Although stumps are often left in place after tree removal, they can pose a problem in certain cases. 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 is the process of removing a tree stump after the tree has been cut down. Removing the stump can be done with either hand tools, or by using mechanical machinery like a stump grinder.
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 A Stump Grinding And Removal 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’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 are ground to a depth of around 300mm, which is sufficient 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. The ground will now be levelled, allowing you to re-grass the area 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.
How Long Does The Tree Stump Removal Process Take?

What Are The Dangers Of Leaving A Stump In Place And When Should It Be Removed?
The consequences of not removing the tree stumps from your garden can be many.
It can be a dangerous obstacle for children to play in the garden, especially if they are small. 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.
The growth of a tree is not stopped by removing it and leaving the stump. Stumps that are left in the ground may produce new sprouts during the growing period, which can make them 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.
The stump of a tree may seem benign, but a closer inspection will reveal that it’s anything but. Tree stumps could harbour termites or ants as well as other insects such as wood-boring beetles and other insects, which, in no time, an infestation would have taken place. 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 curb appeal can impact the value of your home by up to 10%. You may not be able to sell your home for the desired price if there is a visible tree stump.
