Why Hire a Professional for Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding usually takes place after a tree has been removed for a variety of different reasons such as: construction, disease, or due to invasion. After the tree has been properly removed, the job isn’t necessarily finished. The large stump that is left behind is often unsightly and can cause growth issues for surrounding plants.
Trees come in all shapes, sizes, and densities resulting in a different sized trunk and root system for each tree. No matter the size, stump grinding can be used to remove the stumps from the property. Once the stump is removed, the soil is ready for a new use. If a new planting will be going in, the stump will be ground down a bit further, as deep as 6 to 16 inches, to accommodate the area.
The benefits of professional stump grinding include:
- Increased property value without unsightly, dead stumps.
- Saves you the time and energy.
- It is safer when left to someone with the proper knowledge as to how to tackle the project.
- Makes room for new plantings and landscaping plans.
Stump grinding is a fairly simple process, but can face complex issues, and is better left to professionals for several different reasons:
- Proper planning needs to be laid out. The land needs to be assessed for surrounding plant life as well as utilities on the property.
- The job can be dangerous. Not only is the machinery that is used heavy and powerful; you can run the risk of hitting an electrical system that could have tragic results not only to your home, but yourself.
- You do not want to jeopardize the health of plants surrounding the existing stump.
