After a tree has been removed, there is still the issue of a stump remaining in or below the surface.

These can start as a minor nuisance, but over time tree stumps can become a major problem for the nearby area.

Apart from looking unsightly, taking up space that could be better utilised, and being a trip hazard to passersby, old stumps can also contaminate nearby soil. If not removed, over time they can start to rot which can affect the ground. As they start to deteriorate they can also attract insects like ants, termites and other unwanted pests.

If a tree stump is creating problems in your outdoor space, then you need a professional stump grinding service, and we have stump grinding machines to suit almost every site.

By removing old tree stumps, you get the chance to modernise and build new outdoor spaces or gardens, have more room to play with the kids, and have more room for friends in a cleaner more aesthetic area.

• A removed tree may still have a section that is immersed in soil concealed from sight.
• Often, it is a mandatory task after tree removals (for example for trees removed from footpaths).
• If the stump is not discarded in time, it may begin decaying and can simply become a home for termites, ants and other insects.
• Stumps can obstruct paving, landscaping or development projects.  Stumps that are left also allow chances of tripping and injury, to kids and adults.
• With the right tools and machinery, stump grinding prevents unwelcome herbage growth, plant and soil disease and termites.

Ask any certified landscaper or arborist, and most will tell you the same thing. A leftover stump should be uprooted as quickly as possible.

Here’s why:

1. It Poses Safety Hazards – Children, especially, can trip over stumps when playing and running around.
2. It Attracts Pests – Protect your building’s infrastructure by getting rid of residual stumps from felled trees. These are like magnets for wood-boring pests, including termites and carpenter ants.
3. It Leeches – The surrounding garden you tend to so carefully is sharing precious minerals and nutrients with that seemingly harmless stump.
4. It Contaminates Other Tree Life – If the stump is diseased, the condition could spread to other tree life within close proximity.
