Did you know that ground stumps need to be completely covered over with soil? This is because any part of the stump that's still exposed can potentially become a tripping hazard or may even destroy equipment such as lawnmowers.
Tree stumps can be removed at any time during the year, but tree pruning should be done in winter or early spring to avoid disease.
If you consistently have problems with a tree’s roots clogging your home’s pipes, cracking your driveway, or damaging your home’s foundations, we can help correct the problem. We will safely cut and remove problem roots without damaging the tree itself.
Fill the hole the stump leaves behind with topsoil and grass seed if desired. Be sure to water the dirt down several times before planting grass seed. This will help prevent the soil from sinking.
Pulling stumps, besides being exceptionally difficult, can cause expensive damage to your yard and home. If all of the roots are not severed, they will create havoc with the areas they pull from. Grinding is the safest and more economical choice.
One of the benefits of stump grinding is that, once the stump has been ground up, the roots will break down quickly as well. In contrast, roots that are still attached to a stump last much longer and can get in the way of replanting, whether it’s shrubs, flowers, or another tree.
