Efficient Stump Removal
Sixtree offers professional stump grinding services in Calgary. Using top-of-the-line machines, our expert operator grind stumps into mulch, typically 1-3 business days after tree removal. This process helps prevent new shoots and ensures your yard remains neat.
Benefits and Options
- Mulch Handling: Mulch is left in the stump hole, with optional removal available.
- Root Grinding: Surface roots can also be ground upon request.
Depending on the size of the stump, you will be left with a little or a lot of mulch, neatly piled in the hole where the stump was. This material will settle over time, so it is important that at least a small mound be left in place otherwise you will eventually be left with a depression. Excess mulch from the stump grinding can be removed from the site as an option, but most prefer to deal with it themselves (stump mulch is useful material for landscaping and gardening, or can always be disposed of in your green bin). If you have roots showing on the surface and you would like them ground as well, we are happy to do so.
Stump grinding is optional. Some choose to leave the stump in the ground and let it rot away, but be advised that this can take many years due to Calgary’s generally dry conditions. The root systems of some species of trees are prone to aggressively sending up suckers (new shoots) after the tree has been removed above ground – in our experience, grinding the stump is the best way to prevent this. In some cases you would still get some suckering, but the effect is drastically reduced. It will diminish and disappear in future years if you simply snip off the offending shoots before they can establish themselves and start feeding energy to the remaining root system.
