Like the tip of an iceberg, there's much more to stump removal
than meets the eye.
The roots of a tree can go far and wide, and in the right (or wrong) circumstance, the stump can cause havoc on your property - whether from new growth of invasive species from the root mass, or potential issues from rot that can spread to other living organisms.
We offer both stump grinding and complete stump removal, root and - in order to give you a great choice of options as well as offer all potential solutions to any of your tree related woes.
Depending on the size and type of the felled tree, stumps can range from rather small to several feet wide and may extend up to 10 feet or more throughout your yard.
Lateral roots are often as long as the largest tree limbs, if not longer, and can extend outward up to 50 feet or more.
If you want to grasp an idea of what the roots below the tree look like, picture your tree like it were your lungs - what you see above ground is often reflected in the pattern of root growth, just like how our left lung mirrors our right lung.
