Nothing is worse than removing a tree from your property, only to be left behind with a big old stump. Tree stumps can grow fungi, leading to a dangerous environment for you, your family, and your furry family friends. Not only are they a safety hazard, but they are also a nasty eyesore. If you have a stubborn stump taking up space in your yard, call Hill’s Tree Service.

Why You Should Hire a Professional for Stump Grinding 

You may have just gotten a tree removed and decided to keep the stump. A tree stump can be an eyesore, spread decay, invite unwanted pests, and become hazardous to your property and loved ones. Removing a stump can be dangerous, so leaving the stump grinding to the trained professionals is wise. Below are a few reasons why hiring Hill's Tree Service for stump grinding is essential. 


  • Equipment: You will need special equipment when removing a tree stump. Instead of renting a stump grinder and risking more damage, it is best to leave the work to a professional. A professional knows how to operate the equipment and quickly and effectively remove the stump. 
  • Safety: You may think once you have the proper equipment, you can jump right in and start the stump grinding process. The roots could have grown and tangled with plumbing or electrical wires, making the removal more challenging. A professional will assess the stump and find a safe and effective way to begin the stump grinding process. 
  • Aesthetics: Removing a tree stump is essential for the overall look of your property. A professional will ensure the stump is completely removed, allowing you to incorporate other types of landscaping to improve the outdoor space on your property. 
  • Infestation: As wood starts to break down, it will attract various insects such as termites and ants. While you may be thinking it's not a big deal, the infestations can spread to your home or nearby plants. To ensure your neighboring plants and property stay healthy, hire a professional for stump grinding. 

Reasons to Have Your Stumps Removed

Generally speaking, it is pretty obvious why you would want to have stump grinding services. However, aside from them being a complete eyesore to your property, there are a few other things you should consider.


 

  1. Stumps are hazardous: This is especially true if you have children. Avoiding an object sticking out of the ground may seem like an easy task, but for a small child, stumps can go completely unnoticed as your children play. 
  2. Stumps can cause new tree growth: Believe it or not, the roots from tree stumps could potentially cause new sprouts which could actually become new trees or extensive root growth.
  3. Stumps take up precious space:  If you have limited space in your yard, you won't want to waste any on a stump.  Another thing to consider is the roots could jut out and take up even more space, which is a bit more forgiving if you have a beautiful tree occupying that space, not a stump.
  4. Stumps can attract insects:    If you leave a stump in your yard for a long time and it dies/begins to decay, you could potentially have a new attraction for termites, beetles, ants, and other wood-boring pests. If your stump is close to your house this could be a pretty big concern. Have the stump removed and don't give them any extra reason for making their way onto your property!
