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 quite heavy and big, so the right tools and techniques are needed to successfully 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’s ability to cut above and below ground means the stump can be removed without causing any damage to the surrounding area.
The stump and buttress roots of the tree are ground down to around 300 mm below ground, which allows for replanting or ground preparation for just about any other purpose.
After the stump has been taken out, the team will fill the hole in with a combination of dirt and wood chippings. When the hole has been filled in, the ground will be levelled so that you can grass it if you like. Maybe you want to plant another tree type in the newly made hole.

In the growing season, stumps that have been left in the ground can produce new shoots, making them even more unsightly. In some cases, even after a tree is felled, its roots can continue to grow and spread. These roots could cause cracks to appear in your foundation or interfere with pipes, cables or your septic tanks.
It may look like a harmless stump, but when you take a closer glance it can be 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 could compromise your property’s integrity and value as well as negatively affect your plant life.
