Why You Should Get Rid of a Tree Stump?

Leaving a stump in the ground causes many issues:

Tripping & Safety Hazards – Stumps are dangerous; they are a risk to children, pets, and anyone else who might be walking in your yard.
Pest Infestations – Decay stumps attract termites, carpenter ants, beetles, and other wood-boring insects that may infest healthy trees or even your home.
Regrowth Issues – Some stumps have a tendency to produce new shoots, and this results in tree growth that is difficult to control.
Landscaping Challenges – Stumps are not only annoying; they also pose a challenge when it comes to mowing, planting, or carrying out any other form of yard maintenance, thus restricting how you can use your outdoor area.

Stump Grinding and Removal Services

Stump Grinding – Using our highly effective grinding equipment, the stump is cut into wood chips, and the rest is left to decay in the ground. This process is less time-consuming, less costly, and lets you replace the area with soil or sod.

Full Stump Removal – In some cases, where the stump has to be completely taken out, we loosen and remove both the stump and the roots. This makes it possible to prevent regrowth but it is more labor intensive and requires more machinery.

Before that, our team will identify the location, size, and condition of the stump to suggest the right solution for your property.
