Stumps are notorious for causing many problems in any yard.  Usually, when someone has a tree cut down, they’ll tend to neglect the stump … and this is where the problem begins.  Stumps that have been left in the yard can lead to various headaches further on down the track. This is why at StumpBoy Melbourne, we always recommend stump grinding.

What is stump grinding?

Stump grinding is essentially the process of grinding down the base of a tree into mulch.  A specialised piece of machinery known as a ‘stump grinder’ will completely reduce the size of the stump so that it’ll no longer stick out over the grass.

Benefits of stump grinding?

There are many benefits when it comes to stump grinding.  Not only when it comes to safety, but also when it comes to aesthetics and space.  Stumps are generally quite cumbersome and so leaving them to stick out in your garden can generally lead to having a tripping hazard.  They also stick out and so they’re usually quite hard to hide when you’re trying to host a Christmas lunch in your backyard.

By engaging in stump grinding services, you can expect the following benefits:

Reduction of Hazards

As we mentioned earlier, stumps can be a horrible mixture for disaster.  The amount of accidents that happen from people tripping over stumps is countless.  Furthermore, there is also a large number of homeowners that have driven their lawn mower straight over the top of their stump.  This will usually result in damaging the cutting deck which can be quite costly to replace.

Eliminate problems with insects and termites

A leftover stump will generally attract unwanted insects and termites.  As the stump begins to rot, this will generally get worse.  This can be particularly problematic if the stump is near your home. Termites are always on the lookout for somewhere new to invade!

More space

By having your stump ground down to the soil, you can actually increase the amount of usable space in your yard.  With this extra space, it can mean more playing room for the children or more room to plant new, manageable trees.
