Stump grinding & root mulching

Most people who own property would love nothing more than to be surrounded by beautiful trees. Not only can these trees increase property values, but they can reduce energy bills, lower harmful environmental impact, and provide more personal enjoyment for all.

However, there are situations wherein it becomes necessary to remove trees from your property. If your area has experienced a particularly bad wind storm or a tree becomes diseased, you may lose a tree or two. And when this happens, a stump may be left behind.

Why Consider Professional Stump Grinding or Stump Removal?

It might seem like an unnecessary step, but there are several different reasons to opt for stump grinding and removals instead of letting nature take its course. 

You’ll Improve Your Curb Appeal: Whether you’re looking to sell your home or you merely want to ensure your lawn looks its best, you won’t want tree stumps getting in the way of your goals. Simply put, stumps can be real eyesores. They can impede added value and even bring about harsh judgments from your neighbors. You’ll restore your lawn’s attractiveness — and make general upkeep a whole lot easier — if you remove unsightly stumps.

You’ll Promote Improved Safety: It’s not all about appearance. Stumps that are left behind from tree removal can also pose a threat to safety. Even if you feel a stump is easy to see, another family member or visitor won’t necessarily know it’s there. In that sense, your unwillingness to consider stump removal could cause harm to someone else. In the end, it’s much better to be safe than sorry. Taking care of stump grinding and removals right away can provide valuable peace of mind and safeguard the well-being of friends, family, tenants, guests, and others. 

You’ll Reduce Frustration: DIY stump removal is not recommended. The process can be incredibly challenging, even with all of the right tools and experience. Homeowners or property owners who go this route will typically end up making the situation worse. Rather than dragging the problem out for months and spending money on products that won’t produce results, you can avoid that situation entirely by hiring a company that offers stump grinding and removals.

How Much Does Tree Stump Removal Cost?

It’s important to keep in mind that there’s no one set cost for stump grinding and removals. The price will typically depend on the size of the stump or how many stumps need to be removed.

Prices will vary from company to company, of course. While some providers may charge less, Home Advisor estimates that the national cost of stump removal can range from $163 and $471, with an average cost of $300. You should expect to pay $2 to $5 per inch of diameter; at minimum, you’ll likely end up paying at least $100.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that this cost is worth it in the long term. By avoiding costs associated with DIY removal and restoring property value instead, the cost of professional stump grinding and removals will usually pay for itself.
