Ridding your lawn of a large, unsightly tree stump can seem difficult if you’re unfamiliar with the two main processes that tree stump removal services in D/FW offer. If it’s your first time trying to go about removing a tree stump from your lawn, you might do a quick Google search for “how to get rid of a tree stump” or “how to remove a tree stump.”
You will find that “tree stump removal” and “tree stump grinding,” while similar, are two very different techniques that differ in both result and cost. Find out which process is right for your lawn.
Tree stump grinding involves stump grinders—machines that can easily demolish a tree stump without having to uproot your entire lawn. A tree stump is cut to be level with your lawn, then the rest of the stump is ground down to various depths (depending on whether or not another tree is going to be replanted) with the efficient stump grinders. For a professional stump grinding company in Dallas, TX, this process can be extremely quick.
Stump grinding has benefits that tree stump removal does not: is much cheaper, does not involve nearly as much work or time, and no large, damaging special equipment.
Tree stump removal consists of taking out a tree trunk—stump and all—along with the knotty root ball of the tree. This technique is fairly time and labor-intensive, as when tree roots grow they tend to interconnect and lock together with other tree roots many feet underground. These roots can even extend into a neighbors’ yard! Therefore, if the stump being removed belonged to a larger tree, the root ball can end up being enormous, many times the size of the actual tree. That’s why tree stump removal can be a very expensive service.
It also leaves a large scar or hole in your yard, considering the interlocking nature of the root ball.
