Stump Grinding

STUMP GRINDING

After every tree removal job, there will always be a  tree stump remaining.

A lot of the time, the lower quality Arborist businesses will remove the tree and leave the stump in the ground, however, that’s not what you’ll get when you work with Andersen’s Tree Services. 

We take pride in our work, and always go the extra mile to ensure our customers are 100% satisfied with our services, which means we will always give you the option of removing the stump.

Not only are tree stumps displeasing to the eye, but they can also take up a lot of space on a property and can be a major tripping hazard.

The best way to remove a tree stump is to grind it down below the surface.

THE PROCESS

Grinding down a tree stump prevents it from growing back, creates more space on the property and prevents the stump from attracting pests or diseases.

The process of stump grinding essentially destroys the stump and kills the underlying roots. 

We have a range of stump grinding machines that allow us to quickly and efficiently remove tree stumps of any size and difficulty. The machines use a rotating disc covered in sharp teeth to grind the stump down into mulch. 

Once we have successfully ground down the stump, we will clean up the area, leaving it in better condition than we found it.

Stump Grinding, the Favourable Option for Removing Tree Stumps

Stump grinding is the process of getting rid of a tree stump that remains after a tree has been cut down or collapsed. The stump grinder’s blade has sharp teeth that cut into the wood of the stump, reducing the wood to chips until the stump is well below ground level. These resulting wood chips are known as mulch which can be used in your garden beds to provide a protective layer from weeds, add nutrients to the soil, and trap moisture, therefore, reducing the amount of watering required. Andersen’s Tree Services will efficiently remove tree stumps and improve the state of the ground with the resulting mulch.

Problems Tree Stump Removal Addresses

Although a tree stump can add some character to your garden, it is not always best to leave it. It can happen that the tree will begin to grow again, which defeats your prior expense and effort to have it cut down. The stump can take up space in your garden and could lead to a hospital visit if accidentally tripped over. Removal is the favourable option for you and the environment.

  • You run the risk of damaging or breaking your lawnmower on a remaining stump, resulting in additional expenses to repair or replace it. 
  • The roots of the stump can use the nutrients in the soil which are needed by the surrounding plants that you want to grow. Removal of the stump will resolve this problem.
  • Tree stumps can start growing fungi which can be harmful to children and small pets and eventually decay. A decaying tree stump becomes the home of many pests, organisms, fungi, and diseases that are harmful to the surrounding plants, animals, and humans. Stump grinding is one of the preferred methods of getting rid of all these issues.
