Tree Stump Hazards

While it may be tempting to leave the stump’s ground alone, abandoned stumps present many issues. The longer a tree stump is left unattended, the longer problems may occur. Issues that may arise from a lingering tree stump include:

Vehicle Damage

Mowing the lawn can become a dangerous chore with a tree stump lying in the way. A larger property where dirt bikes, ATVs, golf carts, and other vehicles are roaming around could sustain damage caused by stumps in the ground. Anyone faces the possibility of harm riding in the way of a tree stump.

Diseases

Tree stumps present another opportunity for bothersome fungi, mildew, and algae to breed. Powdery mildew, anthracnose, oak wilt, and Dutch elm disease are just a few bacterial illnesses that can plague a tree stump. Arbor-related ailments can spread to neighboring trees in little time.

Invasive Pests

In some cases, tree stumps may be home to invasive pests such as insects and even animals. By enlisting the help of a stump remover, you can say goodbye to any unwelcome guests on your property.

Insects like Lymantria dispar (formerly known as the gypsy moth), the hemlock wooly adelgid, and spotted lanternflies are known for their ability to destroy trees. A lingering tree stump may aid these insects in their path to destroy surrounding trees.

Curb Appeal

Appearance is a significant reason for stump grinding. A pesky tree stump can dull a home’s exterior charm or a property’s cohesiveness. Tree removal can open other opportunities for a home, including:

Playsets
Firepits
Gardens
Seating Areas

After a stump removal has taken place, you’ll want to wait at least one month before growing something in its place. Ground trauma and soil generally take four weeks to recover and adapt to new surroundings. After the appropriate time has passed, your new area will be ready for the next project.

Stump removal will additionally boost the value of your property. A tidy yard or tended wooded area adds attractiveness to any home’s exterior. The cost of stump removal pays for itself in added scenic terrain.

How It Works

Stump grinding involves grating the tree stump and removing the root. Then, rotating blades face the stump head-on and erode the leftover tree until it is at the desired height. The length of time it takes to grind a stump depends on the size of the stump and the depth of the root.

Our state-of-the-art technology allows for surface-level and below-grade grinding. Surface-level stump grinding removes the stump and evens out at ground level. Below-grade grinding goes deep into the stump’s root to thoroughly remove the base of the former tree.

In addition to stump grinding, we offer cleanup services. Wood chips and surface-level roots can be removed with our cleanup extension. Let us take care of the entire process so you can enjoy your new hassle-free space!
