Why call a professional for stump removal or stump shredding

Before we get into why you should call a professional for your stump removal and stump grinding needs, let’s take a look at what these services entail.

 

Stump removal involves extracting not only the stump but also the roots attached to the stump. If  the roots of the stump you are trying to remove spread throughout your property, you could end up ruining a large part of your garden.

Stump grinding
Grinding down a stump is a simpler process. It involves using a stump grinder to chip away at the  remaining tree until there are no more. The roots are not damaged during this process.

What is the difference between stump removal and stump grinding?
Stump removal is a much more complex and time-consuming process than stump grinding. You  need specialized, durable equipment like the Bobcat. On the other hand, stump shredding is done  using stump shredders, which are lighter equipment.

 

Removing a stump can cause damage to your garden while the roots are removed, but breaking the stump will cause it to fall to the ground and not damage the rest of your property. This makes stump removal more useful on construction sites, and stump destruction is good for existing buildings and homes.

 

Stump removal is more expensive than stump grinding, primarily due to the time and equipment involved.

The biggest thing that stumps removal and stump shredding have in common is that they must be performed by professionals who are arborists trained in tree planting, restoration and maintenance.
