A grubbing can seem like a simple removal of a stump from the ground. However, it is imperative that you do it in an environmentally friendly way and without damaging your lawn. Finally, to avoid such consequences as much as possible, it is important to use specialized tools designed for this task.
Why do you need to have a stump grinder done?
You may be experiencing resistance to stump removal after having your tree cut down. This decision is rarely the result of procrastination or negligence. Very often, a tree owner sincerely sees an opportunity to take advantage of it. So you appreciate the rustic character of a stump, and it wouldn't hurt to design a plant arrangement to complement your garden, you think. Except that it is wise to think about the consequences of keeping a stump in the ground.
Unwanted insects, including carpenter ants
One of the effects of preserving a stump is the gradual decay of the wood. Insects might think that this is an invitation. And these could include carpenter ants. More than one thinks that it doesn't matter, since the point where the felling took place is quite far from his home. Except that you won't be spared for this reason, because these ants are used to install satellite nests around their central station, up to distances of up to 100 metres from it. The smell of rotting can also frighten off unwanted small urban mammals, such as raccoons or skunks.
Stump Push-ups
You're certainly not unaware of the usefulness of roots. Indeed, they provide the nutrient supply, especially to arboreal specimens. So, if you want to keep your stump, can you imagine what will happen, since the root system also stays in place? You have probably witnessed this phenomenon while walking in the undergrowth. Can't you see what it is? Well, shoots will proliferate on your stump, at home and in the woods! It's easy, just cut them off, you think. But this repercussion will be repeated over and over again. As soon as it is cut, it will start all over again! Since the gesture does not bring any advantage, and is therefore useless, you will most likely end up getting bored.
So, avoid all this trouble and get out of breath right away. Just contact us at Emondage Drummondville. You will then receive a cost estimate and you can save yourself a lot of trouble by letting us get rid of this trunk base.
Safety precaution and space saving
Ok, it is advantageous to grind to avoid inconvenience, are you now ready to concede. But what are the strong points of this operation? The first, perhaps most obvious, is that it saves you space. A portion of your land becomes available again. In the city, every piece of land is so important. The second is security. If you've ever bumped into a stump because you didn't notice it, you know what we're talking about!
Value of his raised property
Another significant advantage is the indirect impact of a grubbing out on the value of your property. This point is only for sellers, you think. But you might consider it in the future, even if you are currently convinced otherwise. The success of a sale is, among other factors, intimately linked to the quality of the maintenance of a property, which is carried out assiduously, regularly and over a long period of time. Most buyers will probably prefer a stump that has been removed as a sign of impeccable maintenance. It would obviously be a shame to have to lower the price or even stop the transaction for a simple stump! Once the stump removal is completed, you will be able to plant a new tree exactly where you want it. That's another advantage of doing a stump grubbing.
Mushroom
The economy of effort resulting from abandoning a strain to nature, letting it do its work of putrefaction, is of course tempting. However, this process is very time-consuming and promises to attract fungi. This means several years of struggle against their presence, therefore!
Chemical products
Some use chemicals. You may find it an interesting way, since your land will not be affected. Nothing is less certain. These products run down into the water table, and are also likely to contaminate nearby vegetation. Moreover, they are very often toxic. Their use or storage, whether full before use or partly used afterwards, presents serious risks of poisoning not only for children, but also for beloved household pets. Not to mention that many municipalities prohibit their use in their by-laws, for environmental and other reasons. So, the quickest and least risky way to deal with this problem is to have our experts grub up the trees. Give us a call!
Tractor or excavator
One means often appreciated for its great efficiency remains the tractor or the excavator. Except that efficiency often rhymes with haste, and this one, with damage. Don't think you can handle these heavy vehicles as you please. They advance with difficulty, tearing up clods of earth in their path, digging rough furrows... your land will be a real mess, requiring extra effort, time and cost to repair everything. The best part is the huge cavity left by the removed roots. Bet you've been neglecting this aspect! So, among the extra work to be delivered, you will have to go buy some soil and fill this hole.
