The decision to leave stumps in place can be problematic in some 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.
The most economical option is to pay the little bit extra money to have the stump removed along with the tree. Stumps can be very heavy and bulky, and therefore require the appropriate equipment and techniques to remove them.
What Is Included In 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 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 of the tree and its buttress roots is ground down to about 300-mm below the ground surface, allowing for replanting as well as ground preparation for other purposes.
The team will fill in the hole with a combination of wood chips and dirt once the stump has been removed. The ground will now be levelled, allowing you to re-grass the area if you like. Maybe you want to plant another tree type in the newly made hole.
It is easy to add the remnants of your tree stump to your compost or to turn it into mulch. This will help your garden plants, whether you want to fertilise, enhance the texture, or retain water by adding mulch around some of your plant varieties.
How Long Does The Tree Stump Removal Process Take?
It may take up to 15 – 30 minutes to remove a small stump, while larger ones can require an hour or longer to completely cut through, dig out and grind to a pulp.

What Are Some Of The Risks Associated With Leaving A Stump Behind And When Should You Remove It?
It can cause you a lot of trouble if you do not remove the tree stump.
First, it can be a dangerous obstruction, especially for small children who might trip and fall while playing. The stump can also cause a liability problem. 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 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 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 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 affect the integrity and value of your home and have an adverse affect on your plant life.
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.
