Stump Removal in Walpole, MA

Most property owners probably agree that trees positioned throughout their property can provide a number of advantages throughout the various seasons, including shade and protection from the sun in the summer, snow and windbreaks in the winter, a perennial habitat for wildlife, and improved curb appeal when in full leaf. 

It will be crucial to remember that any tree removal procedure is essentially incomplete unless the tree stump is eliminated as well, should the need for tree removal arise. While some would question why a tree stump needs to be removed if it is buried underground. For many reasons, it is actually a fairly important step.

For any size tree, but particularly for larger or more mature trees with deep root systems, stump removal may be a particularly taxing and drawn-out procedure. Tree stump removal can be done in a variety of ways, each with a time and/or money cost that varies depending on the size of the stump and roots and the property owner's personal motivation; the most popular "how to" methods for removing a tree stump include:
​

• By Hand: Using a shovel to dig around the stump to reveal the roots, then using an axe to slice or slash the roots and swaying the tree stump back and forth to help it come out of the ground.
• Chemical Treatment: After drilling holes in the top and sides of the stump and filling them with water and potassium nitrate, the stump is chopped out with an axe after about six weeks, when it has become spongy. (a time-intensive method)
• Natural Methods: This approach is similar to chemical tree stump removal, with the exception that holes are filled with Epsom salts and a little water (possibly needing to be repeated every few weeks); the Epsom salts eventually cause the tree stump to become dehydrated, after which the stump is removed with an axe
• Machine (i.e., tree stump grinder) - The fastest and most effective way to remove a stump is with a power grinder; you may get this equipment from a rental shop, but it may be best to use a professional tree care service for safety and operator experience concerns.

When comparing and contrasting all of the aforementioned techniques, it seems that the machine (or tree stump grinder) method, used by knowledgeable experts like the crew at Flag Tree Service, would be the ideal choice for quick and effective tree stump removal. While some may argue that this is the tree stump removal approach with the highest expense, it is also the method that offers the best safety for homes as well as the most comprehensive eradication of the stump.
