Stump Grinding in Ithaca, NY

There are many reasons homeowners remove stumps from their property. For example, stump removal can be necessary to improve the aesthetics of a property, to create more usable space, or to make repairs or improvements on the property. Homeowners also remove stumps as part of a pest control program. Some pests, like rodents and ants, prefer to live in or around stumps. Removing the stump eliminates this habitat and makes it difficult for the pests to survive.

When a tree is chopped down, the stump is left behind. The stump is usually ground up by an arborist using a stump grinder. This machine has several blades that spin around the stump. The blades cut through the stump, removing all the wood.

If you're noticing that your tree is slowly dying and needs to be removed, a professional removal may be the best option for you. There are a few reasons why having a stump professionally removed might be the right call for you.
​
First and foremost, a professional removal will ensure that your tree is taken down in an orderly and safe manner. This means that if there are any hazardous materials contained within the stump, they will be disposed of properly and won't pose any danger to the surrounding area. Additionally, having a professional remove your stump can save you time and money in the long run. By getting rid of the tree quickly, you won't have to spend money on landscaping or repairs later on. Finally, if you're not sure whether or not your tree needs to be removed, hiring a professional will give you peace of mind during what could potentially be an emotionally difficult process.

It is generally advisable to ground stumps at least 8 inches below the surface of the ground. This will ensure that the stump is completely removed, preventing decay and other problems. After a stump has been ground down, it is important to clean up the area. Make sure to sweep up any debris and rake it into a pile. Next, use a hose to wash the area clean. Finally, use a broom or shovel to remove any remaining debris. You may want to layer soil over the area to disguise the stump.

It takes several weeks for the ground to settle following tree removal. During this time, the tree's roots will be removed and the surrounding soil disturbed. The process of tree removal can also cause some settling, but it is not usually noticeable within a few weeks.
