Tree Stump Removal
Big Steve’s Tree Care also offers tree stump removal that is focused on you and your property. When you’re tired of an old tree stump taking up a bunch of space on your land that you could otherwise be using for something else, Big Steve’s Tree Care can excavate and remove the stump in its entirety. Removing a tree stump is a big job— trees have extensive root networks beneath the ground, the overwhelming majority of which you can’t see from the ground above. We always make sure to pull up not just the stump, but all of the roots we can reach in order to ensure that all remains of your tree have been completely removed.
We Remove Tree Stumps For Any Reason, Including:
- Old tree roots can become a trip hazard
- Stumps attract pests like termites and carpenter ants
- Tree roots make it difficult to mow your lawn or maintain your property
- Trees can become sick or diseased and threaten the health of the rest of your property
- Decaying stumps look bad and can make your entire yard an eyesore
- It’s impossible to plant new trees around a stump with excessive roots
How To Remove A Tree Stump
There are two different ways to remove a tree stump: you can either have it dug up and hauled away, or you can have the stump removed by grinding. Grinding involves shredding the stump into woodchips, which is fast and easy but leaves the tree roots behind. Stump removal pulls up the tree roots with the stump, but is a much more difficult process.
What is Stump Grinding?
As mentioned above, stump grinding shreds stumps, and roots closer to the surface using a specialized machine to turn the stump into mulch. A few benefits of this process include:
- Preventing sink holes by removing the stump
- Far less time consuming and expensive than manual removal
- The mulch/woodchips created by the process can be repurposed for your landscaping needs
- This process removes the stump below grade level
Is It Time To Remove My Tree?
As homeowners, we value trees around our property. Not only do trees provide clean air for us to breathe, but they also bring life and beauty to our living spaces. However, while some trees can last for decades, if not centuries, there comes a time when a tree declines to the point that it is a danger for those living around it. When a tree has declined to a dangerous point, a strong wind during a storm is all it takes to bring the tree toppling down. Our Fairfax County tree removal experts want to ensure that residents never have to find themselves in a situation where the mere presence of a tree is a danger to their home.
Common Signs To Look For When Assessing Tree Damage Include:
- Decay in the trunk and near the roots
- A mound has developed around the trunk
- The tree is gradually leaning to one side
- The crown of the tree is dead or decaying
- Cracks, splits, and discoloration in tree bark
