Why You Need to Completely Remove the Stump
No tree stump removal is complete without taking out the stump too. That is because a leftover stump can affect your yard’s health. Here are some ways an old tree stump can negatively impact your yard and home.
Prevents surrounding plants from receiving nutrients
Can damage your property or equipment
Tangles in other plants’ roots
Decreases your home’s curbside appeal
Attracts unwanted pests and parasites
Be a tripping hazard for members of your household
If your old tree stumps are causing you issues in your yard, then it’s time to remove them. Our stump grinding services in St. Petersburg offer quick and efficient removal so your yard can continue to be a relaxing oasis for you and your family.
Dangers of DIY
It might be tempting to remove your leftover stumps yourself to save time and money; however, this can end up costing you more. A stump grinder has a very large, powerful rotating blade. If you rent a stump grinder, you need experience and certain safety precautions to ensure you don’t hurt yourself or others.
There are other DIY options you can also try, but they can take a long time or endanger other plants in the surrounding area. You can try to accelerate decomposition with a chemical solution or by applying salt, but this can harm other plants or attract pests. This method also takes years to have an effect and requires lots of effort. You could also try burning the stump, but we advise against this as you could start a wildfire or burn yourself or someone else.
Stump grinding is the safest and most effective for removing leftover stumps. Trust a professional to take care of your landscaping needs and save time and money in the process. Contact us to get your free estimate on our stump grinding services.
How We Remove Your Leftover Tree Stumps
No matter the size of your tree stumps, or the amount, we can take care of it with our tried-and-true stump removal methods.
Begin With a Consultation
Before we start stump grinding, we first survey the area. While we are at your property, we will mark the stumps or trees you’d like us to remove, along with any underground utility lines. Once we have a layout of the land, we will give you a free estimate of our stump grinding services in St. Petersburg.
Our Stump Grinding Process
On the day of your appointment, you can expect our experts to show up on time with our top-of-the-line-equipment and safety gear. Here’s what comes next with our stump grinding services.
To start, we make sure the area is safe by removing all obstacles and debris. A misplaced rock or twig may get caught in the wheel, or fly up and hit the operator or someone nearby.
Once the area is clear, we level the stump with a chainsaw. The closer the stump is to the ground, the better, as it makes it easier and faster to grind down the stump.
When the stump is leveled, we can then begin stump grinding. A stump grinder is a special machine with a strong rotating blade designed to cut through wood. Our operator lowers this blade into the stump and moves it side-to-side, then back and forth, turning the stump into mulch.
We continue grinding until the stump is below ground level. The depth depends on the size of the stump, but it’s generally four to sixteen inches below the surface.
Once we finish stump grinding, we clean the area. You can use the leftover wood pieces as mulch, or we can till them into the soil.
All that’s left is to fill the hole with soil and add soil or seed to the top. Now you can grow something new in its place.
How Your Yard Benefits
Once your leftover stumps are gone, you can expect your yard’s health to improve over time. Since the roots depend on the stump to receive their nutrients, they will die out now that it’s removed. As they decompose, they release nutrients into the soil, which will benefit the surrounding plants. As a result, you can enjoy new growth in the area.
