STUMP GRINDING &
REMOVAL SERVICE
Although stumps can be left in the ground after tree felling, the decision to leave them in situ can, in some cases, be problematic. It’s not just their unsightly nature and potential obstruction of future landscaping projects; the likelihood of the stump forming new shoots and possibly spreading root diseases such as honey fungus needs to be taken into account.
Paying that little bit extra for stump removal at the same time the tree is felled often makes the most economic sense. Of course, stumps are often large and heavy and as such require the right equipment and techniques to be successfully removed. Bruns Wick Stump and Grind own four specialist stump grinders – two of which are tracked to allow for jobs where access is across rough terrain and our smaller grinder is perfect for hard-to-reach stumps where access is limited. Our arborists receive regular update training on the best stump removal techniques and how to minimize ground disturbance to leave a completely clear patch of ground where the tree once stood.
All sites are Cable Avoidance Tool scanned for underground services prior to works commencing and adequate guarding is put in place around machinery to protect people and property. Clients can choose to have the grindings back filled into the ground as they make a very good mulch product.
Here are some more good reasons to call for Brunswick Stump and Grid in Brunswick:
A STUMP IS AN EYESORE
People pay a lot to have landscaping services keep their yard looking beautiful. It’s a shame to undermine all the expense and effort with a rogue tree stump. Removing it will restore visual and aesthetic order to your property.
TREE STUMPS ARE A POTENTIAL LIABILITY
One of the best reasons to call Brunswick Stump and Grid is because leaving the stump in place creates a potential liability problem. If someone trips over the stump and injures themselves they might be able to make a case that you were negligent to leave it in place.
STUMPS TAKE UP MORE SPACE THAN YOU THINK
A tree stump doesn’t just take the area of the stump itself out of commission, it also makes it nearly impossible to make use of the area around it. Even a smaller stump affects a large area. Brunswick Stump and Grid will return your full yard to you.
TREE STUMP ROOTS REMAIN ACTIVE
Removing a tree and leaving a stump does not necessarily signal an end to root activity. With some species of tree, the roots continue to grow after tree felling. These roots can quietly spread toward your foundation causing cracks, or they may interfere with water pipes, below ground cables or a septic tank.
