Common Reasons for Stump Grinding

Diseased Stump Removal

Trees take a lot of time and care to grow into mature, healthy, beautiful contributions to your landscape aesthetics. Watching a tree that you have cared for and helped mature become infected with a disease and even die is tough. Trees, just like people, can get diseases and become sick. Infectious tree mold and diseases can spread quickly and can wipe out your entire tree population.

Rotting tree stumps are perfect habitats for mold, fungus, and diseases to grow. Leaving tree stumps on your property can be dangerous to every other tree and plant that you have. Infectious tree diseases, just like in humans, can spread quickly and infect an entire area.

The money you will pay to get a stump removed can save you thousands in the long run by not having to pay for treatments or replacements for every other tree and plant on your property. That’s why choosing professional tree stump grinding services in Portland, OR is so important.

Making sure that you remove a stump on your property is not something that should be put off. Call Monkeyman’s Tree Service in Portland, OR today and get a stump grinding quote. We will remove your stump and leave you with peace of mind that the rest of your trees are safe from infections that lurk in rotting stumps. A customer service representative is standing by waiting to talk with you about your stump.

Infested Stump Grinding

The biggest danger by far that stumps pose to your property is that they can quickly become infested with bugs.  As a stump rots and softens it becomes the perfect home for many unpleasant things. Allowing an infestation to take up residence on your property can be a big mistake. Termites, carpenter ants, and bees are the main culprits in the Portland OR, area. An infestation starting out in a dead stump can quickly move to your home or to other healthy trees on the property. Insects like this can cause an unfathomable amount of damage if not caught early. These are not things you want anywhere near your home! Oregon and Washington’s carpenter ant population is the worst offender. They absolutely love rotting stumps this is the perfect habitat for them. They will destroy your home’s structure from the inside out.

Mowing Around the Stump

It can take up to 10 years depending on the stump for it to decay all the way.  Think seriously about how many times you will mow your yard over the course of 10 years. It’s a lot. When you mow around a stump it is impossible to get up close to the stump. What this means is that you will either have to weed eat around the stump each time you mow your yard or leave the grass. If you chose to leave the grass growing around your stump it will make your yard look even worse than just the stump and it will also become a hazard because you won’t be able to see the stump and can trip over it. Having Monkeyman’s tree service perform quick stump removal for you will be well worth it in future time and effort you would have spent weed eating and mowing around the stump and the possible injury liability potential. Clients of ours are regularly surprised at how inexpensive it can be to have us come out and perform a stump grinding service on your stumps. Your stumps will be removed quickly and leave you with a yard that you can be proud of. You have better things to do than mow around that stump!

Tripping Hazards

You would not believe the number of people who have hurt themselves tripping over a leftover stump in their yard after tree removal. At night or in limited visibility they can be hard to see and can cause serious injury. Often because stumps are hard to mow around there is tall grass surrounding the stumps which further the danger that they present to your property. There is a good chance that you know where the stumps on your property are and you avoid them. The problem often occurs when there are others visiting your property that are less familiar with your dead decaying tree stump placements. It can end up being a big liability for you and your family. The last thing that you want is to be involved in a lawsuit because you didn’t remove a simple stump off your property. Call Monkeyman’s Tree Service today. We will make quick work of any stump on your property.

Creating Usable Ground

When you remove a stump from your property, one of the things that it does is creates usable ground so you can plant something new. When stump grinding is performed correctly the stump is ground down well below the surface of the ground. This allows new root systems to thrive even the root systems of another tree. Stump grinding provides a chemical-free way of removing your stump quickly and without much hassle so that you can plant a new landscape. If the stump was in the middle of the yard stump grinding allows you to cover the place that the stump was immediately with dirt and plant grass. It will grow with no hassle over the place the stump was.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Tree Services

In most cases, yes. You will need a permit to remove a tree in the city of Portland.

During an estimate we will review the tree that needs to be removed, the conditions of the terrain, the condition of the tree, the accessibility of the tree, the equipment that may or may not be needed, and the total price of the tree removal.

We can give you an estimate for the tree removal that includes debris removal or we can provide you with a tree removal estimate that allows you to care for the wood after the job is complete.

Yes.

We carry copies of our insurance and license on each tree removal job. However, the best way to verify whether a company has insurance, or not, is to call the insurance agent directly, or to request a copy that is made out to you with your name on it and the current date.

In any case, we are happy to provide you with a copy of our insurance coverage, bond, and Oregon or Washington Contractors license.

The cost of a tree removal depends on a number of factors, namely; the height of the tree, the risks involving the condition of the tree, the terrain, and the accessibility of the tree.

An 80 foot tree sandwiched between 2 multi-million dollar homes on a cliff side containing 18 bees nests is going to cost a bit more than a 10 foot apple tree in the middle of a field (and no bees nests).

The time in which it takes to remove a tree depends on many of the same conditions that determine the cost of a tree removal, like the height, conditions and accessibility of the tree.

Most average to small trees can be removed, chipped, and hauled away in 3-6 hours. Larger trees that require climbing, are hard to access, and are very large, may take a day or two. Either way, we will give you an estimated time before we begin work to make sure that we are all on the same page.
