Give DAVIS TREE WORKS a call if you need a tree stump removed!
Reclaim the beauty of your property by grinding away the eye sore that is a tree stump. After we grind your stump you will be able to mow over it again a short time afterward.
After a tree is removed, the remaining stump may seem harmless, but leaving it behind can create long-term problems for your property, safety, and landscaping. Professional stump grinding and removal is the final step in truly restoring your yard.
1. Safety Hazards
Tree stumps pose a serious tripping risk for children, guests, and pets. They can also damage lawn equipment if struck by a mower or trimmer. As stumps rot, they may become unstable and difficult to see beneath grass or leaves, increasing the chance of injury.
2. Pest and Insect Attraction
Decaying stumps are a magnet for termites, ants, beetles, and other wood-boring insects. Once pests move into a stump, they can easily spread to nearby healthy trees—or even your home. Removing the stump eliminates a potential nesting and feeding ground.
3. Disease Prevention
Fungal growth and tree diseases often thrive in old stumps. These diseases can spread through the soil and affect surrounding plants, shrubs, and trees. Grinding the stump helps prevent contamination and protects the health of your landscape.
4. Improved Curb Appeal
A leftover stump can detract from the appearance of an otherwise well-maintained yard. Stump grinding removes this visual distraction, giving your landscape a cleaner, more polished look and improving overall property value.
5. Reclaim Your Yard Space
Stumps and exposed roots take up valuable space and limit how you can use your yard. Grinding the stump below ground level allows you to:
• Replant grass
• Install landscaping or garden beds
• Pour concrete or add walkways
• Prepare the area for future construction
6. Prevent Unwanted Regrowth
Some tree species will attempt to regrow from the stump, creating unsightly shoots and ongoing maintenance issues. Stump grinding stops this regrowth and ensures the tree is permanently removed.
