Stump Grinding Solutions And Getting Rid Of Roots For Landscaping

When you have a problem with stumps, it can make it difficult to complete landscaping. You may need to have stump grinding done, which can also include the removal of stubborn roots that often grow far away from the stump. The following stump grinding solutions can help you with your needs and getting the landscaping done:

Make sure there is access to stumps

The place where you need to have stump grinding done could be in a hard-to-reach area of your property. Therefore, you should make sure there is clear access to the location where work needs to be done. Some things that can be done to give access to these areas include:

  • Remove and store objects that might be in the way
  • Check gates for access and remove fence sections if needed
  • Cut brush that may get in the way of stump grinding equipment

These are some of the things you can do to ensure clear access to your landscaping where the stumps need to be removed. Getting access to the area where stump grinding needs to be done is an important step to begin this landscaping process.

Grinding down the stubborn stumps

The stubborn stumps in your landscaping will have to be ground down to the root ball and back into the soil. If you are planning on seeding and replanting the area where stump grinding has been done, you may want to add a nutrient soil mixture when the grinding work is underway. This will help to replenish the soil nutrients to help new lawns, plants, and trees thrive. After you plant over the area where stumps have been removed, you will want to make sure they stay moist and occasionally apply fertilizers.

Grinding heavy root balls that extend past stumps

When you are dealing with stumps, the root balls can sometimes extend past them. Therefore, you are going to need to deal with large roots in other areas of your landscaping. Talk to a stump grinding service about grinding any large roots that may be in the way. When you get ready to plant in these areas, use a garden rake to make the soil's surface even and smooth to finish the job.  

These are some of the things that you will want to know about getting rid of the stumps before landscaping. If you have stumps and roots in your landscaping, contact a stump grinding service for more information.
