Stump removal​

Stump removal

Grubbing is obviously the removal of a stump. Although the task is easy to describe, it contains more complexity than one might think. This is because it is important to use the proper equipment, namely a stump grinder, and to proceed while respecting environmental imperatives. In addition, if the job is not done properly, a land can quickly be damaged.

Nothing is safer than having the work done. Call us, Emondage Lac-Brome at 579-589-5474 to take advantage of a professional grubbing or our other tree care services

Why stump grubbing​

Sometimes people attribute an aesthetic value to stumps. So they do not hesitate to integrate this relic in a design. Sometimes, real masterpieces emerge. However, despite the deceptive appearances, unpleasant consequences can result from keeping the stump in the ground.

Carpenter ants and other undesirables

Over time, a stump becomes a moist area, which is inviting to insects. This means that at worst, carpenter ants could settle there. These ants do not hesitate to build a whole complex of nests, first a central one, which they surround by satellite nests, at a distance from the main one.
 
If this were to happen, the fact that your stump is far from your home would not completely avoid the risk of finding yourself with a satellite nest nearby. No one wants to experience the damage that can result from the presence of these bugs. Besides, insects of any kind are often attractive to animals, even in the city.

Mushroom

Another possible consequence not to be neglected: mushrooms. They too love humidity. Being hardy is not all fun. If fungi stain your relic, its well-wrought beauty may fade. Our stump grinder can help you avoid this by removing that tree remnant.

Tree regrowth​

Let's not forget that, in the soil, under a stump left in place, there are roots. Their presence is a guarantee of nutrient circulation. Then, shoots will be able to emerge. The stump can even be invaded by them.

This phenomenon can be noticed in the woods. When trees have been uprooted or cut down by man and the stumps are left there, we see shoots that keep on growing. The same thing could happen to you.

It's only a small amount of maintenance, you may say. That's true, but when it's repeated, it becomes annoying. Especially when the time spent can be spent on more useful tasks. So why add an unnecessary item to an already busy property maintenance schedule?

Our tree care service, Emondage Lac-Brome, includes tree removal in its offer. Join us for a free cost estimate.

Space saving and security​

Even if you admit that de-stumping does indeed seem to be the best option, what are the advantages now? The first, and certainly the most obvious, is that by removing the stump, you gain space. You will certainly not dispute that this is a rare commodity; especially in urban areas. A second advantage is the increased safety. There is no longer a risk of running into a stump that has not been seen.

Raising the value of your property  ​

Some people consider a stump to be a sign of a poorly maintained place. So when buyers who think so are canvassing offers, they may disdain yours if you are considering selling and a stump is still there. Not selling for lack of attention would be a disproportionate consequence to removing a stump, wouldn't it?  
 
Among the projects to reclaim the space gained, better than leaving a stump to rot, is to replant another tree, possibly in the same location as the stump removal. Planting trees is also part of our tree care services, as well as one of the factors that enhance the value of a property.

Use chemicals

The use of chemicals is also a way that some people use, unfortunately, to accelerate the decomposition of a stump. This is harmful to the environment. Indeed, it will contaminate your soil and eventually your other plants. These products can also be transported further by runoff. Animals can eat them, or worse, children are at risk of getting them in their mouths. It is also essential to take into account the regulations in force concerning the environmental aspects. You can also avoid such a search and immediately opt for the services of our expertly operated stump grinder.

Using a tractor or excavator

There is still a fairly effective but not without drawbacks: remove your stump with a tractor or a mechanical shovel. But these big motorized machines will have to go over your lawn. They may dig unsightly ruts in your lawn, which you will have to repair. You may have to spread sod or seed. But expert grubbing, using dedicated equipment, is done cleanly. Tree planting
