Stumps

When deciding if stump removal is the right option for you, here are a few things you should consider:

  • Stumps can pose a tripping hazard. If you have children who often run around in the yard, it can be dangerous to leave a tree stump sticking out of the ground.
  • A decaying tree stump may invite unwanted pests such as carpenter ants, termites, or beetles to take up residence in your yard. This can eventually lead to the infestation of healthy trees and shrubs on your property.
  • A tree stump can also provide a place for fungi to grow. Many species of fungi are poisonous to humans and animals, which puts your children and pets at risk.
  • Stumps take up precious space that can be used for gardening or more interesting landscape features that will improve the aesthetic of your property.
  • Unsightly stumps can detract from the curb appeal of your property and make your yard appear unkempt. This can be a problem when the time comes to sell your home.

Aside from budgetary constraints, there is typically very little reason to keep a tree stump around after the tree has been removed. Our professional and affordable stump removal and grinding service will help you get rid of any unwanted tree stump from your yard.

Roots

Many people believe that once a tree has been felled, root growth will no longer be a problem. However, roots can continue to survive and spread even after the tree and stump have been completely removed. If one of the key reasons you’ve decided to have a tree removed from your property was to prevent damage to the foundation of a nearby building, your troubles are far from over. The only guaranteed way to stop root growth is to have our arborists remove the roots along with the tree stump for you. Our portable stump grinding equipment can destroy any tree roots buried as deep as 3 feet beneath the ground for you.
