Often times, property owners forget that it’s there, and the stump winds up in the yard, just sitting there looking like unfinished business. Even though it may seem like a small thing, perhaps a minor inconvenience, stumps can really be a hazard to have near your yard, business, or other property. Here are a few reasons why grinding it up may be in your best interest: |

Why Remove Stumps?
Here are a few reasons why you should consider removing those old stumps in your backyard, or other property!
1) They are Tripping Hazards. This one doesn’t need a lot of explaining, because the odds are good that you or your family have already stumbled or tripped over the stump at some point. This becomes even more probably when grass has begun to grow around it. That makes it even harder to see, and harder to avoid. It can trip people (and also cut tires, by the way!)
2) They attract pests. Did you know that stumps are irresistible to pests, like carpenter ants, beetles, wasps, termites, and other wood boring type insects?! For those of us in southern Louisiana, we want to avoid, especially, anything that invites termites near our homes. The bad thing about termites is that they do not stay put! They will wander to other healthy trees, or into your house. The good news is that this problem is solved very easily by simply removing or grinding up the stump.
3) They foster disease and mold. Because of our climate here in souther Louisiana, mold is another challenge. Mold can tend to grow quickly on stumps. If the tree that was cut down was removed because of disease, it can actually continue harboring that mold and disease, spreading it to other nearby trees, infecting them with the same thing.
4) They can regrow! Even a tree that has been cut down is still connected to the roots. That means that if it is not dealt with, it is possible that it could regrow.
5) It is an eyesore. There is just nothing attractive about an old stump sitting in your yard. They are, well – ugly! They detract from the ambiance of your property, diminishing its appeal and property value.
Let us come grind up the stump for you. It will look like it was never there. You’ll gain back new space on your property, fresh, and ready to use as a new seating area, or whatever you can dream up. Give us a call and ask about our stump grinding services, and we’ll come help you get rid of it.

Why Should I Use a Professional?
When you need to have a stump removed, you might be tempted to do it on your own. While this is technically possible, please know that getting rid of a stump is not as easy as it seems. They are usually much larger than they look from the outside. They are incredibly heavy! Even after the stump is removed, it will still need to be moved out of the way. There will be some industrial grade equipment to do this. Yes, you can usually rent it yourself; but it can actually be quite dangerous if you do not have the proper training and the experience to operate them correctly.
