WHY REMOVE YOUR STUMPS?
A stump and it’s roots can remain alive long after the tree is cut down, continuing to grow and cause damage to its surrounding concrete/landscaping and underground plumbing. Once the stump is ground, roots are unable to survive without it, and simply die and break down into the soil. Rotting wood is the perfect environment for insects and often becomes home to termites, ants and even underground wasp nests. Eliminating the stump stops these infestations before they can occur. That stump you clip with the lawn mower, or catch your toe on can be easily removed with our equipment in no time, with no future maintenance required.
WHAT IS A STUMP GRINDER?
A stump grinder is a powerful machine expertly designed to quickly and efficiently break down tree stumps into small wood chips. They have a wheel with hard “teeth” that spins at an incredible rate and chips away at the surface of the stump until it is ground away. Stumps aren’t always in convenient and easy to reach places, for this reason there are different types of stump grinders designed for specific requirements, access, stump size etc. In addition to typical tree stump removals, we can also help with hedge removals and palm tree removals in Auckland – get in touch with us to find out how we can help
