Removal or Grinding Jobs

Most tree stumps are removed through a grinding process.

Grinding is the process of using a mobile machine with a sharp blade and carefully dicing an old tree and roots until it is cut down to a pile of wood chips.

But sometimes large roots stretch under a sidewalk or driveway or even into the foundation of a home and cause problems.

These roots have to come out.

Most of the work has to be done in a spot where a machine can’t get to, so it winds up being a mostly manual operation.

Taking those roots out takes more time and will be a more complicated project to do.

Cost of Stump Removal or Grinding in Tacoma WA

Maybe it’s time for an estimate.

The leading pricing issue is the length of time the work should take to complete.

And how long it will take is largely dependent on the diameter of the tree and the roots.

There might be other variables too. Exactly where the old tree is located can be important.

For a more complex removal project, cost mainly depends on how hard it’s going to be to carry out.

Most cut trees are in the middle of a yard and can be handled by using a grinder.

Others have grown in a congested spot and their long roots have stretched into places they shouldn’t have.

A tree which has recently been blown down in a storm is often harder to take care of than a really old stump is.

That’s particularly true if the tree is still partially attached to the roots.

More than half of the elimination jobs which occur around these suburbs are carried out by companies or individuals that don’t do many jobs other than this type.

But a lot of homeowners call general landscaping companies who will do the job.

These crews have the experience to get it done also.

Both kinds of businesses could help you out.

What is This Procedure Like?

The procedure begins with your team moving their machine into place.

They turn it on and begin steadily cutting away at the trunk and the exposed roots on the surface.

It doesn’t transpire immediately. It should take some time to finish.

When it’s over, the remains of your tree have become a big pile of soft wood chips.

At the end, there will generally be an impression where the tree once was.

You might want a little new dirt.

A Few Questions You Might Get Asked

• Is it on a slope or level ground?
• Is it easy to get to?
• What are the dimensions of this stump?
• Is there something up against it – like a fence or other structure?
• Are there long roots that go beneath a walkway or driveway?
• Has the tree been down for a long time or recently cut?

After they become familiar with your situation, they will tell you their plan on how to get it addressed.

Should I Try it Myself?

If you would like to try doing it by yourself, there is an outdoor equipment rental store near you that will rent you a grinder.

You just have to go get it and then do the work.

If your project sounds somewhat easy – if it’s just the remains of a modest tree in the center of your front yard – maybe it won’t be very hard.

But a major-sized tree, or one on a slope, ought to be left to someone who has the training and experience to do it.

There is some risk involved here.

The cutting wheel is tremendously sharp and turns quickly. Pieces of bark, roots and earth can be projected around. Be careful.

Could I Burn it Up or Try Some Chemicals?

If you are patient, you can purchase chemicals which will gradually soften a fallen tree trunk if you apply it correctly and wait long enough.

First you get the chemical, then you drill a great deal of deep holes.

You drop the chemical into these holes. Your goal is to soften that old trunk up.

Your aim is to help it to decompose to the extent where it’s one day pliable enough to split apart with an axe or spade.

You typically have to wait quite a while for it to work.

If you know what you are doing and you aren’t living around other people, burning could still do the job.

In most areas of our city, most property owners don’t consider it as a very reasonable choice.
