Stump Grinding & Stump Removal For Harford County and the Surrounding Areas

Once a tree has been cut down, the stump of that tree remains rooted in the ground. In some cases a fallen tree will be uprooted completely and the stump along with the roots come out of the ground leaving a big hole. However there are instances when a dead tree may break towards the bottom and leave the stump rooted in the ground. What may happen is, this stump may regenerate and grow, but in other cases it doesn’t. So a stump removal is essential depending on what you wish to do with the area where the tree once stood.

Removing a stump is no easy feat. It requires an experienced professional who has the right tools to get the stump removed safely and correctly. There are a couple options a professional tree service has when it comes to stump removal. One option is to grind the stump and the other is to simply uproot it from the ground. Doug’s Tree Service is well experienced and have removed stumps of all shapes and sizes for many satisfied customers and he will advise you on which option is best for your tree.

Stump Removal Procedure

Stump removal procedures can be a little more involved than one thinks. For starters, the whole stump along with the root ball of the tree is removed. This is a slightly difficult process and should be handled by experienced stump removal professionals. Usually, the tree and the root ball grow together at the same time. The root ball and roots cannot be seen, but depending on how big the tree grows, you can estimate the size of the roots in conjunction. The root ball expands and grows considerably. You can generalize that the root ball would be about four to ten times the size of a tree. This can make it very challenging and time consuming for a stump removal service.

Stump Grinding Procedures

Stump grinding is another method of removing the tree stump. Once a tree has been cut or leveled where only the stump remains, stump grinding can be a quick and cost effective method of removing the stump. Stump grinding requires special tools and should only be performed by very experienced tree professionals. A stump grinder is used to grind up the stump into very tiny pieces which can be used as ground cover or mulch after the stump is gone. The stump grinder grinds the stump until it is a few inches below the earth. Then dirt is used to cover the area. Eventually the stump will decay and die along with its roots.

Other Stump Removal Options

Two other options that are used in stump removal is the method of drilling holes in the remaining stump and pouring salt or tree stump removal chemicals in those holes. This is supposed to penetrate through the stump and eventually reach the roots of the tree and cause it to finally die. This procedure can take some time before you actually see the stump out of sight. It is not a preferred method but none the less people do this.

Another method used to remove a tree stump is simply burning them. This can be dangerous and cause much more damage to the surrounding area, however this can be done quickly. I guess you have to weigh your options and consider your safety and the safety of your neighbors and hope that the fire department doesn’t come from the large smoke cloud of your burning tree.

Which Stump Removal Method Is Best

Stump grinding is more economical and time saving when you look at every other method of removing a tree stump. Grinding the stump doesn’t leave a big hole in the ground like when removing the root ball of the tree itself. The fact that you can use the previous stump as ground cover or mulch is another plus. You can even lay grass seed and grow grass quickly where the tree once stood. Which ever method you choose, let a professional do it. Doug’s Tree Service is a professional stump removal service and they will handle any stump you need removed.
