Stump Removal in Virginia Beach
At Virginia Beach Tree Service Pros, we are experts at stump removal and grinding. Leaving a tree stump in your yard after cutting down a tree may be common; however, this is not advisable in lawns. At best, the eyesore created by the stump disturbs the look of your landscaping thereby affecting the curb appeal of your property. At worst, the stump can cause damage to your lawn care equipment; negatively impact the surrounding plant life; provide a safe harbor for destructive pests such as termites and ants; or roots could continue to grow unseen into pipes or concrete.
Our specialists can remove this unsightly stump in one of two ways: complete removal or grinding. Picking which method is right for you will depend on the species of tree involved and the problems you are experiencing. For example, pine trees roots tend to grow close to the trunk, whereas roots from an established oak tree can extend far beyond the width of the branches. Armed with this knowledge, our certified arborists will assess the situation and provide you with fast, free estimate according to your situation and desires. |

Stump Grinding Virginia Beach
After we have assessed the species and the surrounding area and agreed that stump removal is the best option, the process is as follows. We survey the area to ascertain any workarounds necessary to protect assets such as underground utilities or other plants. We locate the major roots and use sophisticated equipment to dig them out along with the stump. Then, we take care of removing all debris caused by the process. While this method provides complete extraction, know that it will leave behind holes in your yard. We can assist in leveling the ground with fill dirt or mulch as you prefer. If the trunk were surrounded by grass, it would likely need to be reseeded. While more in-depth and time-consuming than grinding, stump removal is your best bet if you are working with a notoriously invasive tree, are at high risk for insect infestation or working with a diseased stump. This method also halts any chances of roots continuing to grow underground.
Grinding is a popular and less expensive option than stump removal. This method involves using machinery to grind the trunk of the tree down, so it is slightly below flush with the ground (and then we cover the shallow indentation with shavings). Choosing grinding over removal not only requires less equipment and manpower but the process takes significantly less time. All these factors contribute to less expense for you. There is also minimal impact to and upheaval of your landscape. Grinding is often the preferred option to remove a stump when the main problem it posts is nuisance-related (maneuvering a mower).
An unsightly tree stump lingering in your yard can take several years to decompose and, depending on the species, could cause issues in the future.
