Stump removal

Stump grinder

At Emondage Longueuil Pro, we have the right equipment to effectively remove the stump and all the roots of a tree that has been felled from the ground. Our expertise allows us to perform this operation in such a way as not to damage your property. 

Why stump grubbing

You may consider that a tree stump offers a certain aesthetic advantage and that it can be integrated into your landscaping or even transformed into a work of art. It is important to know, however, that the presence of a stump on your property can create a variety of problems. 

Carpenter ants and other undesirables

A tree stump that has begun to decompose and is moist becomes an attractive environment for carpenter ants. These insects may establish their main nest there and then create other satellite nests even closer to your home. ​

This will have potentially devastating consequences if you see their activity late. The presence of ants in a tree stump will also attract the animals that feed on it. Consider the bear a predator of the carpenter ant. ​

Mushrooms

In addition to attracting insects and possibly animals, a strain is a breeding ground for fungi. It's up to you to decide if this is what you want to keep on your property in the long term.

Tree regrowth

Since the roots are still being fed by the nutrients and water in the soil, it is very likely that you will see regrowth appear on the stump every year and you will have to cut it down.  By having the entire stump and roots professionally removed, you are also removing an item from your annual checklist. 

More space and security

Sooner or later, a child, adult or pet could be injured by inadvertently grazing or tripping over the stump. All it takes is a lot of concentration on a task or game to forget the stump is there for a few seconds and then get hurt. You will also have to go around it every time you mow the lawn or cross that area of your property. No matter the size of your yard, but even more significantly if it is rather small, extracting a tree stump will give you back some space. You will be able to use it again to enlarge your flower or vegetable garden, to enlarge a playground or to create a relaxation area for example. ​

Increase in property value

Whether you're considering selling your home in the next year or much later, it's best to get rid of the stump as soon as possible to avoid inconveniences such as carpenter ants, but also to simply take responsibility for the task rather than leaving it to future owners. The fewer problems you have with your home and land, the more valuable it becomes. 

Use chemicals

It is indeed possible to speed up the decomposition of a tree stump using chemicals. However, this is harmful to the environment. These toxic products contaminate the soil and water, posing a risk to other plants on your property, to your pets and to young children who touch it while exploring. If you want to use this method, think carefully about the consequences and learn about the regulations in place to protect the environment. ​

Use a tractor or excavator​

Some owners choose to use a tractor or excavator to remove a stump. This method damages the land already in the first step, which is to get the equipment to where the work is to be done. You may have to reseed the lawn in some areas where the wheels or tracks have been driven over. Removing the stump itself will also cause more damage with this method than if the stump removal had been done by experts using the most appropriate means. In addition, you will need to purchase a significant amount of soil to fill in the holes where the roots were.
