Stump Removal

Why Invest in Removing Tree Stumps?

When you use SAFETY tree cutting services in Kansas City to remove a tree from your commercial property, it takes added time and resources to remove the stump left behind. Despite this, it’s very important to complete the stump removal on commercial properties for a variety of reasons, such as:

  • Tree Stumps Can be Dangerous: Tripping over a tree stump can cause personal or property damage.
  • Tree Stumps Can be Unsanitary: Continuing to decay for ten years, tree stumps attract insects and diseases. 
  • Tree Stumps are an Eyesore: Decaying tree stumps are a blemish on an otherwise beautiful lawn. They attract weeds that will clutter your landscape.

What Are My Options for Removing a Tree Stump?

Homeowners in Kansas City have a variety of options for removing unwanted and unsightly tree stumps from their commercial property, including:

  • Let Nature Run Its Course: Within several years, tree stumps will naturally decay. While this process can be accelerated with a high-nitrate intervention, it is still a time extensive process. This method runs the risk of attracting insects, tree diseases, or sprouting vegetation.
  • Take The Hands-On Approach: A direct, but very labor-intensive, option is physically removing the stump with tools such as chainsaws, axes, shovels, or even a truck and chain. This can be hazardous for people without the proper tools and experience. If you have multiple stumps on your commercial property, this can be very time-consuming.
  • Apply Chemicals: Stumps can be “dissolved” much more quickly with a concentrated potassium-nitrate solution. This intervention requires drilling holes in the stump so that the solution can penetrate its interior, then waiting a few weeks for the stump to soften. Then it can be removed manually much more easily. While this is faster and less laborious, it poses a risk to the environment as the chemicals can contaminate soil and groundwater, impacting nearby trees.

Stump Grinding: The preferred method of removing stumps is stump grinding. Grinding involves the use of equipment to grind the tree stump several inches below the surface of the ground. The resulting hole is then filled with soil and topped with grass seed, removing all evidence that the stump was ever there. Because stump grinding is fast, cost-effective, and easy with the right equipment, it is the most common technique used by Kansas City commercial property owners. Our team is experienced with providing stump grinding services after tree removal!

What People Are Saying

  • Safety Tree Service did a great job trimming several elm and ash trees for me, as well as a few pin oaks. The pin oaks had various dead limbs that needed to be removed and other limbs that needed to be thinned. Ty did an excellent job removing the dead wood and trimming the trees, which helped reduce risk of damage from limbs falling and greatly improved the health and overall appearance of the trees. With the recent bad weather I’m glad I hired Ty as I’m confident one of the limbs would have come down on a power line. I received bids from multiple tree trimmers and Ty’s bid was very competitive and he was able to provide proof of insurance. Some of the other bidders offered lower prices but were not insured! I do recommend Ty to others as he did a great job for me.

  • We needed a to have a couple of large trees removed from our yard. Safety Tree Service did a great job. They raked and collected everything and left us with a totally clean backyard. If we ever need any tree services in the future I will definitely contact you again.

    - Patrick F.( Kansas City, Missouri Tree Removal and Trimming, February 2017 )

  • We use Ty and his staff at Safety Tree exclusively for all of our tree work referrals. Our company conducts grounds maintenance on a wide variety of residential and commercial properties. We have referred our customers to Ty because they continually tell me how exceptional their overall experience was with Safety Tree. I have heard everything from “experts”, to “very professional”, to “very skilled”, to “clean” and “fair” used to describe their encounters. I would not hesitate at all to recommend Safety Tree to any private or public entity or for any project regardless of scope or size.
