Stump & Dead Tree Removal FAQs
Why remove a tree stump?
Removing a tree stump is essential for maintaining safety, aesthetics, and the health of your property. Stumps pose tripping hazards, obstruct lawn maintenance, and can attract pests like termites or harbor diseases that spread to nearby plants. They can also lead to unwanted regrowth, draining nutrients from your landscape. Additionally, stumps take up valuable space and can cause underground root decay, leading to uneven ground. Professional stump removal eliminates these risks, ensuring a safer, cleaner, and more attractive yard.
What is stump grinding?
Stump grinding is the professional and optimal way of removing a stump. Instead of extracting the stump by the roots, we use a machine called a stump grinder that grinds the base below grade, creating small chips.
What are the benefits of stump grinding?
Stump grinding is a non-invasive process that breaks up the main root system, preventing the tree from growing back. The roots will naturally rot out, allowing you to plant shrubs or grasses over the original location.
How much does it cost to grind a tree stump?
Depending on the location of the stump and the type of wood, grinding roughly correlates to $10 per inch of the stump. Contact us for a free estimate!
When should you remove a tree?
You should remove a tree when it poses safety risks, health concerns, or interferes with property use. Specifically, a tree should be removed if it is dead, dying, or diseased, as it can become unstable and potentially fall. Trees with structural issues, such as large cracks, leaning trunks, or weak branches, are also hazardous, especially during storms or high winds. Removal is necessary when a tree’s roots damage sidewalks, driveways, foundations, or utility lines. Additionally, trees growing too close to buildings, obstructing views, or interfering with new construction plans should be considered for removal.
