If you have a tree stump sticking out in your garden, what would you do? Perhaps you just had a dead tree cut down and taken away, and you are left to deal with the stump that is left behind. Maybe you'll choose to ignore it like other people thinking "it's just a stump, why bother?" while there are some who will go out of their way and disguise the tree stump and turn it into a lawn ornament, thanks to all the DIY and how-to videos and articles proliferating the internet. There are people too, who will take matters into their own hands thinking that a few whacks of their axe and setting it on fire will solve the problem.
Many unsuspecting homeowners do not realise the inherent danger that a seemingly harmless tree stump can bring. Here are some of the top reasons why you have a tree stump removed permanently by a professional.
- Tree stumps are a safety hazard. You kids might accidentally collide with it and cause serious injuries. You may also accidentally hit a stump with your lawnmower which of course, will cause unnecessary expenses to have the damage fixed.
- Tree stumps can turn into a health hazard. Stumps can attract pests such as termites and other pesky insects in your yard. Fungi, moulds and other disease-spreading organisms can also thrive in a decaying tree stump which not only can infect the healthy plants in your garden.
- It reduces the value of your property. No amount of DIY and "hiding" can change the fact that tree stumps are ugly. They simply do not belong in your garden because stumps make your garden look unkempt. They also take up precious space where you could have placed a new picnic table for your weekend barbeque or perhaps grow a new plant in that same spot.
- It makes your gardening tasks a real pain. Who would have thought that a tree stump can turn lawnmowing and weeding into a back-breaking job? It is rather difficult to maneuver a lawnmower around a stump plus there's a considerable risk that you may damage your mower.
- Tree stumps can cause damage to your property. Did you know that tree roots can still grow even after the tree has been cut down? These roots can grow aggressively around pipes causing them to crack and leak. If the stump is near your house, the roots can ultimately damage your floors which will definitely have you digging into your pockets to fix the damage.
- Tree stumps can still sprout. Guess what? You have a zombie in your garden! You think that stump is dead because you've cut down the tree, well think again. Stumps can still shoot a new growth and before you know it, the tree you once had cut is back again, alive and flourishing. So, if you do not want a zombie in your yard, call us at 07 5555 5555 to get that tree stump removed once and for all.
Think you can remove a tree stump on your own? Here are ways that you can do so:
- Use chemicals to help decompose the stump. There are chemicals that are commercially available such as rock salt and potassium nitrate. You can purchase these chemicals to help speed up the decomposition of the tree stump. The downside of this process is that it will also contaminate the area where the stump once was, leaving you with a dead zone.
- Excavation. If you are dealing with just a stump of a small shrub, then this would be the perfect solution. However, if you want to get rid of a large stump, trying to do it on your own might be too difficult. The root system of a large tree can be huge; you will need excavating equipment to do the job. However, excavating machines are expensive, and because of their size (they are huge and heavy), excavating machines may do more damage than good as they will literally leave a "mark" that will ruin your lawn.
- Burning the stump. Among all the methods out there, this is something we do not recommend. Tree stumps tend to be moist so getting them to dry to burn properly will take quite a while. You'll probably have your entire neighbourhood complaining about the smoke before you have that stump burned to the ground.
The best way to get rid of an unsightly tree stump without all the hassle on your part is to hire a professional who is experienced and equipped in handling power grinding tools. Our team takes pride in providing quality service with you in mind. We clean up after our work is done and we are mindful of the surrounding plants and trees in your garden so you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the beauty of your own garden.
