Why stump grinding?  

It is easy to think of a stump as a picturesque feature on a property, but the most obvious problem with a stump is the risk of bumping into it and falling. It can happen to children, and it can happen to adults too. You could be embarrassed if you have a bigger accident, leading to potential conflicts or other unpleasantries. The second problem is that for many people, a stump left on a property represents poor maintenance. Stay away from these problems and trust our Kirkland tree service arborists with this task.

Carpenter ants and other such intruders  

Carpenter ants found in a stump in Kirkland after a stump grinding job done by Emondage Kirkland.
A stump is an irresistible invitation for carpenter ants. They will appreciate the place for their nest. Moreover, they will continue to construct nests a considerable distance from the vicinity of the tree stump. This poses the risk of carpenter ants entering your home afterwards. Perhaps no colony will migrate to your stump, but do you really want to take the risk? In any case, other sorts of insects and substances may infest your stump.

Fungi​

The list of enthusiasts of abandoned stumps is long. Mushrooms are one of them. Children may be tempted to play with them and eat them. If an unfortunate incident ensues, you may feel sorry for not having that pesky tree stump removed by our stump grinder. The only way to avoid any inconvenience is by grubbing it. ​

Adding value to your property  

What role do you think a stump will play when it comes to selling the property? Perhaps the tree stump will impose a hidden problem, in the prospect’s mind. What will you say when asked why you had a tree cut down? Even if a pest attack had nothing to do with the event, do you think the prospect will think you are telling the truth? No, they are looking for value and your house will no longer provide this asset. In case you want to sell in a few years, even if you do not know it yet, have your stump removed immediately. This will put the odds in your favour.

Use of chemicals  

Okay, enough of the arguments, you are convinced you need to act. Why not do remove the tree stump yourself? How are you going to do it? You mat think that with chemicals, it will be easy. Think again! Not only are they rarely as effective as you might think, but they also wreak havoc on the environment. Water runoff will carry the contaminants away, making the problem worse. Your own vegetation could be affected. Children or animals could also encounter the product. Chemicals are a bad idea.

Stump removal: Use of a tractor or excavator?
