Stump grinding is the fastest and most efficient method for removing any unwanted stumps on your property. Aside from being an eyesore, undesirable stumps can have a detrimental impact on their surrounding environment. They create unnecessary obstacles which can complicate lawn maintenance by obstructing the path of lawn mowers and creating a trip hazards for foot traffic.

     The rotting wood in tree stumps often attract termites, carpenter ants, and others unwanted pests. These infestations can pose a risk to surrounding plant life and also to a property owner home as well. Additionally, certain fungus growths common in leftover stumps have the potential to spread and infect nearby healthy trees as well, posing an unnecessary threat to the safety of surrounding plant life.

     The root system beneath a stump can continue to grow and expand long after the trees trunk has been cut down and removed. These roots waste your soil nutrition and moisture and often retain the capability to damage pavement or walls or even water lines. This should be considered given that the root system of a tree can potentially grow 3 times longer than its actual limbs and branches.

Trust a Professional

     Stump grinding can be a dangerous endeavor and should be handled by an experienced professional who is well trained to mitigate all of the potential risk factors. The required machinery necessary for stump grinding can be quite unsettling and intimidating for a non-professional, so we strongly recommend that you utilize the services of a certified arborist to get the job done.

     In addition to safety; cost effectiveness can also be an unexpected advantage of hiring a professional rather than attempting to do it yourself. This is because renting the machinery itself can be very expensive for a non-professional doing a one-time job. Not to mention the facilitation of transport for the machinery and the tools along with the disposal of any debris which need to be discarded. While you might be expecting to save money doing it on your own, you could actually end up working harder just to pay more, if you don’t calculate your options carefully.
