Stump Grinding in Gretna
Because we live in Louisiana, we have often seen our properties get blasted with hurricanes like Katrina, Rita, or Ida. After these storms, thousands of trees are cut down, leaving the remaining stumps all over our region, in our businesses and personal residences.
Sometimes it wasn’t a hurricane that was responsible for the tree being cut down; it was, instead, a diseased or decaying tree that had to be cut down; or it might have been removed in order to clear the land for a some project. Whatever the reason, it is always better to remove a stump, if you possibly can. (See some of the reasons below) If you need someone to come out to look at a stump, please feel free to call us at (504) 315-1704, or fill out the form below and we’ll come and evaluate the size of it, and then give you a free estimate for its removal. We offer several different techniques, including stump grinding. |

Why Should I Remove the Stump?
When a tree begins to decay, it becomes a danger, especially when it is located near property or people. This is why most home owners will decide to have the tree removed.
After this process, the stump is left over.
Although the stump often gets left there and often forgotten, it is always better to remove it, when at all possible.
Here are a few of the advantages to having the stump removed:
1) It improves the look of your property. There is nothing beautiful about a leftover stump in the yard. At best, it look like an unfinished project, something still waiting to be done.
2) It reduces the risk of pests on your property. When wood begins to decay, pests like ants, wasps or termites come to make a home. In the case of termites, they WILL try to spread to other healthy trees, and even your home. Eliminating the stump is a great way to remove this hazard.
If you need us to come out to take a look at your situation, give us a call and ask about our stump removal and stump grinding services. We’d be happy to come out and evaluate your situation, and then give you a free estimate.
3) It gives you back your space. As long as it is sitting there, there is just no way to use the space. Gardens, flag football games with the kids, or new building projects are all put on hold. When you have it removed, you reclaim the space that is currently be occupied by the stump.
4) It reduces frustration. A stump is a stubborn irritation – you must avoid it with the lawnmower or other equipment, tell your kids to be careful not to trip over it, etc. Getting rid of it reduces all of these frustrations.
5) It reduces the risk of roots growing into pipes, or messing with the foundation. After a tree has been cut down, the roots can continue to grow and cause damage underneath.
6) It improves the overall health and sanitation of your property. Many of the existing stumps were part of a tree that cut down because of disease. What many people do not know, is that the disease can remain in the roots, even after the tree has been cut down. This disease can spread into other healthy trees, gardens, and plants.

Different Methods of Stump Removal:
1) Complete removal. If the tree wasn’t too large, it might be possible to just dig out the stump altogether. In this case, our team will use some specific tools and expertise to dig the whole thing out of the ground. When a tree is larger, this becomes a fairly expensive option. That is where stump grinding can be a better option (see next point)
2) Stump Grinding. If the roots go too far down, another great option for you is stump grinding. This is a very effective AND cost saving way to get the job done. For this reason it is a very popular option for our customers.
3) Chemical Removal. This technique involves drilling holes into the stump and then pouring a mix of chemicals in order to weaken it. We let it sit for several weeks, during which time the stump weakens and begins decay rapidly. We will then come out and remove it.
Whether we use stump grinding or some other method will depend on your particular needs and goals.
