When you decide to remove a tree from your yard, whether that is an emergency removal or a choice you make, you'll be left with a stump. While it isn't necessary to have the removal service perform a tree grinder service as well, it's usually a good idea.
Let's take a look at why a professional tree grinder will help make your yard look the best it can.

What Is Tree Grinding?In order to remove the stump left behind, a special piece of equipment, called a tree grinder, must be used.

Professionals will have the expertise and the equipment necessary to remove tree stumps left behind after a tree removal.

AestheticsThe first reason a professional tree grinder will help your yard is that it will improve your yard's overall look. Tree stumps aren't very pretty, and they can stick out like a sore thumb when in a beautiful, lush yard.

Getting rid of old (often rotting) stumps will do wonders for your yard's aesthetic.
SpaceNot only will getting rid of tree stumps make your yard look better, but it will also free up space in your yard. You can then fill those spaces with things that will actually make your yard look good, like other plants, statues, fountains, or even new trees.

Freeing up space in your yard by hiring a professional tree grinder to remove stumps would be especially important for those who have smaller yards. If you already are pressed for space, it doesn't make sense to let an ugly stump take up a significant amount of that space.

SafetyBesides the aesthetic reasons to hire a professional tree grinder service to remove stumps, there is also the issue that tree stumps can be hazardous. It can sometimes be hard to see stumps, especially if they are rather small or they are obstructed by plants or grass.

Imagine what could happen if your kids were running around in the yard, didn't see a stump, and hurt themselves by tripping over it. And it's not just kids who could be hurt by tree stumps: anyone who doesn't see it or doesn't remember it's there could be injured.

Getting a tree grinder to remove any tree stumps in your yard can save you and your family from serious injury.

Stumps Can Attract Unwanted PestsWhen you remove a tree and leave the stump behind, it essentially kills the tree stump. This leads to the wood of the tree stump to begin to rot and decay.

Decaying wood can attract pests like a myriad of different insects, including termites, ants, and various kinds of beetles. Leaving a rotting stump will be like leaving a bug magnet in your yard.

Rotting wood can also be an excellent place for fungus and molds to grow, which can be a health hazard for your family.

A tree stump can become the home for all of these unwanted pests, which can then attract other unwanted guests. Skunks, snakes, and mice are known to visit rotten wood in order to find easy prey that lives there.

Keeping old, rotten stumps can lead to your yard becoming a haven for these unwanted pests. Do you really want skunks, termites, and snakes to take up a residence so close to your home?

A professional tree grinder can prevent this from happening by removing the stumps.
Leaving a Stump Can Lead to Tree GrowthThe whole point of removing a tree is to do just that -- remove it. Leaving behind the stump can actually lead to new tree sprouts growing, which kind of defeats the purpose of tree removal.

Not only that, but the numerous new tree sprouts that can grow up from a tree stump left behind don't look very good. They can make your yard look messy and unkempt.
Removing the tree stump would prevent this from happening.

CostAnother downside to these new tree shoots is that their removal can get costly. Sometimes simply removing the new sprouts doesn't solve the problem, and they will continue to grow back. This leads to many rounds of removal and potentially needing to use harsh chemicals to kill them off.

All of this can get quite expensive, especially if you have to go through the removal process multiple times.

Yard HealthThe numerous new sprout that can grow out of an old tree stump will require a lot of water and nutrients as they grow.

This ends up leeching the soil of nutrients that other plants in your garden need to support these unwanted tree sprouts. And if you need to use harsh chemicals to get rid of the sprouts, this can also harm other plants in your yard.

Because of this, leaving a tree stump behind can actually be detrimental to your yard's health.

A way to avoid all of these negative effects from new tree sprouts is to simply remove any tree stumps in your yard with a tree grinder.

A Professional Tree Grinder Will Improve Your YardWhile tree stumps might seem innocuous, we've seen how they can be detrimental to your yard in a number of ways. Between the overall look of your yard, the health hazards, your yard's health, and even pest control, old tree stumps can have a significant effect on your yard.

What's that saying about "if a tree falls in the woods and no ones around to hear it - does it still make a sound"?


Well, when you don't live in the woods and a tree falls or is about to fall - you can bet there will be some noise as well as a giant headache!


Basic tree removal is not a huge deal when it comes to taking care of small trees and shrubs on your property. However, taking care of emergency tree removal issues can be a nightmare if you try to tackle the task yourself.


There are a number of reasons why you should allow a team of professionals to help you successfully, and carefully, remove any burdensome trees from your property.


Take a look at these top 5 reasons why tree removal should be left to a team of experts.


Reasons To Leave Emergency Tree Removal To The Professionals
SafetyProbably the most important reason why tree services and removal should be left to a team of experts is due to safety.


Many homeowners that are relatively familiar with using their chainsaws and pole saws think they can tackle any and every tree on their own. However, this is when the biggest accidents can happen.


Professional tree and lawn companies know exactly how to prepare for a number of different situations and issues that could arise.


Surrounding Area
There are plenty of times when we've probably taken a look at our trees and thought we could easily handle the trimming or removal process. Then we actually start the project and realize that we are overwhelmed with how to get these trees down and removed.


When trimming or cutting a tree, especially one that could really benefit from emergency tree removal services, the location of the tree is a huge factor to consider.


If we cut a tree in the wrong place it can fall to the wrong side. Making a mistake like this could result in quite a bit of damage to your property or your neighbor's property. Even worse, you could cause serious harm to anyone on the wrong side of that tree.


Hiring an expert to take care of any emergency tree removal needs eliminates this potential hazard. Knowing exactly where a tree will fall and ensuring that it falls in that specific direction is best kept to trained professionals.


Also, you want to make sure that you aren't removing a tree that requires a permit for removal or a tree that is locally protected in your state and your geographic location.


Expertise
If you spring a leak in your home you don't typically call an electrician. If you are like many people, you assess the situation and if warranted, you call a plumber to help fix the issue.


The same applies for an emergency tree removal situation. If you have a tree that is a potential threat or danger, you call for the professionals. Large, imposing trees can turn incredibly dangerous in an instant, especially during wind storms or even large amounts of rain.


Make sure to ask around and do some research before settling on a tree or lawn service. If you have a downed tree or a tree that's about to fall, get some quotes from companies that have great word-of-mouth recommendations.


A great place to start is via the web. Google and HomeAdvisor reviews tend to be the most popular, but simply searching "tree removal company reviews near me" can provide a wealth of knowledge to help you make a good decision.


Equipment
Most homeowners don't have the necessary equipment to correctly remove a tree from their property. In fact, most of the time we don't have enough room in our yards even cut down a tree without doing some kind of damage.


Professional tree companies and lawn maintenance companies have the equipment to cater to a ton of different tree situations. They have the heavy duty chainsaws, pole saws, and even those crane lift buckets.


Also, these types of companies have professional climbers that do exactly what their name implies - they climb. Working with an expert team, professional tree companies can bring down a 100+ foot tree with ease finesses.


Insurance
Very few insurance companies cover a DIY approach to emergency tree removal.


If you have a huge tree that you try to tackle with an electric chainsaw and it comes crashing through your front window, you'll probably be left with a hefty bill. Not only will you need to pay for whatever damage your lacking tree removal skills may have caused, but you'll probably have to pay for a professional tree company to fix the situation.


If you are looking for a tree company to remove trees from your property, make sure they are insured. This way, if a tree comes crashing down and causes some damage along the way, you will not be stuck with the bill. A fully licensed and insured tree company is the absolute best safeguard in a potential emergency tree removal situation.


Down To The Cut
Whether you need some smaller trees or shrubs taken care of on your property, or you have massive imposing trees that seem to be a threat to your family or your home - consider calling in some qualified professionals.


If you have a situation that validates the need for emergency tree removal, please do not try to take care of the situation yourself. Trees are bigger than they look and when they fall - they can create massive damage.


Not sure if you have any trees that are about to create some drama on your property?
A great idea is to have a professional tree company come take a look. Most companies or services will gladly come to your home and give a free estimate. Plus, they'll walk your property and help you assess which trees may need to be removed as well as which may just need to be trimmed or pruned.

Just because hardware stores and Amazon have some great deals on chainsaws doesn't mean that you should try to tackle an emergency tree removal situation.
Leave it to the professionals to chop that tree!
