Stump removal

Did you know that there is a special tool to properly remove a stump and its roots from the ground after a tree has been cut down? This equipment is part of our arsenal at Emondage Saint-Constant. Combined with our professionalism, you'll get a clean operation that won't damage your land.  

Reasons for stump grubbing

Doesn't a stump left there, skillfully arranged, offer a most pleasant country style? Perhaps, but what is less taken into consideration is that a stump maintained on the spot also brings its share of complications...

Inappropriate insects, including... carpenter ants

A stump will gorge itself of humidity and rot at low fire. Such an environment attracts like a magnet many insects, possibly even carpenter ants. These ants bear their name very well, because they also know how to develop a real housing network.  

They build a central nest, around which, at a considerable distance, they place satellite nests. One of them, if not the main one, could therefore be very close to your house. We leave it up to you to guess what disaster could result if you find out too late. When the insects colonizing your strain are carpenter ants, do you know which animal is among its predators? The bear.  Contact Emondage Saint-Constant now at 450-977-3901 to schedule an appointment. Also take the opportunity to ask us about our other tree care services. ​

Mushrooms ​​

In any case, a strain can attract other animals, which can attract other animals again . This base, which you found beautifully rustic not so long ago, could also accommodate a legion of mushrooms. Is this a risk that makes you want to take? With the help of our stump grinder, we will make your stump disappear.    

Tree regrowth

Underneath a stump run roots that are still able to draw nutrients and water from the soil. This is why unwanted regrowth can invade your bedrock annually. This, of course, means not only extra maintenance, but also no need for it. So have this stump and its roots removed by experienced growers. This will save you a great deal of inconvenience. The maintenance of a ground is a time-consuming task; therefore, by wringing out the stump, you will remove a significant part of it, consisting in pruning the shoots every year.   

Gain space and security

When it goes unnoticed, because weeds are hiding it or anyone passing by is distracted, the risk of a dive by hitting it is possible. Injuries of varying degrees of severity may result. No one can escape: you, your family, guests, children, a member of your small household menagerie... Have you also considered how long this obstacle will be unpleasant to walk along when mowing the lawn? When you take care to have a stump removed, you find yourself using a previously unused space. The more limited your land is, the greater the gain. You will be able to realize a family project: Enlarge the vegetable garden, turn it into a small footpath, a relaxation area... The possibilities are endless.

Increase in the value of a property

Even if this is not your current situation, you may end up wanting to sell your property. You might as well plan ahead and have the stump removed immediately. This way, you will put an end to potential inconveniences, such as carpenter ants, before they occur. After all, any property that is impeccably maintained leaves the market faster than any other that shows some signs of possible neglect.   

Use chemicals

Certainly, chemicals putrefy a strain faster than letting the action take place naturally. Except that they are toxic and will contaminate the surrounding soil, water and vegetation. Not to mention that animals, wild or domestic, even nosy children can be poisoned. Prevention is always better than cure. And prevention here means not using these products. Moreover, many municipalities prohibit their use in a bylaw, since protecting the environment has become a must. Hence the importance of informing you if the temptation remains.   ​

Using a tractor or excavator

Another way that may have crossed your mind is to have a tractor or an excavator come along. What are the tracks or wheels going to leave in their path, all the way from the street to the stump? Yes, unsightly ruts that are difficult to level, where you will have to bog down or reseed.  Specialized grubbers will do this without damaging your land, and they are equipped with the proper equipment. You may not have thought about it, but when the stump and its roots are removed, you can imagine the huge hole it will make? How much soil will you need to fill it up?  Avoid these problems by contacting your Emondage Saint-Constant tree care service. Tree removal permit
