"New Green Earth Tree Care is a 5 star operation. From the initial consultation through the topping of some trees and removal of others, New Green Earth made the entire process as professional and smooth as possible. Watching them work their magic, I have a new appreciation for specialists in this field. Luiz is an expert licensed arborist and has many years in the business. His crew is like a troupe of chainsaw juggling acrobats. Every care was taken to preserve the sensitive features of the surroundings, which included the controlled descent of sections of trees, as they were being taken down piece by piece. Cleanup was impeccable, as they left no trace of the countless tons of tree debris that were removed from my back hillside. And to top it all off, the price was more than reasonable. I feared the project would cost well over what New Green Earth charged. I could not be happier. "

Yes, grinding a stump is worthwhile if you plan to use the area for planting, recreation, or building. Removing the stump clears space for new landscaping or construction projects. Additionally, as the stump decomposes, it can rob the soil of nitrogen, affecting the growth of other plants. Stumps are also a tripping hazard, making removal a wise choice.
The time it takes to grind a stump depends on its size, density, and the grinder's performance. A small, soft stump can be ground in 15 minutes, while a large, dense stump may require up to eight hours for complete removal. Factors like the stump's structure and your grinding technique affect how quickly you can remove it.
Grinding a stump is often the best solution for clearing an area for construction or planting. It removes the visible portion of the stump, but the roots remain underground. If you need to remove the roots for long-term stability or design plans, you'll need to hire a professional for full stump and root removal. This ensures your site is completely cleared for future projects.
Leaving a tree stump in your yard can cause several problems. It can become a breeding ground for pests and diseases that might harm nearby trees and structures. Plus, the decaying stump can interfere with your landscaping plans, making mowing difficult and promoting unwanted new growth that can disrupt soil stability. Removing the stump eliminates these risks and improves your yard's safety and appearance.
To effectively kill a stump, you need to interrupt its nutrient supply and speed up decay. Drill holes into the stump and fill them with a concentrated herbicide like glyphosate, rock salt, or Epsom salt. This method ensures the substance penetrates deeply. Alternatively, cover the stump with a dark, heavy-duty tarp to deprive it of sunlight, which accelerates the process. Remember to follow safety guidelines when using these methods.
