Trees may be removed after...
Trees may be removed after being struck by lightning, being downed in a storm, being in a high-risk location, or succumbing to disease/insect damage. Not removing tree stumps after trees are removed creates several hazards, especially in the long term.
Some stumps are not easily seen because of their smaller diameter and lower height. These create tripping hazards and dangers for mowers, trimmers, and people. It can be expensive to repair your mower after hitting a stump, not to mention the medical bills if a family member or friend is injured.
Sometimes, stumps can limit the complete use of your yard. That new patio or garden you plan on installing may not be possible with the stump remaining. Stumps can also change the composition of the soil to the point that it becomes almost impossible to grow new grass and plants.
Other stumps can breed pathogens, fungi, insects, or pests. You certainly don’t want termites or other wood-boring insects to breed in a stump and infest your wood structures (e.g., your house, garage, or outbuildings). And you don’t want snakes, rodents, and other critters that they harbor to harm you or members of your family.
Plus, in some cases, stumps sprout new growth, leaving a group of small trees growing haphazardly in all directions. These become an eyesore.
To avoid any of the above scenarios, it is best to have the stump(s) removed. But what is the best way to have this done?
Using chemicals can contaminate the area and possibly harm your pets or family. Plus, this may take months to years for it to work.
Burning the stump may be a violation in your locale; plus, the fire can extend underground and potentially lead to unexpected damage several feet away from the stump.
Digging out a stump (even a smaller one) can cause physical strain or injury to your body. The doctor bills can cost more than paying to have the stump removed.
Best practice is to have a professional grind the stump for you. Greenbush provides professional stump grinding as one of its many services. We will even grind the major surface roots, remove all of the grindings, level the ground with additional top soil, and plant grass seed as needed.
