Remove Stumps to Safeguard Your Equipment and Reduce Risk of Fungal Diseases
Not only can unwanted tree stumps be an eyesore and a trip hazard, they also waste valuable outdoor space and can ruin garden equipment such as lawnmowers. Even small stumps can take years to rot so the simple solution is professional tree stump removal. Stump removal also reduces the risk of spreading fungal diseases such as honey fungus if the tree stump is diseased. The most common method of tree stump removal is stump grinding, but in certain circumstances, we may recommend an alternative method after a free site visit.
