Stumps left untreated can be more than eyesores. They can create problems for your property. They can attract insects such as termites, and become a hideout for snakes. They can be physical hazards. And they just take up space. Southeast Tree & Stump stump grinding services allow you to avoid the downsides of untreated stumps.
What is Stump Grinding
Grinding is a technique we use to remove tree stumps from the ground. We use a specialized machine that cuts the stump into wood chips. This is usually sufficient to remove the stump from above the ground and provide benefits for the property owner.
Stump Grinding vs Stump Removal
Stump grinding is a type of stump removal. But it is not a full root extraction, which is a more complex procedure. Most stumps require only grinding. Full stump removal is required in situations involving construction, root interference in underground utilities, preventing disease, and in some cases preventing regrowth of the tree. Our certified arborist will help determine when tree removal is required.
Why Stump Grinding or Removal is Necessary
- Property Damage : Tree roots can continue to grow underground, potentially causing damage to sidewalks, driveways, foundations, and other structures. Trees can also regrow. Stump removal eliminates the root system. Grinding kills the root and removes the above-ground part of the stump.
- Tripping Hazards : Exposed stumps pose a tripping hazard for anyone visiting your property. Grinding removes the stump from above ground. This leaves a safer and more enjoyable outdoor space.
- Pests : Stumps attract rodents, insects, and other unwanted pests, such as snakes and termites. Grinding eliminates a potential breeding ground and discourages pests from taking up residence on your property.
- Unusable Land : A large stump takes up valuable space. It limits your landscaping options and interferes with other projects. Stump grinding frees up space for new trees or landscaping or new construction projects.
