The decision to leave stumps in place can be problematic in some cases. Not only are they unsightly and can obstruct future landscaping, but the possibility of them forming new shoots and spreading root diseases like honey fungus must also be considered.
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.
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 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 tree stump is ground to around 300 mm beneath the surface of the ground. This allows for ground preparation or replanting.
Once the tree stump has been removed, the team can fill in the hole using a combination of wood chip and dirt. The ground will now be levelled, allowing you to re-grass the area if you like. Perhaps you would like to plant a new variety of tree in your 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 Tree Stump Removal Take?
To remove small stumps, it may take a quarter-hour, while to grind larger ones to pulp, they will need to be excavated, cut and ground, which can take up to an hour.

What Are The Dangers Of Leaving A Stump In Place And When Should It Be Removed?
A tree stump left in your garden could cause many problems.
It’s a potentially dangerous obstacle, especially if your children are young as they may trip on it when playing in your garden. It could also pose a problem in terms of liability. You could be held liable if someone injures themselves after tripping over the stump.
Removal of the tree, but leaving behind a stump, does not signify the end of growth. Stumps that are left in the ground may produce new sprouts during the growing period, which can make them more unsightly. With some tree species, roots can continue to grow even after the tree is cut down. These roots could cause cracks to appear in your foundation or interfere with pipes, cables or your septic tanks.
The stump may seem harmless, but it is often 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.
Estate agents will tell you that curb appeal can impact the value of your home by up to 10%. When you sell your home, a tree stump that is visible on your property can make it difficult to get the price desired.

Is stump grinding worth it?
If you want to save money, stump grinding is the better option. Why? Stump grinding is less expensive than stump removal since only the trunk is worked on. It also does not require as powerful equipment and is far less labor-intensive, considering the intricate below-ground root system can be left in place this way.
Is using a stump grinder difficult?
Stump grinders are complicated and dangerous machines that the average homeowner might not be able to handle. Not only are they heavy and unwieldy but stump grinders tend to kick up a lot of debris, which can result in injury to an inexperienced user. If used improperly, they can also cause severe damage to a yard.
How long does it take to grind a tree stump with a stump grinder?
The machine can grind the stump to ground level, or it can grind the stump as low as one foot below ground level to create a hole you can then fill in. Grinding a stump is much faster and more efficient than removing it. The whole process typically takes less than two hours, and doesn't leave much work for afterwards.
How deep should you grind a stump?
Typically we grind the stumps 4 to 6 inches below grade. Roots and the heart of the stump below that will remain. Over time these will rot out and should not be a problem. You may be able to plant small shrubs or grasses directly in the area where we grind the stump.
