Trees are important to the environment. Trees can also bring beauty to your landscape. Even so, remnants of trees that have been cut can look terrible and even result in mishaps. Stump mincing is known as an effective method to eliminate unwanted tree stubs from the landscape. The base of the tree should be taken away altogether if it will only be an eyesore and cause distressing incidents in your residence.

You need to stop the roots from spreading underground since it is the only way to exterminate the tree permanently. Remember that trees grow downward and not upward. Moreover, tree roots can create cracks in the floor and destroy fences or pipes buried beneath the soil. Roots can also weaken the foundation of your residence and aggravate the possibility of collapsing particularly during earthquakes.

Insects and pests are easily attracted to stumps. These bugs are sources of allergies and illnesses especially among kids. At the same time, the roots of a tree stump can contaminate other healthy foliage in your surroundings. Hence, the overall look of your lawn is adversely affected. This can be a do-it-yourself job but you may need special equipment to ensure that the stumps are taken away completely. It is still advisable to hire a professional tree removal company because it has the appropriate tools and proficient workers.

The moment you try to do this by yourself, there are numerous aspects to bear in mind. You have to realize the actual part of the tree that should be removed. A particular portion should be left to serve as lever so the trunk can be chopped in the shortest amount of time and utilizing the least of materials.

It may beneeded to rent a power grinder or buy a stump remover compound (powdered form of potassium nitrate) which is supposed to hasten the rotting of stumps. These solutions can be acquired from stores retailing home and gardening supplies. You can place the granules into holes in the stump and add water too.

The process of decomposition normally takes from four to six weeks. Just make sure to keep children and pets away from the tree. The decayed trunk can be broken easily using an axe. Another alternative is to burn the stump using kerosene or fuel but not gasoline. Keep in mind that professional cutters do not work on stumps that have been cut for more than one year.
