Stump removal is an elaborate project, which is why you will often see an old tree stump remaining on many landscapes throughout Connecticut. It is not an easy process, which is why you should consider hiring a stump removal professional who will get the job done properly.
Connecticut Tree and Stump Removal Services
- Tree stumps are not attractive. The sight of an old rotting stump on your landscape can be considered a form of blight and is not very appealing. If you take pride in your property and are interested in maintaining a beautiful landscape, you should consider having the old stump removed.
- Tree stumps are dangerous and can present hazards on your property. If you have children running around your yard they can become a tripping hazard when they are camouflaged by grass, weeds and other plants. Tree stumps can also become a legal liability when you have guests and someone gets injured on your property. Another thing to consider is the damage a stump can cause to your lawn mowing machinery when they are accidentally mowed over.
- Tree Stumps attract insects and other pests that can inhabit your property. When a tree stump is left to slowly decay on your lawn, it will attract many different types of insects such as termites, ants, and beetles.

Tree stumps come in all shapes and sizes and may require different types of techniques and machinery for removal. Affordable Landscape and Tree Service are prepared to remove any type of stump that is blemishing your property and we possess the tools and methods to get the job done in an efficient manner. There are a variety of options available for tree stump removal, some are more cost effective than others. We have explained a few of the options below which we hope will assist you in choosing the stump removal method that will be the greatest preference for you.
- Dig the root of the tree out by hand. Utilizing a mattock, we can dig deeply around the root of the tree by hand until we locate the taproot. The taproot is the largest, most central, and most dominant root. Typically a taproot is somewhat straight and very thick, is tapering in shape, and grows directly downward. In plants with taproot systems, the taproot is the central root from which other roots sprout laterally. We possess all of the necessary tools, which will allow us to cut through the tap root, however thick and strong it may be. Once we have detached the taproot, we will lift the stump from the landscape and then immerse the hole with soil.
- Another option is to utilize a chemical compound, which will accelerate the decomposition process of your tree stump. Affordable Landscape and Tree service can select from several available stump removal chemicals that are best suited for your property, which will assist in the decaying of a tree stump. We will begin by drilling a series of holes in the stump. We will then continue to fill the holes with a suitable stump removal chemical and then add water to dissolve it. Finally, we cover the stump with a tarp or heavy layer of wet mulch to keep the moisture in. Stump removal by chemicals is a very inexpensive way to remove a stump from your property, however it can take a while before you see any results.
