Why Stump Removal Service Is Important

By Lucille Lamb


Stump removal service is offered by many companies on a professional capacity. There are many reasons why stumps must be removed from a place. Over time, there have been many techniques developed to perform this task more easily and conveniently. Various tools are required and all safety precautions must be taken into consideration.

The first reason is that they make an area unattractive and look ugly. That given location may not at all be used for any essential function like exercising, playing ground for children, and resting. The objects may cause serious injuries if one accidentally trips over them. As a result they are a source of risk and have to be done away with immediately.

Stump removal is the compulsory, final and complete stage of tree removal. This is because stubs may re-grow into another new tree. This may be inconvenient if the area should not be having trees. Trees which re-grow from stumps are always not strong at all. For this reason they may collapse on buildings that are close to in case of strong winds. That may be unsafe to both the property and individuals in the building.

The most worse effect of stumps is their ability to attract termites infestation. Termites are ever on the moving in search for water and food. If they get tree stumps, they make them their homes and begin breeding. They feed on stubs and the leaking taps within a home can worsen the infestation. When the stub is finished they migrate to other places preferably inside the house to look for more food.

The tool that is mostly used for stump removal is the stump grinder. The grinder is equipped with a cutting blade which is made of very sharp teeth. It rotates at a very high speed and removes the wood by chipping it. It needs some expertise in handling it in order to achieve the best results, fast and securely. Grinders vary in size from small models that are hand-held to large models that are hauled by trucks.

While using grinders, one has to ensure that they are rotating prior to placing it directly over the stub. The stub has to be divided into parts so that a single section is finished before proceeding to the rest. One should follow a given order while chipping the wood. The area within the stubs should be cleared of all debris or dirt prior to starting the job.

Safety wears and tools have to be used in the whole process. The major pieces of equipment required for the work include goggles, boots, hand gloves, and aprons. The work of the goggles is to protect the eyes from flying pieces whereas the feet are protected from sharp objects on the ground by boots. Cuts and blisters can be avoided by wearing gloves. The body and clothes are kept clean by aprons.

Stump removal service matters a lot and there is need for one to be very careful while doing it. In the event of small stumps, one may remove it by themselves. Though, if the stubs are too large and deep rooted, seeking the services of a professional firm would be the best option.
