TIME FOR THE STUMP TO GO

STUMP GRINDING & REMOVAL | GREENVILLE, NC

WHY REMOVE YOUR STUMPS?

Removing stumps on your property can greatly improve its overall appearance while making it safe. Let's be honest, removing stumps probably isn't something that you'd want to read about on a Saturday afternoon, so we'll keep it short. We want to share some of the common reasons why you may need a stubborn stump removed:

The tree may grow back: Trees are rather resilient. Chopping down does not necessarily mean it will not recover. Like all living things, trees will use all their energy to extract any nutrients they have access to so they can survive. Living roots running beneath the soil will begin to extract and supply water and other nutrients to branches and leaves, which then use sunlight to reignite the process of regrowth. With that being said, if you want your tree permanently gone, removing their stump left behind is necessary.
They are simply in the way: Picture this, your child is paying tag in your front yard, and accidentally trips over a hidden stump and gets banged up. It is completely preventable and unnecessary. At times stumps lie rather close to the ground and are masked by the surrounding landscape. Because of this, stumps are the reasons behind thousands of damaged lawn maintenance equipment annually that accidentally hit them while performing lawn care.
They house unwanted insects: A variety of insects from termites, to worms, to beetles, to poisonous centipedes among other bugs, all love to make themselves right at home in decaying tree stumps. The last thing you need is your child being bit by a poisonous bug from the stump.
Aesthetics: While some people prefer to keep stumps around to serve as chairs or benches, most people we hear from would rather have their stumps removed for good from their property. Skip the back-breaking work of DIY stump removal and give us a call to remove of your stumps for good.

FAQs

how will the area look after stump grinding is completed?

After your tree is removed and the stump grinding is complete, a flat ground level area of wood chips will remain where the stump once stood. Over the following first few months, the soil and ground will begin to settle and the freshly fertilized area will be ready for planting. You will soon see how well the wood chips serve as natural compost for your newly freed up area.

what if the stump is located near my home or sidewalk?

This is actually common and a job that we handle with extreme caution. Although we may not be able to remove the stump entirely, we will ensure that the tree would not grow back while removing as much of it as possible. It is essential to let a professional tree removal service do this job because they know how far they can go in stump grinding.

will stump grinding damage my property?

If done properly, stump grinding will not damage your property. Although our team is licensed, bonded, and insured, we would rather not ever have the need to rely on that. After a few months, most stump grinding jobs are almost unnoticeable because the surrounding grass will begin to grow over the area.

Will i be left with a giant hole on my property?

While stump removal can result in digging up the stump and leaving a large hole, most of our customers prefer stump grinding in which the stump is grinded into wood chips and mulch that will fill the hole. You will be left with a nice flat area with rich topsoil from the decaying wood chips that act as a natural compost material
