There are many reasons why people result to getting rid of tree stumps. If ignored, a tree stump decreases the curb appeal and risks the safety of anyone around. When dealing with a tree stump, doing it yourself is a standard option for many, but the reality is that it is never that simple. Due to lack of proper equipment, what seemed like a “slide in slide out” job, ends up being a never-ending task. Contracting the experts at Southern Star Stump, Atlanta, guarantees top-notch tree stump removal services with industry-approved equipment. After a thorough assessment, our experts will recommend either stump grinding or stump removal.
The stump grinding technique requires unique ground saws which shred the tree stump into sawdust or chips. If you want the stump to reach the ground level or below the ground level, stump grinding is the best solution. Some of the benefits to using the stump grinding technique include:
Speed
Stump grinding is considered one of the fastest and most efficient ways of removing stumps. Depending on the tree stump, the entire process takes between thirty minutes to two hours. Our professional team is well trained and equipped, ensuring there’s not much left to do after we are done. Aside from being a fast solution, it leaves you with a pile of sawdust which has several uses around your home.
Minimal Fillings
When you choose to pull a stump out of the ground, you are left with the task of filling in the hole. This is a time-consuming and tedious job, with several aesthetic repercussions if an expert does not do it. On the other hand, stump grinding leaves the root in place and leaves a small or no hole to fill in afterward, making it a preferred option for many.
Stumps tend to be inconvenient and unsightly, which calls for a permanent solution. Stump removal is a method that involves pulling the entire stamp from the ground using various ways depending on the stump. Once we have assessed the stump you want to be removed, our experts will determine the most effective solution. This ranges from the hydraulic jerk, winch, tractor, burning, or chemicals. Stump removal offers several benefits, which include:
Easier Replanting
It is essential to replant after getting rid of a stump, not just for curb appeal but also for a better environment. Since there are no roots, you can fill the hole with rich soil that enhances growth. This technique is preferred if you intend to plant a tree in the same spot as the old one. However, if the previous tree had sentimental value, stump removal is the ideal solution.
Total Elimination
Compared to stump grinding, complete removal opens up your yard for numerous possibilities. Since there are no roots, you can easily install various yard fixtures or replant. However, stump grinding is likely to present several issues in the future, depending on the plans you have for your yard.
