Stump Removal Services

Stump removal is a service that ensures the complete extraction of tree stumps from your property. This service includes an initial assessment to evaluate the size, location, and condition of the stump. Our team then proceeds to uproot the entire stump along with its root system, ensuring no remnants are left behind. After the removal, we fill the resulting hole with soil and prepare the area for new landscaping or planting, followed by thorough clean-up and disposal of all debris.

Stump Removal vs. Stump Grinding

When considering stump removal or stump grinding in Wichita Falls, it’s important to understand the key differences. Stump removal involves extracting the entire stump and root system, preventing regrowth and ensuring no root remnants are left. This method, while more labor-intensive, leaves a larger hole that needs filling. Stump grinding, on the other hand, grinds the stump down to below ground level but leaves the root system intact. This method is less invasive and quicker but may leave roots that can decay over time, potentially attracting pests.

Benefits of Stump Removal

The long-term benefits of stump removal are substantial. By eliminating tripping hazards, it makes your yard safer for family and visitors. It also prevents pests from inhabiting decaying wood, reducing the risk of infestation in your home. We recommend tree pruning and tree trimming for pest prevention too… Additionally, clearing stumps frees up space for new landscaping projects, increasing the usability of your yard. Proper stump removal also prevents potential regrowth of the tree, ensuring that the problem does not happen again.
