You’ve had the tree cut down. The hard part’s over, right? Not quite. If the stump is still sitting in your yard, there’s one more important step to take—and it’s not just about looks. At Forest Tree Service LLC, we’ve been helping homeowners in Kingwood and Houston clean up their yards for over 30 years, and we can tell you: leaving a stump behind often leads to more trouble than it’s worth.
Let’s break down why getting rid of that old tree stump matters—and how we take care of it quickly, cleanly, and safely.
What Happens If You Leave a Stump Behind?
- It Attracts Unwanted Guests – A rotting stump is like an open invitation to pests. Termites, ants, beetles, and even fungi love to nest in old wood—and once they’ve settled in, it’s not long before they start exploring other parts of your yard…or your home. Removing the stump gets rid of their welcome mat.
- It’s Easy to Trip Over – Even small stumps are a tripping hazard, especially for kids running around or older adults who may not see them. They can also be a pain when you’re mowing or working in the yard—one wrong move and you’ve banged up your equipment or your foot.
- It Can Start Growing Again – Yep, that dead-looking stump might not be done. Many stumps send up new shoots, leading to weird clusters of scraggly growth that are hard to control. It’s not a fresh tree—it’s just a headache.
- It Clutters Up Your Yard – Want to plant something new? Add a walkway? Build a flower bed? That stump is in the way. And if you’re thinking about selling your home, a lingering stump can be an eyesore that drags down curb appeal.
Our Approach to Stump Removal
At Forest Tree Service LLC, we don’t just cut the tree and leave the rest behind. When it comes to stump removal, we handle the job from start to finish with the right tools and plenty of know-how.
We Start with a Plan
Every yard is different. We’ll look at the size of the stump, where it’s located, and whether roots are close to structures or underground utilities. This helps us come up with the safest, most efficient way to remove it.
Then We Grind It Down
Our stump grinder makes quick work of the problem. It shreds the stump below ground level, turning the wood into mulch so you’re not left with a crater. Grinding is fast, effective, and doesn’t leave you with a massive hole to fill.
We Handle the Cleanup
Once the stump is gone, we clean up all the wood chips and debris. We can also bring in fresh topsoil or smooth out the area so you’re ready for grass, planting, or whatever plans you have in mind.
