An urban forest is a forest or a collection of trees that grow within a city, town or a suburb. An easy way to explain it is any kind of woody plant vegetation growing in and around human settlements.
I've just had a tree cut down. Why should I grind the stump away?
There are many reasons to remove a tree stump - aesthetics, trip hazard, termites, spread of disease, and regrowth.
What about all the surface roots - can you grind those away too?
Yes, we can use the stump grinder to grind down 6 inches and remove all the protruding roots that extend out from the root flare.
How do I know were my underground utilities are located?
Roots Tree, Stump, and Land will make arrangements with contacting JULIE to locate underground utilities (electric, telephone, water/sewer, gas, and cable).
*Please make Roots Tree, Stump, and Land aware of any irrigation, dog fences, or private electric/gas/water.
How deep do you grind a stump?
We normally grind down 6 inches below grade.
Can I plant a new tree in the same place as the old stump?
Yes, it's possible, but it isn't the best idea. Here's why.
The last tree likely stripped the soil of the many essential nutrients that young trees depend on.
The chips left behind from the removal or stump grinding could also change the soil's nutrient balance.
If a tree was removed with a disease, that pathogen could still be lingering in the soil.
How do you price stump grinding?
No two stumps are the same. Every stump needs measured and multiple other cost factors come into play. Stumps may need cut lower to ground, surface roots, chips removed, or even top soil brought in.
Do you do a package discount for grinding many stumps at once?
Yes we do, we can even do a neighborhood discount. The more stumps ground the more trees being planted and we LOVE that.
Do you remove the stump grinding chips?
Yes, we offer that as an optional service. We can remove it, add topsoil, seed, and straw to complete the yard.
