Remove It or Grind It

Most normal stumps can be handled with a big grinder.

Some complicated situations demand a different removal process.

A substantial stump grinder turns an old tree into a mound of wood chips by progressively cutting away at it, little by little.

But a grinding machine can’t reach the long roots of an old tree which have pushed underneath a building or sidewalk and are causing a problem.

In order to clear away these roots, it is usually done with small tools.

These kind of projects are more challenging to do and take longer to get done.

Stump Removal Cost In Crossroads Area

Maybe it’s time for an estimate.

Estimates are based primarily on how much labor it will take to get the job finished.

And the primary aspect for understanding the length of the job is the size of the visible stump and its roots.

There may be additional factors too.

For example, you might have more than one tree you would like taken out.

In certain situations, the position of the tree and the roots determines the length of time the project is going to take.

Average sized trees that aren’t wrapped around anything are usually handled with only a grinder.

But older trees with complex root systems sometimes require a more difficult method.

A recently fallen tree, especially when it is still partly attached to the trunk, also will take more time and effort.

A Helpful Stump Grinder Near NE Bellevue

Many of the extraction jobs in this area are carried out by folks who specialize in doing this type of work exclusively.

And the remaining jobs are taken on by local landscapers who can work on a variety of other lawn issues.

Both types of businesses could help you out.

The Normal Process

Your specialist or crew has to locate their machine next to the stump you want removed.

They start it up and use it to gradually chip away at the leftover trunk and the exposed roots.

The operation is going to require some time.

When it’s all over, you’ll see a hefty pile of wood chips where your tree once stood.

There could be an indentation where the tree used to be.

You may want to get some fill dirt and grass seed.

Your Prospective WA Professional Wants to Know a Few Details

  • Is it on level ground?
  • Will it be easy to get to?
  • What is the diameter of the stump?
  • Is there something up against it – like a fence or other structure?
  • Does it have long roots which are going beneath a sidewalk or patio?
  • Is the tree old or recently cut?

These six concerns are factors local tree pros sometimes consider when coming up with their cost estimates.

Could I Try To Do the Work By Myself?

If you want to try doing the work yourself, you could rent a machine from a Washington equipment rental place.

If you think you have an easy job, maybe you could try doing it.

But if you are dealing with a big old stump, or it’s to the side of a slope or close to something, you should let an experienced person handle that.

Any grinder can get hazardous. It’s sharp and not a toy.

Use it carefully.

Is There Any Solution That Doesn’t Need a Big Machine?

You can buy a solution that may soften up a stump.

It can take several applications and some patience though.

If you have the patience to wait for the results, you can purchase the chemicals and pour them into long holes which you drilled into the trunk.

If the solution works, you’ll be able to one day split up parts of it with an axe as it softens.

Tall standing trunks are going to require multiple applications.

Before we had tree grinders, farmers would burn down their stumps.

It still works, but it isn’t very practical these days.

Most suburban homeowners aren’t in a position where they can do this.

It just isn’t a very sound option for them.
