TIME FOR THE STUMP TO GO

STUMP GRINDING & REMOVAL | SERVING TRI-CITIES TN

WHY WOULD YOU REMOVE A STUMP?

Eliminating the stumps on your property can drastically improve its appearance. Because most people would not give stump removal much thought, we wanted to go over a few of the benefits:

Regrowth of the tree: Trees are resilient living organisms. When you cut a tree down to a stump, it will use all of its last resources to stay alive. Living roots underground begin to draw water and nutrients to form leaves, which then collect sunlight and begin the process of regrowth. If you want a tree gone for good, you must have the stump properly grinded or removed completely.
Out of the way: Imagine your child is running in the yard, only to trip on the stump and fall. Sometimes stumps are so close to the ground that the surrounding grass and shrubs may mask them. They often are responsible for damaging lawn mowers that go over them accidentally.
No more housing insects: A variety of insects such as termites, worms, beetles and poisonous centipedes, beetles, all find decaying tree stumps to be the perfect homes for them. The last thing you need is for your child to be playing around a stump and be bit by a poisonous bug.
Aesthetics: Unless you are one of the few who would want to save a stump to serve as your chair to sit on, you probably would rather just have them gone for good. Save yourself the back-breaking work of trying to remove them on your own.

The bottom line is that, unless you are looking for an unmovable chair that attracts insects, you probably should have the stump taken care of pronto. Now, there are a ton of "urban myths" and "hacks" on removing stumps, from pouring chemicals on them, to burning them, to yanking them out with a chain and a truck. But the reality is that these "hacks" seldom work. And even if they do end up removing the stump, you are likely left with more damage and a bigger problem than you started with.

There are reasons why stump grinders and other industrial equipment were invented for the sole purpose of taking care of stumps. Save yourself the headache (and the backache) and let a professional team help get rid of them for you.

After your tree is removed and the stump grinding is complete, a flat ground level area of wood chips will remain where the stump once stood. Over the following first few months, the soil and ground will begin to settle and the freshly fertilized area will be ready for planting. You will soon see how well the wood chips serve as natural compost for your newly freed up area.

what if the stump is located near my home or sidewalk?

This is actually common and a job that we handle with extreme caution. Although we may not be able to remove the stump entirely, we will ensure that the tree would not grow back while removing as much of it as possible. It is essential to let a professional tree removal service do this job because they know how far they can go in stump grinding.
