Stumps can be troublesome

Leaving stumps to rot in the ground can be troublesome to property owners and residents.

Many tree services do not bother removing the stump, they leave it in the ground to rot, they will not even try to grind the stump.

Stumps do not actually die when left in the ground, as they have a vast root system. The roots not only absorb all the nutrients from the other plants in your garden keeping the stump alive, but also causes a breeding ground for disease, fungus and rodents.

The root system of stumps continues to grow underground causing damage to property. Root systems can get very big, causing your pavement to lift or crack. Completely removing the stump is the best thing to do, causing less headaches in the long run. 

Stump removal vs stump grinding 

Our team of professionals do not use chemicals to remove tree stumps as this is not good for the environment and neither do we use digging bars. We use stump grinders to extract the tree and kill the roots. To break down the stump into fresh wood chips we use a strong piece of equipment with tungsten teeth to grind down the stump.

The procedure we use to remove a tree stump

When the tree is removed, the stump grinder is brought on site. The grinders teeth are set over the tree stump and then the process of stump grinding begins. The wood is broken down by the machine and turned into mulch which is good for your garden. The depth for the machine, to ensure that the stump will die off, will be determined by the tree surgeon. Once the job is done all the debris and large pieces of waste and materials will be removed from the site. The mulch will be used to fill up the hole, leaving the property in a better condition.
