After a tree is removed, it is common to forget about stump removal in Auckland. To avoid extra time and money many people leave stumps as they are. However, stumps can cause some serious issues in your garden. Our trained arborists are the experts in stump and tree removal as well as tree trimming in Auckland and the North shore.
Reasons for stump removal
Some might wonder why they should remove their stump, it looks harmless and seems to have no repercussions. This is not all true, there are many reasons that prompt stump removal, such as:
- Health and safety – Tree stumps can become serious hazards to people and equipment such as lawnmowers which are costly to replace. They can become so overgrown that they are no longer visible, making them potentially dangerous.
- Avoid infestations – Old and decaying wood provides the perfect habitat for pests and diseases. Populations grow on dead branches and stumps which could potentially move on to your home and the rest of your garden. Even if the majority of the tree is gone, stumps should be removed to avoid such pests.
- Stop regrowth – The stump may produce shoots. This can cause a new tree to grow which may be undesirable.
- Land clearance and aesthetics – Removing all obstructions are necessary for land development such as replanting young trees, paving or building. This can also make way for any projects you have for your garden. Rotting stumps are also eyesores that may undermine the look you were after in your garden.

Methods
Removal and stump grinding in Auckland and the North shore both come with their pros and cons. Deciding which to go with all depends on what you have in store for the land in the future.
Stump grinding is much less intensive. A certified arborist in Auckland and the North shore uses a grinder to shred the stump into wood chips which provides mulch that is great for plants. It is more efficient, however, it leaves behind the roots of the tree. If you are not considering replanting the area, then this is not an issue.
The tree stump removal process is the more intrusive of the two. In this process, a stump is heaved out of the ground as well as all the roots. This is a very complex and long process, requiring the correct skills and equipment. When this process is over, all remnants of the stump are gone, however, a hole is present until it is filled. This method leaves space to undertake whatever garden endeavour that is next on your agenda.
