When a stump is left after cutting the tree, there are unwanted plants sprout up such as weeds that grow around it and absorb the water and nutrients in the soil. It can be damaging to the nearby valuable plants who are left with very few nutrients for proper growth. It is also very appealing to insects and rodents.

Disposal Methods
There are different ways to remove tree stumps. It still depends on the situation or the kind of environment that the stump is in, to determine the best possible way to remove it. One of our most commonly used methods and area of expertise is stump grinding. We use specialized machines that grind them away.
There’s also the option of using chemicals, which will accelerate the process of natural tree decay. However, it may take many months or years before the it’s fully gone, leaving your children or pets at risk for the entire tree rotting period. It may be great for removing a large number of them but there is a risk of soil contamination so it is not really recommended by experts.
Using grinders is still the better option for homeowners who want their stump to disappear right away. We have the removal tools such as a chainsaw, trunk grinder, cutter, and other job specific machines and equipment. Hiring a professional tree service company is the best way to deal with your leftover stump. It helps you save time and money, and it is a more cost-effective solution.
