Stump Removal

 Stump Removal Emergency Cost

Have you in recent times had a tree removed from your home or yard but not the stump? Maybe the tree fell during bad weather and after the tree was removed the stump is the only remaining thing. In most cases, tree removal does not include the stamp removal. Stump removal involves a completely different set of tools and equipment and in most cases tree removal service providers sub-contract another service provider to do the job. It is important to seek the services of a professional when it comes to emergency stump removal.

Emergency stump removal cost is never included in the tree limb removal costs. In case you want the stump to be removed as well, you will be required to pay extra for the service. However, in most cases, it costs between $60 and $300 to remove a single stump. This depends on the tree, the service provider, the state you reside in and so many other factors.

Stump removal is essential because of the following reasons:

They can create new growth

Since the roots of the original tree are still intact and in the ground, they can stimulate new growth. If not removed in due course, you might start seeing new sprouts coming of the trunk. If completely ignored, these sprouts can become a tree and still pose the same problem that existed before. Therefore emergency stump removal is necessary. 

Roots can cause injuries 

Since the tree stump still bears roots, these roots can become a problem. The roots can block sewer lines, destroy pipes in their path, can crack paved walkways and even trip people when they walk by. Therefore, removal of tree tramps will prevent all these and other problems from happening.

Can become home to pests and rodents

When a tree stump rots or decays, it can attract pests and rodents. It is essential to point out that certain insects and rodents like eating decaying wood and in the process make the stump their home. If this goes unnoticed, the pests and rodents will start heading towards your home and causing problems to you and your family which includes diseases. Therefore, you should remove stumps from your home as soon as possible.

They take up space and are just ugly 

 

Tree stumps are eye sores. They make your yard or home ugly as they affect the landscape. On top of that, they take up space. In most cases you will not start a project in an area where there is a tree stump. They also cause problems when mowing your lawn as they are hard to maneuver around with a mowing machine.
