Why Hire a Stump Removal Company?
If a pesky tree stump is impeding your property, you may be tempted to reduce or remove it yourself. While it may seem cheaper to perform a DIY project, mistakes and sudden problems may make it more costly and time-consuming. Further, grinding or removing a stump can be dangerous without proper training and experience. Our team has the skills, technology, and equipment to fulfill your services efficiently and securely.
Stump Grinding vs. Removal: Key Differences
Grinding and removal are two ways to reduce a tree stump’s presence and obstruction after removing its tree. Here’s the difference between them and what they will do for your home or business:
- Grinding: During grinding, we use specialized tools and machinery to reduce the stump below the soil’s surface. The broken-down chips can then be used for mulch.
- Removal: With stump removal, we extract the stump from the ground and roots, preventing it from regrowing. This service is ideal for dead or diseased stumps.
The Prime Benefits of Grinding and Removal
Here’s why you should seek professional services for your tree stump:
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Stumps can be an eyesore. After yours is ground or removed, your property will look more refined and beautiful.
- Safety and Security: If you’re worried about tripping and falling or stubbing your toes on the stub, our services will prevent hazards.
- Plant Protection and Growth: Invasive pests and critters like making stumps their home. We’ll help reduce their presence so surrounding plants can grow and thrive.
Do I Need Stump Grinding or Removal?
Deciding between grinding and removal may depend on factors such as the age of the stump’s root system and its size. Grinding usually gets done faster than removal but leaves part of the stump intact. Removal eliminates the stump completely but usually takes longer and costs more. If you’re unsure which to choose, reach out to us. We’ll provide an inspection to determine which service will best suit your needs and an estimate to get you started.
