Tree Stump Removal Omaha, NE
After removing a large tree, the final task is getting rid of the stump. Because of the root system, manually removing a stump is very labor-intensive. Renting a stump grinder also takes time, effort, and money. Instead, you could hire a professional stump removal service in your area.
Removing a tree is only the first step—stump grinding and root removal complete the process of restoring your landscape for future use. Our tree removal company ensures thorough and responsible tree disposal, minimizing environmental impact while keeping your property clean and hazard-free.
Why Stump Removal?
We offer professional stump grinding for clients where access permits. Stump grinding is important because it allows the homeowner to alter the space where trees and shrubs once stood (after filling the holes).
Axing, burning, or poisoning a stump will not give you the same results as total stump and root removal. Tree Services of Omaha certified arborists use stump grinders that pulverize the existing stump to a depth of about 4-6 inches below ground level. On a case-by-case basis, we will grind a few feeder roots. However, we will not chase all the roots throughout a yard since this can cause extensive turf damage.
We never recommend planting a tree in the same spot as an existing tree, since the old roots can choke out a new tree. It is important to plant a new tree at least 5-10 feet from the existing stump, even if it is ground out.
Can we grind a tree stump in your yard?
Our stump grinders come in various sizes, and they can easily fit through a standard 36″ gate. These machines are operated by remote control, allowing us to access most stumps no matter where they are located. Whether you need large tree removal, tree disposal service, or complete tree and stump removal services, we have the tools to get the job done efficiently.
* Please note that we are not able to grind stumps located in rock beds, within 6 inches of concrete, foundations, or fences. Our Omaha tree removal experts will advise if we can offer stump grinding during the initial consultation.
About The Stump Removal Process
At Tree Services of Omaha, we provide expert stump removal services for all types of stumps, no matter the size. Our process ensures thorough removal while minimizing disruption to your landscape.
- Drilling & Treatment – Several deep holes are drilled into the stump, and potassium nitrate is applied to speed up natural decomposition.
- Decomposition Period – The stump is left to soften over a few weeks, allowing for easier removal.
- Breaking & Extraction – Once softened, the stump is broken apart, including sections of the root system, for complete removal.
- Grinding (if needed) – For particularly large stumps, a stump grinder may be used to break them down into smaller pieces for easier extraction.
- Site Cleanup – Wood chips and debris are cleared, leaving your yard ready for replanting or landscaping.
The cost of stump removal varies depending on the size of the stump and the complexity of the removal process.
Whether you have a small or large stump, our team can safely and efficiently remove it from your property. Contact us today for a free quote on professional stump and root removal.
What happens after grinding a tree stump?
Following tree and stump removal, property owners should take steps to restore the area:
- Wood chip removal helps prevent unwanted plant growth.
- Filling the hole with soil ensures a smooth, even surface.
- Sprouts from remaining tree roots should be removed promptly.
- Tree disposal services are available to handle excess debris.
Some old tree species, such as Black Locust, may attempt regrowth. Our team provides guidance on preventing future growth while maintaining a healthy landscape.
When Is It Necessary to Remove a Tree Stump?
Leaving a stump behind after tree removal might seem harmless, but in many cases, taking it out is the best move for your property. If the stump is in the way of future landscaping plans, it’s best to remove it before planting or building in the area. Stumps that are close to walkways, driveways, or play areas can become tripping hazards or interfere with routine lawn care.
It’s also necessary to remove a stump if it shows signs of decay or attracts insects, as this can lead to larger issues over time. Some tree stumps may even start sending up new shoots, making the area difficult to maintain. If the tree was removed due to disease, leaving the stump can risk spreading that disease to nearby healthy trees. In short, stump removal is often necessary to keep your yard safe, usable, and free from unwanted growth or pests.
Health and Safety Concerns:
- Pest infestations: Termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring insects are attracted to decaying stumps
- Fungal diseases: Root rot and other diseases can spread to healthy nearby trees
- Lawn mower damage: Hidden stumps can damage equipment blades and create safety hazards
- Liability issues: Trip hazards on commercial properties can result in injury claims
Property Value Impact:
Unsightly stumps can reduce property appeal and complicate future landscaping projects. Professional removal is often required before home sales or major yard renovations.
