Beyond the Cut: Does Tree Removal Include Stump Grinding in Calgary?

Introduction

You've decided a tree needs to go on your Calgary property. Now the question looms:  Does standard tree removal leave you with an unsightly and inconvenient stump?  The answer isn't a simple yes or no, but understanding stump grinding is essential for achieving a clean slate on your landscape and avoiding hidden costs.  Apex Tree Service LTD sheds light on this common question and why Calgary property owners trust us for comprehensive solutions.

Tree Removal vs. Stump Grinding – Two Separate Services

Most tree removal companies in Calgary consider these two separate services:

• Tree Removal: Cutting down the tree and removing the trunk and branches.
• Stump Grinding: Mechanically grinding the remaining stump below ground level.

Why Isn't Stump Grinding Always Included?

Here's why you may see separate pricing for stump grinding:

• Specialized Equipment: Grinding uses specific machinery that adds cost.
• Time and Labor: Removing a stump efficiently can be surprisingly labor-intensive.
• Client Choice: Some homeowners may only need the tree itself removed and have their own plans for the stump area.

Benefits of Professional Stump Grinding – Why It's Worth it

While optional, consider professional stump grinding from a company like Apex Tree for multiple advantages:

• Aesthetics: Stumps are eyesores, especially in manicured Calgary landscapes.
• Safety: Stumps are trip hazards and attract pests.
• New Uses: Grinding leaves the area ready for fresh grass, planting, or future projects.
• Long-Term Prevention: Stops sucker growth (the emergence of new sprouts from the root system).

• Remote Locations: Stumps in natural areas can break down naturally.
• DIY Plans: Do you have plans for integrating the stump, like using it as a planter or rustic feature?
• Specific Tree Species: Some species won't resprout and the stump might become less of a nuisance over time.

Important: Always Ask Your Tree Service for Clarification

To avoid confusion,  ask these questions when getting quotes:

• Does the removal price include stump grinding?
• How deep will the stump be ground below ground level?
• Will the grinding chips be removed or left on-site?
