Why Remove a Stump?
Tree stumps might seem harmless, but they create a variety of problems for homeowners and property managers:
-
Tripping Hazards
Especially dangerous for kids, pets, and lawn equipment. -
Insect & Pest Attraction
Decaying wood invites termites, carpenter ants, and other unwanted pests. -
Lawn Maintenance Issues
Mowing and landscaping around stumps is inconvenient and time-consuming. -
Unwanted Regrowth
Some species will sprout new shoots from the remaining stump, creating ongoing problems.
Stump grinding is the most effective way to eliminate these issues without damaging the surrounding yard.
