Information on tree trump removal
Once you’ve removed an unwanted tree, the remaining stump still needs taken care of. New Fairfield Tree Service helps local homeowners with Stump Removal in New Fairfield, Connecticut throughout the spring and summer. You can choose to leave the stump and set a flowerpot on top of it to make it less unsightly, or you can look at the various reasons that having it removed is a good idea.
Along with the stump being a hassle to mow around, it can damage your mower if you accidentally hit it. The stump is also a tripping hazard in your yard. It’s much more enjoyable to have family activities outside without worrying about someone getting hurt.
Stumps that are left behind often attract insects such as termites and carpenter ants. Eventually, their infestation and disease can spread to other plants in your yard, and even to your home.
If you are planning to have a tree removed by a tree service, they can also remove the stump for you, which will be considerably less hassle than trying to remove it yourself. They have the equipment and will often combine the price of the stump grinding being done at the same time as the tree removal. Coming back another time may result in a higher cost because the equipment is no longer on site.
If you already have a stump or stumps where the tree was removed previously, there are some things to consider if you decide to remove the stumps yourself.

Clean up the sawdust
Grinding out stumps will leave behind lots of sawdust. It is important to thoroughly clear away all of the small shavings. If not completely removed, the left behind wood slivers will absorb important components, causing neighboring plants to suffer.
Deep Cleaning
A half-hearted effort will not be effective enough to remove all of the sawdust. You need to dig it out and get into the lines where the root lines are.

Lessen the impact with fertilizer
You can weaken the negative effects from sawdust by spreading fertilizer that is rich in nitrogen. This will help with any new plants you want to put in that area without loss of important nutrients in the soil.
Last but not least
If all of the above sounds like more than what you want to attempt to do on your own, you can hire a tree service that will complete the work for you.
