What Are The Benefits Of Stump Grinding?

by | Oct 17, 2017 | Stump Removal

Jim’s Trees offers a comprehensive, value for money stump removal and stump grinding service. They can remove any stumps, large or small, no matter the landscape and terrain surrounding the particular tree stump.

1. Prevent Hazards

There are many reasons to get a tree stump removed. Not only can they be an eyesore but they are also potentially hazardous. If you have small children running around in your backyard, the last thing you want is for them to hurt themselves in a way that is foreseeable.

Tree stumps can also harbour fungal diseases such as Phytophthora or Armillaria; these conditions can be a significant health hazard to nearby trees and vegetation.

2. Remove Pests

If a tree stump is not removed, it can quickly begin to rot and can quickly become home for termites, ants and other pests. Although there aren’t any native New Zealand termites that are a danger to construction, there have been several infestations of Australian Termites in recent years. Australian termites can endanger properties, so it is a social obligation to remove dead tree stumps properly. This should eliminate the risk of this invasive species-taking root in New Zealand (source).

We previously wrote an article on the danger of DIY stump removal. There are multiple reasons you should always hire the professional’s health and safety compliance is just one of these reasons.

3. Avoid Property Damage

There are also major financial risks you should be extremely wary of. Tree roots can occupy an area four to seven size of the size of the visible tree stump, so there are risks to damaging underground hazards such as pipes which can lead to hefty council imposed penalties.

Why Choose Jim’s Qualified Arborists

At Jim’s Trees, we have arborists with years of experience. We proudly provide expert stump grinding services for commercial, residential, governmental clients and regional councils across New Zealand.

We ensure that tree stump grinding and removals are done efficiently, safely and with the minimal possible residue left behind. Before Jim’s qualified arborists begin any stump removal, they perform a thorough analysis of the surrounding terrain to ensure your safety, the safety of your property and the safety of our staff.

Another advantage of choosing professional stump grinders is they will remove all of the wood and debris that would be left over if you attempted the dangerous task of stump removal yourself. This means your landscape will return to being visually pleasing in the shortest possible time frame.

Jim’s Trees have all the optimal equipment for getting the job done safely and efficiently, from the smallest of hand-held tools to massive high powered diesel engines. We don’t use any chemicals meaning our service is friendly to the environment and your property.
