Benefits of Professional Stump Removal
A tree removal cannot be said to be truly complete unless the stump is removed. Besides the aesthetic benefits of having a stump removed, there are several safety and health advantages to removing a stump through the use of professional stump grinding for your Minnesota landscape.
- Removes termites, ants, and beetles from nesting sites: Termites, carpenter ants, and beetles are attracted to rotting wood and will nest in it. Therefore, if you remove the stump, you remove their primary nesting site, so they won’t migrate from your yard into your home’s foundation.
- Eliminates tripping hazards: A stump can create a tripping hazard, especially if it’s covered with grass or snow. The liability risk is eliminated through the professional removal of the stump, so you can ensure that your guests and family members can move about your yard safely.
- Eases the process of maintaining your lawn: It is frustrating to have to mow and weed-whack around a stump. If you remove the stump, you’ll be able to mow and maintain your lawn continuously, which will make your weekly lawn maintenance much quicker and more efficient.
- Eliminates new sprouts of new trees: Some local tree species will grow again from the roots of an existing tree. This type of sprout growth is called “suckers,” and it is very difficult to kill them. They also compete for the same nutrients as the surrounding plants and are likely to grow back after being cut off. Grinding the stump down to a depth far enough to destroy all of the roots will prevent this from happening.
- Prevents mold and decay from spreading through the soil: When a stump begins to decay, it becomes a breeding ground for various types of fungi and molds. These can spread to the root systems of nearby healthy trees. Our grinding process thoroughly cleans the area of the fungus and mold spores that cause soil-borne diseases.
- Creates additional space for grass, plants, or other trees: Stumps take up a lot of real estate on your lawn that could be used to plant new flowers, vegetables, or even a new patch of sod. After we grind the stump into mulch, you can once again utilize all of the available space in your yard, allowing your yard to develop as you see fit.
- Increases safety for children and pets: Children and pets often do not pay attention to where they’re walking, which makes stumps a potential hazard in your yard. Removing the stump makes your yard safer for both children and pets because it creates a level, predictable surface for them to run and play.
- Adds a clean, polished finish to your yard: There is nothing worse than looking at a beautiful lawn and seeing a weathered, rotting stump that disrupts its visual flow. We provide the finishing touches to give your yard a clean, polished appearance, which will boost your curb appeal and give your property in New Brighton a well-maintained, professional appearance.

When Should You Remove a Stump?
Generally, deciding how to handle a tree stump involves weighing the safety benefits of its removal against aesthetic and long-term environmental impacts on your property. Although an old stump may appear to be a minor problem, a tree stump can create many other problems as it settles deeper into the earth, the longer it remains there. We recommend hiring a professional to have your tree stump removed if any of the following occur:
- The stump attracts insects: Generally, a stump that is rotting out serves as a “Welcome mat” to the wood-boring insect community (termites, carpenter ants, beetles). As soon as these insects establish a colony in your yard, it is only a matter of time until they begin to explore the foundation of your home and other wooden components of your home.
- Kids and/or pets frequently play near the stump: Safety is a top concern for families. Stumps are notorious for hiding behind high grasses and/or light layers of snow, creating a hazardous obstacle course on your lawn that will undoubtedly result in numerous slips and falls. By removing the stump, you can create a flat, slip-free area for kids and pets to safely play.
- You wish to seed new grass: Grass cannot grow evenly across a stump. In fact, even if you lay a small amount of soil atop the stump, the grass will eventually turn yellow/brown and die as the wood below it continues to decompose and leaches the nitrogen from the soil. Grinding the stump allows you to prepare your soil deeply so that you can establish a lush, healthy turf.
- You would like to have a smoother lawn: For homeowners who take pride in having a smooth and level lawn, a stump represents a permanent defect. When you remove a stump, you can re-grade the area to ensure that your yard looks as perfectly uniform as possible from all directions.
- Roots are heaving your sidewalks/driveways: Since the roots of a tree do not cease to function after the tree has been cut down, you could still experience problems associated with the continued expansion/contraction of remaining root systems. The shifting/expanding roots can buckle pavement, crack driveways, or damage underground utilities.
- You find the stump unsightly: A weathered gray stump can greatly detract from the curb appeal of your home. Whether you plan to sell your home or simply desire to appreciate the beauty of your exterior space, removing the stump will provide an immediate cosmetic improvement to your entire outdoor space.
- It interferes with mowing/landscaping: Attempting to navigate a large, heavy lawnmower through your yard while avoiding a stump is both a chore and a recipe for disaster if you accidentally cut either the wood of the stump or a service root. With the obstacle removed, you will be able to mow in straight lines efficiently without worrying about damaging your equipment.
- The stump continues to produce new sprouts: Many types of plants in New Brighton will continue to produce “suckers” or “sprouts” from the trunk or roots of the stump. Not only are suckers unsightly, but they are also extremely difficult to kill using manual methods since the stump acts as a massive, established source of energy for the sucker shoots.
As a stump ages, it typically becomes much harder to remove than it was when it was first cut down, due to the increased resistance of the wood and its integration into the surrounding soil. It is generally most beneficial to remove stumps early to avoid future infestation by pests and structural damage to your property.
