Why Is Stump Grinding An Important Aspect Of Tree Removal

Stump grinding is an important aspect of tree removal for a number of reasons. 

Firstly, stumps can be a tripping hazard in your garden. They can also cause damage to lawnmowers or other garden equipment. When a tree is cut down, the stump is often left behind protruding out of the ground, posing a risk to anyone who walks or works in the area.  Stump grinding completely removes the stump from the ground, eliminating the hazard. 

In addition to being a trip hazard, stumps can home pests and diseases that could spread to other, healthy, plants in your garden. As stump grinding removes the entire stump (even the root system) it can help prevent the spread of diseases in your garden, protecting your plants. 

Maintain the appeal of your garden

Stump grinding is also important for aesthetic reasons. A stump left in the ground can be unattractive, taking away from the overall look of your garden. Furthermore, stumps can take up valuable space in your garden, which could be used for much more appealing things! If you have a small yard and you want to make the most of your space, stump grinding ensures you maximise the space in your outdoor area.

Overall, stump grinding is an essential part of overall tree removal. It helps to eliminate tripping hazards, it prevents the spread of diseases in your garden and improves the look of your garden whilst also freeing up more room for other features or plants.
