As experts in our field, we often get many questions regarding stump grinding.  Do I have to remove the tree stump?  Can I remove the tree stump myself?  Instead of leaving it up to Google to lead you in the right direction, we though we would create a blog post to help you get the answers you need.  This way you can make informed decisions about what your next steps should be.  What follows is a quick list of FAQ’s when it comes to Stump Grinding in Avon Park.

Do I Have To Remove A Tree Stump From My Yard?

Technically, the answer is no.  If we look towards forests and natural tree environments, those trees that become sick and fall provide the nutrients and shelter for new trees, but unless you live in a forest, you may want to consider removing the stump for your yard.  Here are a few reasons we recommend it:

  • Ants, termites, and other bugs are attracted to the rotting tree stump. If you want to discourage these potentially harmful insects from coming close to your home, you may want to remove the stump from your yard.
  • Depending on how the stump was cut down, it may provide a tripping hazard, and at a minimum will make it more difficult to maintain your yard.
  • Most tree stumps will grow sprouts, but those sprouts won’t turn into trees, which means they end up needing to be trimmed and constantly removed and maintained.

Can I Remove The Stump Myself?

Sure, but most methods that homeowners have to remove the stump themselves can cause damage to their landscaping or take long periods of time.  The other issue that many of our client’s experience is not getting it all, then having sprouts pop up in the middle of their yards, causing havoc on nicely maintained yards.

Do You Recommend Stump Grinding?

Yes, absolutely.  Stump grinding removes the eyesore, prevents further sprouting, and solves issues with bugs, and tripping hazards.
