Stump Grinding and Removal

At Wake Forest Tree Removal, the majority of the services that we provide are intended to keep your trees strong and healthy, or for the removal of trees which represent a risk for you or the rest of your property, but we’re also capable of handling tree stump grinding and removal procedures as well. Many people don’t realize it, but tree stumps can actually have a significant detrimental effect on your property’s outdoor spaces. It’s entirely possible that the reason your yard is suffering and not up to scratch is because of the presence of a decaying tree stump. If you care about getting your outdoor spaces into the best possible condition, this isn’t a service you can afford to ignore. Read on below and you’ll discover more about the problems tree stumps represent, and just how we work to remove them.

Potential Problems

We’ve already spoken a little about the dangers of tree stumps, but what are the specific issues that they can cause when they’re left to their own devices? One of the more significant threats is that of root disease. Tree stumps are a wonderful location for root diseases to crop up, and then spread across the rest of your outdoor environment. The same is true of suckering – where fungal growths shoot up from the base of your tree stump, before sprawling out across the area. Both of these can affect the health and visual quality of your outdoor spaces, and they’re much harder to remove than they are to keep out in the first place.

Stump Grinding

So, how do you keep your yard from getting damaged by pesky risks like this? One of the ways that you can get ahead of the problem is by using a stump grinding service. This is where we use a mechanical grinder to attack the main root plate of the stump, grinding it down to a fine sawdust residue. Once the main root plate is defeated, we’ll have a much easier time dealing with the rest of the tree stump. Additionally, the residue that is left over on the surface is nutritious for the surrounding soil.

Stump Removal

Of course, stump grinding only removes the stump up to surface level, which means the structure and root system in the soil is still going to be there, and that represents a small risk. If you want a more complete eradication of the tree stump, our removal service is what you need. Strong machinery will tear the stump from the ground, completely removing it from the environment. This is a more destructive process, however, so you’ll need to bear that in mind when you make your choice.

Fresh Potential

There’s reason enough already to get rid of a tree stump because of the negative impact that it can have on your outdoor space, but if you need further persuasion, consider the newfound potential of your space once the stump is removed. New land is available for planting new trees, plants, or turf, and you can even consider building new constructions on it as well.
