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.
When a tree is being felled, it makes economic sense to pay a little bit extra to have the stump removed at the same time. Stumps can be very heavy and bulky, and therefore require the appropriate equipment and techniques to remove them.
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 capable of cutting both above and below ground, so the stump can be removed with minimal disruption to the landscape.
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.
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.
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 Will It Take To Remove A Tree Stump?
The removal of small stumps can take as little as a quarter of an hour, but larger ones could require up to an hour or more to be completely cut through, excavate and grind to a pulp.

What Are Some Of The Risks Associated With Leaving A Stump Behind And When Should You Remove It?
The consequences of not removing the tree stumps from your garden can be many.
It’s a potentially dangerous obstacle, especially if your children are young as they may trip on it when playing in your garden. The stump can also cause a liability problem. 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. In the growing season, stumps that have been left in the ground can produce new shoots, making them even more unsightly. With some tree species, roots can continue to grow even after the tree is cut down. These roots can spread silently toward your foundation and cause cracks. They may also interfere with water lines, underground cables, or a sewer tank.
Tree stumps may appear benign at first glance, but upon closer inspection they are 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 have a negative impact on your plants as well as compromise the integrity and value of your property.
Estate agents will tell you that kerb-appeal can influence the market value of your home by as much as 10%. Tree stumps on your property may make it harder to sell your house for the price you’d like.

Stump Grinding Services Frequently Asked Questions
Is it necessary to stump grind?
While having the stump ground is not always necessary, many people prefer to deal with the stump at the same time as having the tree removed. Stump grinding allows the property owner to use the area where the tree once stood for laying sod or planting a flower bed.
How effective is stump grinding?
Stump Grinding Takes Care of Tree Roots: You might assume that stump grinding would allow your tree to re-sprout again, since the roots are left behind. However, by grinding the stump all the way down, we are able to effectively eliminate any chance that unwanted tree will grow back.
What are the cons of stump grinding?
Root Decay. After stump grinding, the roots are also chopped up. This can lead to decay and fungus growth in the remaining wood. If you have plans to replant the area where the stump was removed, this could be a problem.
What happens if you don't grind a tree stump?
Decay and Disease Spread Tree stumps and their root systems will rot and decay over time. Fungi or mold that grows on the stump can be dangerous to your family's health. The rotting root system may also spread disease and infection to other trees or plants in your yard, leaving you with a barren, zombie garden.
Will the stump grow back after grinding?
The answer is yes – trees can grow back if the stump is left in place. While stump grinding presents less of a risk of regrowth, the roots are still left in place and can produce sprouts that may eventually grow into a tree.
