Old stumps attract termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-boring pests that can eventually make their way to your home. They create tripping hazards for family, guests, and anyone mowing the lawn. And they can send up persistent sucker growth that's frustrating to manage.
At Kenosha Tree Service, we use commercial-grade stump grinders to eliminate stumps below ground level quickly and efficiently. Whether you have one stump or twenty, we'll clean up your yard and leave it ready for new landscaping, sod, or replanting.
Decaying stumps attract termites, carpenter ants, beetles, and fungi that can spread to healthy trees and your home.
Stumps are tripping hazards, especially for children playing and anyone mowing. Remove the risk entirely.
