Stump Grinding Brisbane

FAQs – Tree Stump Removal Brisbane

• I’ve just had a tree cut down. Why should I have the stump removed?

  Our clients often want to remove a tree stump for the following reasons:

  • To improve the aesthetics of their property or garden
  • To replace the old stump with a new tree
  • To avoid the hassle of needing to mow around it
  • To avoid hazards like termites and ants.

  The cost of stump grinding Brisbane is well worth it as it will not only improve the aesthetics of your garden but also help to protect your home from hazards like termites!

• Why do we need to remove trees?

  Tree removal is often an unavoidable task to ensure the safety of people and property. Some of the most common reason for tree removal, include:

  • Trees can pose a safety risk due to the age and/or structural deficits due to previous storm-related activity or tampering with the tree’s roof plate
  • In cities and regions prone to storm seasons like Brisbane, it’s important to have overhanging tree branches removed or trimmed.
  • If trees become infested with pests and/or infected with disease, they can become weak and brittle, and more so, a safety hazard.

• What is stump grinding?

  Stump grinding is a technique used to remove a tree stump. It involves grinding the tree stump into small wood chips. Typically, this work is performed after a tree has been cut or lopped, and only the tree’s stump remains. This technique is easier, simpler and safer than attempting to dig around the stump to remove it. It is also more environmentally friendly since the wood chips can be recycled to enrich your garden’s soil and boost its organic carbon levels.

• Is the tree stump still alive?

  Until you remove its root system, the tree stump may still be alive. Even if the tree stump is cut low to the ground, it may still produce new shoots out of its trunk and roots.

• Can the tree regrow once you remove the stump?

  If a tree stump is improperly removed, it may regrow its roots, creating future problems for your property and garden. We can grind down your stump’s roots to prevent regrowth.
