The Importance of Stump Grinding After Tree Removal

Stumped On What to Do with That Old Tree Stump?

After a tree removal a property owner is left with the pesky tree stump. Tree stumps are not only displeasing to look at while they decay but they also provide problems when mowing the grass or even worse: critter infestations. Insects such as carpenter ants, beetles and termites love decaying tree stumps. Certain types of fungi also thrive on rotting wood which can be harmful to the surrounding plants or humans. Stump grinding is an effective solution for property owners who want to enhance the appearance and function of their landscape. After a stump has been ground up, the leftover wood chips make a nice mulch that can be used elsewhere in your garden.
