Local Tree Stump Removal Service

Benefits of stump removal:

• Mitigates risk of injury
  After tree removal you may be fine with keeping a stump on your land or garden. However, the longer it sticks around the greater the potential for damage and injury - from busting up your lawnmower when you’re trying to mow the garden, to tripping up guests, your children or grandparents when they’re enjoying time outside there are several reasons you're better off getting rid of a tree stump asap.
  
  
• Prevents insect attacks
  Once a tree is felled and removed, the tree stump starts a slow decaying process and of course, over time this means that a rotting stump can attract damaging pests like carpenter ants, termites, beetles, wood wasps and more which can cause serious problems if it spreads to other plants and trees and potentially into your home depending on the location, and so our local tree stump removal service near me can stop this from happening.
  
  
• Stops damage from root growth
  When a tree is felled it does not die immediately but instead continues to grow its roots underground. Without removing the roots clients can suffer from them continuing to grow long after the tree has been felled and removed and can therefore have the potential to attack foundations, underground cables and water pipes.
  
  
• Allows new trees to grow
  Without removing stumps, if you want to plant new trees in place of or near to where the old tree you might have great difficulty. This is because the root network of the old tree will still be there and will thwart the growth of any new plants. Our stump removal Wirral team are highly experienced and will make sure that you have a fresh start to grow whatever you want.
  
  

Drawbacks of stump and root removal Wirral

• More invasive
  Compared to stumps being ground down, by completely removing a stump, clients will naturally be facing more initial disruption which is a drawback. Our team are highly trained and use cutting-edge machinery to keep any disruption to a minimum however.
  
  
• Additional machinery and labour expense
  Because a stump removal service requires more machinery and takes more time and effort to get the job done, it can add up to a bit more. At The Tree Surgeon Wirral our team of specialists know what they are doing so the process will be as fast and efficient as possible which helps to keep costs down.
  

Benefits of stump grinding vs. removal

Although a complete option is to to remove the full stump along with the roots an alternative is stump grinding. The benefits are:

• Less time & labour
  Because when a stump is ground down it only involves one stage of grinding to ground level, it takes less time and less man power to complete. Depending on the size and location of the stump, it could take just one of our tree specialists to complete the work and may take just a couple of hours. Also, less work is required from our survey and planning as the risks of underground damage is lower.
  
  
• Less machinery
  With our stump grinding Wirral service we need to focus only on removing the tree stump to ground level and not full tree root removal so less machinery is required for this process. We have a range of high-grade stump grinders to tackle any stump grinding job big or small.
  
  
• Less intensive
  Stump grinding only focusses on removing what's above the ground with no underground digging and root removal so it is a far less intensive procedure and does not leave a hole in the ground that requires filling.
  
  
• Less expensive
  Taking all of the above into account, stump grinding is the less expensive procedure compared to our full stump removal Wirral service. However as mentioned above, there are drawbacks as well that will make this a less appealing option for some Wirral clients.
