Do You Need Fort Lauderdale Stump Grinding and Removal?
Excellent landscaping practices require Fort Lauderdale Stump grinding and removal from commercial and residential properties. After cutting down a tree, the stump should be ground into smaller pieces or sawdust, and the remaining parts removed. You can either replace it with foliage, another tree, shrubs, or flowers.
When the entire stump is removed, and you decide to replace it with another tree, you must fill the opening with nutrient-rich substance, place the tree into the opening, and then fill the remaining space with soil. However, planting another tree in place of one that you cut is typically not best practice as the new tree may have issues growing healthy roots to expand accordingly.
To plant flowers or grass, you fill the opening and level it; after that, you can plant matching flowers or grass as you like. You should also apply the necessary fertilizer and watering regularly to allow the plants to get the best start possible.
There are numerous reasons why tree stumps should be ground and taken out. However, before doing so, you must examine for cables, water lines, pipes, or other utilities laid close by.
What Is Stump Grinding?
What is Fort Lauderdale’s stump grinding? Stump grinding is the procedure of using special powered grinding tools with a blade with ten inches in size to grind and cut away a stump slowly.
Many companies typically grind stumps down four to six inches, but you can request it go deeper. The remaining stump can be left standing, or you may choose to have it entirely removed without grinding. You may also request the removal of some of the roots from the lawn. American Arborists offer solid reasons to remove that stump.

It is a regular stump removal practice to ensure we don’t run into them and disrupt service.
If a utility resource is in the way, either (if it’s possible), ask the utility company to change its position safely, or we will work around this item.
Will the Tree Grow Back?
After Fort Lauderdale stump grinding, the answer is “no,” however some species of trees do send up shoots such as:
- Bradford Pears
- Hackberries
- Crape Myrtles
