Stump grinder
Stump grubbing consists of removing the stump from the soil. We have the necessary equipment to perform this task while respecting the environment and not damaging your land.
Why stump grubbingBut why proceed with the grubbing, you may ask? After all, a stump brings a rustic touch to your yard. It might be tempting, for example, to put a flowerpot in it. However, a stump can bring you a lot of trouble.

Carpenter ants and other undesirables
Carpenter ants love to nest in a decaying stump because it is an ideal living environment for them. Even if the stump on your property is quite far from your home, it still represents a risk if carpenter ants have nested there. Carpenter ants tend to create satellite nests around the main nest. Sometimes they move up to 80 meters from the nest. It is also good to know that a tree stump that houses a nest of ants or any other insect is an attractive pantry for unwanted animals such as skunks and raccoons for example.
Tree regrowth
Since we don't see them, we tend to forget that under the ground there is a vast network of roots that for years have nourished the tree that has been cut down. On a walk in the woods, you've probably seen an old stump on which new shoots have formed. If you do not remove the stump from the ground, there is a good chance that year after year you will have to cut down these new shoots. In order to avoid having to repeat this operation annually, call Emondage Sherbrooke and we will remove the stump completely. Call now at 819-200-2925 for a free estimate.
Space saving and security
Removing a stump will also save you space. If you live in an urban area, you probably have a small lot and you definitely want to take advantage of every square foot available. In addition, a stump represents a real security risk. It's easy to stumble over it and get hurt.
Increase in property value
A well-maintained property helps to increase its value. If you wish to put your home up for sale, it is in your interest to eliminate as many irritants as possible that could jeopardize the transaction.
Mushroom
Of course, in time, nature will take care of making the strain disappear. Are you ready to live off mushrooms for years?
Using chemicals
Some hobbyists use chemicals to speed up the decomposition of the strain. This will result in soil contamination. In addition, it may contravene certain regulations designed to protect the environment. For example, the use of chemicals can contaminate the water table or kill other trees near the stump. In addition, the use of chemicals poses a serious health risk to your pets.
Using a tractor or excavator
Another way is to mechanically remove the stump and roots using a tractor or excavator. Although this method is effective, it will leave your land upside down. It will take a lot of time to repair the damage caused by this approach, not to mention the additional purchase of land to replace the space the roots occupied. This means additional costs that were not anticipated at the outset. In addition to not being able to easily go anywhere on your property because of its large size, this type of equipment will damage your lawn as it goes by.
