Stump grinderFelling a tree leaves you with a stump. You wonder what to do: remove it or keep it? The idea that it would be better to remove it crosses your mind, but you quickly dismiss it when you think of the magnitude of the job ahead of you. In the following, you will discover several reasons to get rid of that pesky tree stand. So, to make it easy for you, let us do the work! Ask us about our other tree care services at the same time.
Why remove the stump?
Do you think that a well arranged stump can be very pretty? Yes, it can. But feet can also get caught in it, causing falls, which in turn can lead to injuries of varying severity. This can be quite embarrassing when you have guests and such an incident occurs. In addition, many people consider that a stump symbolizes a lack of respect towards the general maintenance of a property. It gives a very poor image.

Avoid at all costs: baiting carpenter ants with an abandoned stump!
Stumps can attract carpenter ants. Carpenter ants build a main nest and surround it with other nests at some distance. So, no matter how far away your stump is from the house, it's not impossible that if carpenter ants move in, you'll have some entering the home. Avoiding this risk should be enough to discourage anyone from keeping their stump. But in any case, no matter what kind of insects are attracted to this wood remnant, no regiment of six-legged critters is usually welcome.
When stumps and mushrooms give you a hard time
Mushrooms are stump lovers, too. If you're a parent, you wouldn't want your kids to check out what they taste like. Especially if they are poisonous species! Testing is the only way to avoid such problems.
Shoots multiply on undislodged stumps
Is there someone in your home who has the soul of an artist and can make a splendid arrangement on your stump? Warn this person that shoots could grow in abundance and episodically undo this unique composition, to the point where, little by little, the composition is undone and becomes difficult to correct. In addition, cutting these recalcitrant shoots can become annoying. At Emondage L'Assomption, we offer stump removal as one of our many tree care services. Contact us at 579-795-2005 to have your tree trimmed properly.
Remove the stump for more safety on your property
Any conscientious homeowner is concerned when a hazard exists on their property, for their own people or for their guests. A stump is one such item. In fact, this object represents a potential risk of injury to all. When such worries roll around in your mind frequently, you can no longer fully enjoy the soothing factor of being outside, enjoying your surroundings. So, ask us to come in with our grinder and get rid of this impostor.
Remove your stump to sell more easily when the day comes
If you were to sell in the future, what do you think prospects would think if a stump was left in place? They will either suspect an infestation or, if they discover that it has been there for years, they will assume that your entire property maintenance is neglected. It would be a shame to end up selling for such a small reason or not getting the price you want. Buyers are known to take the "turnkey" approach. Don't wait any longer and have us remove your stump.
Do not use chemicals to remove a stump: see why
Ok, you want to remove the stunk. But you still prefer to do it yourself. It's true that the magnitude of the job has stopped you in your tracks so far, but why not use chemicals? Because it's a bad idea. They're usually real contaminants. The water will be streaming them away from your home. If you spread them on the ground, even a little, your own vegetation could suffer. Worse: your children could touch it. And if they put their hands in their mouths afterwards, you'll have to hope they'll get away with a bad taste. But you won't have peace of mind. Chemicals often harm the environment and your health. So opt to have it done by a professional service like ours.
Use of a tractor or excavator
So, solution found: you are going to borrow a tractor from a friend. Have you thought about the crawlers as they move across your lawn? They can create long, unsightly ruts. And you'll have to repair the damage by leveling the area and then possibly replace peat. There is a piece of equipment dedicated to remove a stump that works quickly and cleanly: a grinder. At Emondage L'Assomption we are equipped with one and our experienced arborists know how to work efficiently with it. No method is as wise as this one. So call us immediately at 579-795-2005 to finally have your stump removed.
