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 grinding service in your area.
Most people try to save money by skipping stump removal, but we always recommend hiring a professional. Using an Omaha tree removal services company for tree stump removal is the best way to complete the tree removal process.
Why Stump Removal?
We offer stump grinding to all of our tree stump removal clients if the 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 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 removal and stump grinding or complete tree service and stump grinding, 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 typically involves drilling holes inches deep into the stump and saturating it with potassium nitrate, which speeds up the natural decomposition process.
After a few weeks, we use a drill bit to break apart the stump and remove it along with the roots. For particularly large stumps, we may need to use a stump grinder to break it down into smaller pieces for removal.
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.
What happens after grinding a tree stump?
Following the stump grinding process, we recommend removing the wood chips and filling the hole with soil. Due to the near impossibility of removing all the old roots, many will remain in place, and you may eventually see mushrooms in the area where the tree once grew. Some types of old tree roots will also grow sprouts (Black Locust is a good example) — these shoots should be removed on a regular basis to prevent any part of the tree from growing back. We haul all excess chips that are above grade/mound when cleaning up. The rest of the mulch/chips that are below grade, we leave behind, depending on the size.
* Please note that if there are any rocks/concrete/bricks/etc underground that we aren’t disclosed or seen prior to grinding will be assessed extra fees and/or damage costs to Tree services of Omaha stump removal machinery.
