There are many reasons why homeowners choose to remove old stumps on their property and they include for aesthetic reasons, for easier mowing and to keep termites away. Homeowners who still have stumps in their yard should read these important questions and answers below to learn more about hiring a company that specializes in Stump Grinding.
Is it possible for homeowners to remove the stumps in their yard?
Before contacting a professional company, many homeowners do try to remove their own stumps. They soon find out that it’s a time consuming process and rarely do they get the stump removed by themselves. Some homeowners try to burn or pour chemicals on the stumps in their yard, but this process can take years before the stump is finally gone. One phone call to a stump grinding service and the stump will be gone in a few hours or less.
How does stump grinding work to remove stumps from the yard?
When the specialists arrive at the property, they’ll bring a machine with them that cuts up the stump. After cutting as much of the stump off as possible with a chainsaw, they’ll begin using the cutting tool. This tool has a cutting wheel that rotates and chews up the wood. After a section of the stump is completed, the machine is moved to a different area until the entire stump is in tiny pieces. After grinding the stump out, a hole will be left in the ground. The wood chips can then be placed back into the opening or homeowners can place soil in the hole and plant grass seed.
Why should homeowners hire professionals to grind the stumps out of their yard?
Using a stump grinding machine can be dangerous for individuals who’ve never used one before. The blades that cut up the stump are sharp and individuals must know how to properly use the machine. Professionals who specialize in Stump Grinding are experienced with this type of work, but they still wear protective gear as they know the danger that’s involved.
