So you’ve removed a troublesome tree from your yard quite cost effectively but what about the remaining tree stump? Removing the tree stump attracts further cost and additional skill and equipment required on the arborist’s behalf.
Not all arborists provide stump grinding services.
When you’re searching for an arborist, make sure it’s one who can provide all the services you need, so ensure you ask all the right questions when enquiring.
Northern Beaches Arborist provides not just tree removal services, but stump grinding services in the Northern Beaches geographic region.
Removing the tree stump is important as it frees up the space for planting something else and also removes the stump as a tripping or pest hazard.
Tree Loppers Who Remove Stumps
Sometimes people try to cut costs with tree removal by engaging a tree lopper for tree removal and arborist tree services in the Northern Beaches.
Whilst it might be slightly cheaper, you also need to consider things such as insurance, which some tree loppers do not have. With dangerous jobs such as tree removal and stump grinding services in the Northern Beaches, no one wants on their head the possibility of an accident or the costs associated.
Removing the tree is one thing, but removing the stump may require special knowledge or further skill which some tree loppers may not have, given they’re not certified arborists who have gone through all the appropriate study and practical experience.
Should I Remove The Stump?
When considering removing a tree, you should also think about whether you want the tree stump to remain or to be completely removed by an arborist specializing in stump removal or stump grinding services in the Northern Beaches.
Here are your options:
1. Keep The Tree Stump
Although much more cost effective to keep the stump, you will be left with an unsightly tree stump and you won’t be able to use that area for any other planting or landscaping, so it’s not ideal.
The risk with keeping the stump is that the remaining stump could become a safety hazard.
2. Grind The Tree Stump Down
Stump grinding involves the use of a stump grinding machine which destroys the stump and its root system, permanently removing the tree and avoiding any potential re-growth.
It will cost more to remove the stump than to keep it.
Things To Consider When Removing A Tree Stump
Keep these things in mind when considering tree stump removal:
· Grinding a tree stump leaves a fresh slate for future landscaping
· You can maximise your yard space and create an aesthetically pleasing garden environment, without the unpleasant look of a tree stump
· Stump grinding will prevent the tree from growing back at all
· When you remove the stump you stop the potential for attracting any diseases or pests which can happen when tree stumps are left in the ground
· Any woodchips created from grinding the stump can be used around the garden for other purposes – kill two birds!
· You’ll get a cleaner finish at the tree removal site - a clean finish is always more preferable when considering tree removal
· Some tree stumps are in hard to reach or awkward places like butted up next to fences. Make sure the arborist you hire has experience with tree stump removal in areas with tight or difficult access
Whilst you can hire a tree stump grinder and do the job yourself, it’s important to keep safety as the top priority. If you’ve never operated machinery on a scale like this, it’s probably a job for the professionals.
