What is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding is the most common way to get rid of stumps left behind after tree removal. During this process, a stump is ground down to a level several inches below the surface, but the roots are not removed. The roots will, in most cases, die over time. But, in the meantime, this frees up the space formerly occupied by the stump for new landscaping, flowerbeds, small shrubs, and other additions.
There are some setbacks to stump grinding. Because the roots are not removed completely, there is a small chance the old tree will begin to grow back. Stump grinding also makes it difficult to plant a new tree in the same exact location as the old one, as the old tree’s root system will prevent a new one from growing.
Full stump removal is possible, but quite invasive because the roots must be removed. Most people opt for stump grinding in Tulsa because it does not require major excavation or the use of chemicals. Stump grinding also produces a substantial amount of mulch, which is perfect for use as fertilizer.
Why Stumps Should Be Removed
You may wonder why a stump needs to be ground or removed from your property. After all, can’t a project like this wait now that you’ve removed the trees that were safety hazards? Unfortunately, stumps themselves can become threats to your well-being as well. In fact, they have the following problems:
- Stumps can attract pests, like insects.
- They become trip hazards.
- Stumps are often unsightly, especially if they are all over your yard.
- They may develop mold, mildew, or other growths which can trigger those with allergies or asthma.
- They are difficult to navigate around when performing yard work.
- If you live in a community with an HOA, you may be required to pay fees if you do not remove stumps in a timely manner.
- If the stump is diseased, that malady could pass on to other trees in your yard.
