Why Should I Remove a Stump?

There are many reasons and benefits to removing a stump. Besides being an eyesore on your property, stumps can cause a variety of issues:

1.) Damage to lawn mower or other pieces of equipment.

2.) Safety concerns as stumps can provide tripping hazards for people and pets.

3.) Pests (including termites, ants, rodents, or other wildlife) like to make their homes in old stumps.

4.) Ecosystem health can be effected by unwanted stumps that absorb water and nutrients from other plants.

5.) Structural damage can occur to remaining stumps that are close to foundations, costing thousands of dollars in structural repairs.

6.) Diseases caused by fungi and mold on stumps could spread to other plants or wildlife.

Stump grinding is the number 1 way to safely and effectively remove unwanted stumps to prevent a whole host of issues (above). Stump grinding is less invasive than excavation. Removing stumps via grinding prevents regrowth. Finally, stump grinding provides a quick way to reshape your yard for either aesthetics or other projects.
