Stump Grinding
Stumps don't just hurt the aesthetic appeal of your yard, they present actual risks to your property.
If left unaddressed, a tree stump and its roots will begin to decay, attracting pests, fungi, and other organisms over time. Additionally, in some cases roots may continue to grow, exacerbating the issue.
​
Stump grinding is a quicker and less labor-intensive process than complete stump removal. With specialized equipment, the stump can be ground down to below ground level in a fraction of the time it takes to dig out the entire stump and its root system.
​
As opposed to stump removal, no chemicals are used and it does not involve extensive excavation that can damage nearby plants and structures.
Why you should grind your tree stump
Aesthetic Enhancement
Enhance your property's appeal by reclaiming valuable yard space and eliminating unsightly stumps. Reimagining this space with vibrant flower beds or functional seating areas revitalizes your landscape and boosts curb appeal.
​
Pest & Fungi Control
Left unchecked, a tree stump becomes a haven for pests and insects, inviting infestations that can spread to your home and landscape. Carpenter ants, termites, and other pests find refuge in decaying stumps, posing threats to nearby flora and structures. Eliminating stumps can protect your property from costly damage and nuisances.
​
Fungi, such as mushrooms, can also start to grow on tree stumps and from the stump roots, popping up throughout your yard. Depending on the type, these can be dangerous to animals who eat them, such as children and pets. And they can spread and infect other trees nearby.
​
Preventing Regrowth
Unchecked tree stumps can sprout new growth, perpetuating a cycle of maintenance and frustration. Resilient shoots and root systems can thwart landscaping efforts and absorb moisture the rest of your yard is craving. From pipes to pavement, tree roots can infiltrate leading to costly repairs and compromises to your property's integrity. Addressing stump removal early on can mitigate these risks and safeguard your property.
​
Safety Assurance
Beyond their unsightly appearance, tree stumps pose safety hazards to inhabitants and visitors alike. Tripping hazards and potential injuries lurk beneath their surface, particularly dangerous for children at play. Furthermore, navigating around stumps during yard maintenance can be cumbersome and risky. Removing stumps ensures a safer environment for recreation and maintenance activities.
