Stump Removal<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Although getting rid of a tree stump regardless of the\nactual method used falls under the category of \u201cstump removal\u201d, the term is\nmeant to represent a specific type of tree service. Stump removal, in the tree\nservice industry, is the process of digging up the entire stump and root ball\nfrom the ground. This leaves behind a hole that can be refilled with soil and\ntopped with sod or grass seed, or refilled with a new tree. Many home and\nproperty owners choose this avenue of stump removal because it provides a clean\nslate on their landscape. Keep in mind that because stump removal involves more\ntime, equipment, and labor, it is usually more expensive. So when a clean slate\nis not necessary, stump grinding could be a better option, especially since it\nis also typically cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stump Grinding<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Stump grinding is another method of stump removal that eliminates\nthe sight of a tree trunk. This process is done using a stump grinding machine,\nwhich basically chips away at the trunk until it is level with the ground. The\nleftover wood chips can be used as mulch, organic nutrition for the surrounding\nsoil, or simply cleared away and disposed. However, even though the trunk is\ngone from sight, the roots are still in the ground, which means nothing can be\nplanted or built on top of the surface. This is a great option for those who\nneed to have a hazardous or obstructive tree removed, but do not require a\nclean landscape slate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Natural Option That May Cost Less<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Soil is the most natural, eco-friendly, and organic method for\nremoving tree stumps. The downfall is the amount of time it takes to finish the\njob. Soil ignites the decay process, and overtime, rots the tree stump,\nbreaking it down organically until nothing is left. This process requires years\nto complete. The larger the tree stump, the longer the decay process will take\nto finish. It is not recommended to use chemical stump removers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
