STUMP GRINDING AND REMOVAL
Cutting down a tree leaves behind a sturdy stump that is used to anchor the tree. The stump in your yard is a safety hazard as it gets into the way of anyone moving around. Not to mention a stump makes it hard to plant a new tree at the same location.
After a tree is cut, the stump may start to decay. Over time, a rotting stump turns out to be a hub for termites, carpenter ants, or other pests. So as you leave the stump to rot, pests it hosts might spread to other trees or plans in the yard or surroundings or even infest your home. To avoid all these issues, you need to have the stump removed or ground down. That is the only way to evade undesirable outcomes that might make your situation more problematic. It is worth noting that removing the stump is different from grinding it. So what’s the difference? The good thing about grinding is that it is easier and faster compared to stump removal. Many people prefer it because it is not only quicker but also less labor-intensive and cleaner operation than the removal process. If you intend to plant a new tree where the stump is, you should consider using the removal process. This is because the roots left after grinding may not allow the new tree to grow. Whether you’re looking to remove to open your yard or eliminate an unsightly eye-sore, removing a tree or stump on your property by yourself is never a good idea. It is dangerous and can result in property damage if not handled correctly. Leave it to the professionals at Norther Virginia Tree Service to protect your family, house and property when it comes to felling a tree or removing a stump. We will leave your yard looking beautiful and open. STUMP GRINDING VS STUMP REMOVAL: KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? Stump Grinding is a process involving removing involving the stump of the tree without removing the tree's roots. A machine is used to mechanically grinding out the stump and leaving sawdust for use as mulch. Typically stump grinding is preferred as it is easier and less labor intensive than stump removal, it can be ground to any height, and a cleaner operation. The good thing about grinding is that it is easier and faster compared to stump removal. Many people prefer it because it is not only quicker but also less labor-intensive and cleaner operation than the removal process. If you intend to plant a new tree where the stump is, you should consider using the removal process. This is because the roots left after grinding may not allow the new tree to grow. Stump removal, as the name implies, involves removing the stump and the root system from the earth. To do this job perfectly and within a short time, specialized equipment is required. Precisely, there are powerful machines that are designed for this work. They remove every part of the stump together with the roots. In doing so, the machines ensure that the roots do not start to grow again. To accomplish this job, you need a professional. Typically machines that can generate a lot of power are used to remove every part of the stump and roots. This ensures that there won't be growth of roots that are left behind. Stump removal is advantageous because it lessens the possibility of having pests nesting in the area. It gets rid of any tripping hazards and also makes it possible to replant another tree in the same location. Stump grinding, on the other hand, involves removing the stump, excluding its roots. This implies that grinding is less tasking than removing. However, just like stump removal, a machine is needed to do the grinding process. The process involves crushing the stump and thus ending up with sawdust. This process also requires a professional.
