7 years experience, quality work and professional, very favorable prices

"The job went very well. The crew showed up right on time and went to work. They were very good about letting me point out exactly what limbs I wanted removed. They removed just the right amount of foliage to get the effect I wanted. After the trimming was finished, they did a great job cleaning up. I will definitely hire them again if I need more tree work."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Sylva, 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.
