Clearwater tree removal can be a tedious and time-consuming process. The job isn’t done until the tree is removed. It’s now time to think about how to deal with the stump.
Do you put it in the ground or should you cut it? Do you trim it as close as possible to the ground and cover it? Should the stump be removed? Or should it be ground?
Here are some suggestions to help you decide what to do next.
- You may have no problem with the stump initially. As the years go by, it becomes a problem.
- Old stumps of trees can attract insects. Once the tree and stump are separated, the process of decay begins. This can take many years and give insects like termites or carpenter bugs plenty of time to set up shop.
Do You Need to Remove or Grind a Stump
Both removal and grinding have their pros and cons. You can make informed decisions by understanding the details of each process.
Stump removal can be more disruptive because it involves digging into the ground to remove all roots. This can cause significant damage to the area depending on the age of your tree. There is one benefit to this: both the roots and stump are gone.
Stump grinding is less damaging than removing the tree. A powerful machine is used to crush the tree into smaller chips. It’s quicker and more cost-efficient than tree removal, but the roots of the tree can be left intact.
