"Highly recommend R&L Tree Service! Pete came out for our estimate and was quite fascinating to talk to, his knowledge and professionalism is impressive. We got a very reasonable estimate for the removal of a very large dead elm, pruning and moving a couple of younger trees. On removal day this team was incredible to watch. Everything was well thought out and executed with continuous communication. Our neighbors were so impressed that they ask me for their information. Clean up was perfect...like no one was here. Also, something else we really loved, trees are recycled back into nature. Thank you R&L!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Durham, NC

The time it takes to grind a stump depends on its size and the type of wood. Small, softwood stumps take only 15 minutes to remove, while large, hardwood stumps can take several hours. Before the project begins, ask your stump grinding pro for an estimate so you can plan accordingly.

There are several alternative methods to stump removal, including winching it with mechanical equipment, cutting it with a chainsaw, grubbing out the stump and roots, initiating a burn with the required permits, activating natural rotting processes, and applying chemical treatments to expedite decay. Each method offers its own advantages and safety requirements, so it is important to select the option that best suits your project and complies with local regulations.

The cost of tree removal typically doesn't include stump grinding. Removing a stump requires different equipment and skills than cutting down a tree. If you want both services, your contractor will often charge extra for grinding the stump. However, bundling tree removal and stump grinding can sometimes save you money, so it's worth asking about package deals.

Pest issues in a tree stump do not slow down the grinding process. The decay accelerated by pests can make grinding more efficient. However, if an infestation is present, it is important to arrange for pest control afterward to safeguard the health of your garden. Ensuring thorough pest management after stone removal supports long-term yard stability and prevents further damage.
