Stumps take up Valuable Space

Stump Removal Methods
In our experience, some stumps are far easier to remove than others. It is usually the stubborn stumps that warrant a call to the professionals. There are different techniques employed for removing stumps of different trees. For instance, stumps of deciduous trees pose greater difficulty than those of pine trees.
Stump grinding and chemical stump removal are two most common methods to remove a stump in the DFW area. However, we only recommend the grinding method, since adding harmful chemicals to your yard may damage the soil integrity. In addition, you may not be able to have new growth in that area for quite a few years.
Our team will come prepared when you call us for stump grinding. We use industry standard stump grinding equipment to ensure it is ground down to at least 3-6 inches below the ground level. If possible, we will remove the root system. However, if the tree was mature with complex root system, we recommend leaving it in. It is possible for underground pipelines to get damaged when removing roots.
We strongly encourage that you call professional tree stump services when you want a stump removed. This is a challenging and hazardous job.
