Arbor Operations – Stump Grinding Toowoomba

Frequently Asked Questions About Stump Grinding Toowoomba

• What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?

  stump grinding work is completed after a tree has been cut or partially removed. Stump removal entails removing the whole tree stump and root system. Arbor Operations have expertise in both techniques.

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

  Clients find that they want to have the stump removed for a variety of reasons: 

  • Improve the look of their garden – Stump grinding can significantly improve the aesthetics of your property or garden. Removing the stump will give you the opportunity to replace an unsightly, battered stump with a beautiful new tree.
  • Prevent new tree growth – Removing a tree stump is the only certain way to stop new tree growth. If your tree stump is not removed properly by experts, the roots may still survive. Even if a tree stump is cut low to the ground, it can still produce new shoots out of its trunk and roots, resulting in unwanted tree growth. 

  Avoid hazards like termites and ants – Termites can build a nest in your tree stump and tunnel toward your home. Stump removal helps protect your home from termites and the costly damage they wreak on your home.

• What is the largest tree stump size that you can grind or remove?

  We don’t have a size limit on the size of stumps we can grind or remove.

• Can the tree regrow once you remove the stump?

  Once the stump and root system are completely removed, it cannot regrow. If you’d like to stop the tree from regrowing, we can grind down your tree stump’s roots to prevent this.
