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 stump removal refers to the removal of a left-over tree stump. The stump can be removed using either hand tools or, in most cases, mechanical machinery.
It makes more economic sense to pay that extra bit for stump removal when you are removing 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 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 can cut both above ground and underground, meaning that the stump is removed with the least amount of disturbance to 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. When the hole has been filled in, the ground will be levelled so that you can grass it if you like. Or perhaps you’d like a brand new tree to be planted in that newly created hole.
Add the remnants of your stump to your compost bin, or, turn it into mulch. Both are ideal for your garden plants needs. Whether you’re looking to improve your soil texture or water retention, spreading mulch on your plants will do the trick.

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 can be a dangerous obstacle for children to play in the garden, especially if they are small. Also, it can cause liability issues. Someone who trips and falls on the stump could claim that you were negligent in leaving it.
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. In some cases, even after a tree is felled, its roots can continue to grow and spread. These roots can spread towards your foundation, causing cracks, or they can interfere with below-ground cables, water pipes, or even your septic tank.
The stump of a tree may seem benign, but a closer inspection will reveal that it’s anything but. Tree stumps may harbour ants, termites, wood-boring beetles and other insects. It would not be long before an infestation was in full swing. This can cause damage to your property and have an adverse effect on your plant life.
Estate agents say that curb appeal has a 10% to more impact on the market price of a house. You may not be able to sell your home for the desired price if there is a visible tree stump.
