Do I have to grind an old tree stump?

• <div><p>We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-kill-tree-stump.htm">killing a tree stump</a>, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.</p><p>Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.</p></div>

Is stump removal worth it?

• <div><p>Yes, stump removal is worth the investment. It costs an average of <b>$400</b> to remove a stump, but you will likely avoid other more expensive issues, such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpenter-ants-vs-termites.htm">termite and carpenter ant infestations</a>, which can cost upward of <b>$1,500</b> to treat professionally. If termites or ants attack the rotting stump—and they likely will—they could move to your primary structure after the stump is consumed. So, you could incur structural damage to your home as a result, which is even more costly and potentially dangerous.</p></div>

Can I decorate or carve a remaining stump?

• <div><p>We recommended <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-removal.htm">removing the tree stump</a> because it can create many of the same problems as a dead, decaying tree. Those stumps can rot over time, creating an attraction for bugs, fungi, and other unwelcome yard guests.</p><p>If your tree specialist says that a hardwood tree is in excellent condition, you may be able to use the stump as a decoration for years to come. However, it’s still important to keep an eye on it, and arrange to remove the stump if it starts to show significant signs of decay.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take tree stumps to decompose?

• <div><p>It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. </p></div>

Q: What time of year should a tree be cut down?

• <div><p>The dormant season between winter and late spring, when all the leaves have fallen off, is the best time of year to cut down a tree. Frozen earth is actually preferable for tree removal because it won&rsquo;t disturb the surrounding landscape as much as it would if you removed the tree during warmer months. </p></div>

They showed up the same day as I contacted them. They removed the tree at a slightly lower rate than another estimate. Clean up was amazing. It looked like they vacuumed the yard.

I was able to put air into the tire and get it to their shop. They helped me right away. I was expecting to be informed that I would need new tires but they said that the tire had a nail in it. They removed the nail and repaired it. I was on my way with no worries. Thank You.
