Here are the most compelling reasons to opt for tree stump removal:

The stump can rot and attract pests and parasites. The stump may attract termites which can then infest your home as well.

The stump can become an eyesore and detract from your home’s resale value.

The stump can interfere with new landscaping in that area of your lawn.

The stump can literally regrow if the root system is still intact!

Tree Stump Grinding

Tree stump grinding is the natural next step after stump removal has occurred. You may actually find yourself surprised by how massive the below-ground part of the removed tree is! There are a number of different stump grinding machines that can be used to grind down the stump. Some machines actually allow the stump grinding service to skip the laborious process of breaking up the below-ground stump by simply grinding all the way down into the ground.

With this approach, the stump grinder machine is positioned right over the area of the stump (which has been sawed off as close to ground level as is possible). Then the stump grinder machine is turned on. It uses a sharp teeth on a cutter wheel that circulates continuously to grind away the central column of the stump and the roots that surround it. The machine itself swings the grinding wheel in one direction and then the other as the teeth pulverizes the stump while leaving the rest of the surrounding lawn and landscape intact.

When the stump grinding process is complete, what you will be left with is a pile of wood chips. You can keep these chips to use as mulching fertilizer or have the tree service take it away.
