Stump Removal
Leaving behind stumps to rot in place not only creates an unattractive eyesore, but can also create a host of issues that can interfere with the health of your landscape. Decaying roots that might continue to spread underground can create land instability.
By removing these stumps up front, you safeguard your property against unexpected hazards.
For homeowners and developers looking for professional stump removal services, Ascend Earthworks is your trusted partner. With innovative machinery and a skilled team, we make the process safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly.
How Do You Know You might Need Stump Removal Services?
Whilst the most common reason for stump removals is for its aesthetic purposes, there are also a few factors that need to be taken into consideration with this service. This includes the following:
- Pest Invasion: Dead stumps can attract termites, ants, and other wood-boring insects. If you notice increased insect activity around the stump, it's time for removal.
- Fungal Growth: If mushrooms or fungi are growing on or around the stump, decay has likely begun, which could spread to nearby trees or structures.
- Obstructing Landscaping Projects: Stumps can block the way for projects like driveway renewal, patio installation, or garden expansions.
- Root Spread: Even after a tree is cut, its roots can continue to grow, potentially damaging nearby pipes, driveways, or foundations.
Did you know ? Stump Removal vs Stump Grinding
When dealing with unwanted tree stumps, there are two primary methods: stump removal and stump grinding.
Stump removal involves extracting the entire stump, roots and all, from the ground. This method is more invasive but ensures that the entire root system is removed, preventing future root growth and ensuring a known base area for future projects. This is ideal when you need a clean slate for major landscaping or construction work.
On the other hand, stump grinding is a less disruptive process where the stump is ground down to below the surface level. The root system remains partially intact but will eventually decay underground. This method is faster and more affordable and is often used for aesthetic purposes or when the land does not require deep excavation.
Why Choose Ascend Earthworks?
Stump removal services are more complex than simply uprooting what remains of a tree. More often than not, a thorough site assessment and specialised equipment are needed to fully clear the stump’s roots. We tailor our strategies and services to the unique circumstances of the property. This ensures that stumps are removed down to the root level, preventing future issues with regrowth or ground instability.
