Why you should remove a stump
There are a number of reasons why you may want to remove a tree stump on your property.
For starters, they can be an eyesore and even decrease the value of your property. They can be a nuisance, like when you need to cut your grass and a stump is in the way. They can be a dangerous tripping hazard, especially if you have little ones playing in your yard. Plus, they can harbour pests and insects (and even more so when the stump begins to rot).
And ultimately, removing a stump means you’ll have more outdoor space to enjoy. Reclaiming this previously wasted space means you could have an extension of your outdoor living space, more room for your children to roam and play or perhaps even space for a new garden.
Various ways to remove a stump
There are several different ways to remove stumps, and our arborists will work closely with you to determine the best method.
The most common and efficient method of removing a tree stump is through a process called stump grinding. A stump grinder is a tool that removes tree stumps by using a rotating, cutting disk that chips away at the wood. The grinder also goes beneath the ground (usually up to 12 inches underground), so you can be assured that the removal process is thorough.
Equipment for stump grinding can range in size—from about the size of a lawnmower to the size of a small truck. Using a stump grinder is a fast and cost-effective way to get rid of that unsightly tree stump from your property, without causing any damage to the surrounding landscape.
Another method to remove a tree stump is by simply digging it out. With this method, our arborists first dig a deep ditch around the stump, and cut and remove as many roots as possible. Finally, the stump itself is taken out.
A real risk of pesky pests
Once a tree is removed, the stump begins a slow decaying process. Over time, a rotting stump can become a home for unwanted pests. These pests can sometimes spread to other trees and plants on your property, or even invade your home.
Therefore, getting rid of your stump—whether by stump grinding or removal—is the best way to avoid these pest problems. As a homeowner and property owner, you should always ensure that your property is safe, healthy and secure.
