Stump Removal
Tree stumps are unsightly, create trip hazards, and rob nutrients from the surrounding soil. They can also harbour pests and diseases. Stumps may also attract and encourage the growth of invasive plants such as weeds, mushrooms, or fungi.
Stumps can be removed by digging or chemical treatments to speed up natural decomposition. However, these methods take a lot of time and effort. They also require specialised equipment. Hiring professionals to remove your stumps is a smart option, as they have the proper machines and tools for completing this task safely and quickly.
A professional will use a grinding machine to grind the stump into small pieces. This eliminates trip hazards, simplifies lawn mowing operations, and is much easier to clean up than digging out. In addition, it prevents the regrowth of new stumps and roots. It also reduces the risk of future infestation by wood-damaging insects such as carpenter ants and termites.

Stump Grinding
Stump grinding involves using a machine to grind down the stump until it is about 6 inches below ground level. This makes it easier to replant in that area and removes a potential fire hazard. The resulting wood chips can be used to fill in the hole or worked into gardens and landscaping.
Removing a tree stump can be complex, requiring heavy equipment and extensive digging to dig out the root system. It is a job best left to the professionals as it can be dangerous for inexperienced homeowners to try and take on themselves.
Stump grinding is also quicker and more cost-effective than digging out the stump with an axe or manually cutting it out. It takes a fraction of the time to grind down a stump and leaves behind a smaller pile of wood chips that can be used in many ways. It also helps prevent insects like termites, carpenter ants, and wood bees from residing in the rotting stump that can eventually spread into healthy trees or your home.
Stump Mulching

Leaving a stump in the ground can be an inviting place for critters, and it can also be expensive to fill in the hole it creates. Using a stump grinder can help you avoid these problems and give you the space to plant flowers, gardens or even a new tree in that spot.
The wood chips left after the stump grinding process can be used to make mulch. It’s a great alternative to compost and can be applied in flower beds or around trees and shrubs. It prevents soil heat loss, moistens the ground and stifles weed growth. It’s also more effective than shredded bark and provides a more diverse array of nutrients. Most professional stump grinding services allow customers to keep the mulch-ready wood shavings and wood chippings for free.
Stump Cleaning
Stumps are unsightly, trip hazards and interfere with the beauty of your garden. They also serve as shelters for pests like termites and ants, drawing moisture and nutrients away from surrounding areas. They can even become a home for invasive weeds and fungus.
Digging out stumps is a messy and labour-intensive process that requires shovels and digging tools. Chemical treatments are another option, but it can take years to obliterate the stump and can be dangerous for children and pets who may stumble upon it.
