Here Is How Our Tree Stump Removal Service Works
There are a few methods that can be implemented when it comes to removing a tree stump.

As Durham tree service professionals, there are several reasons why we might recommend the removal of a leftover tree stump.
The following are some of the most common reasons we would recommend removing tree stumps.
Tree Stumps Can Be Very Dangerous!
Nothing more than an accident waiting to happen. Large chunks of solid wood sticking up inches out of the ground in the middle of the yard, this poses a threat to the safety of anyone walking along in its path. Meaning that you, your children playing, and even the guest you ask over for a backyard bbq are all at risk of potentially obtaining some type of injury should they happen to come into contact with a tree stump. It’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt. Dr visits or emergency rooms are never fun, they are expensive and tend to cost much more than the average cost of our tree stump removal service.
What About Tree Stumps Left Behind From Healthy Trees?
The vast majority of trees taken down are considered to be unhealthy. But even the healthiest of trees have been sacrificed to make room for the development of new construction, or may have been severely damaged by a passing storm.
Healthy trees leave healthy tree stumps behind, and a relatively healthy stump is more than capable of manufacturing and sustaining new growth. When a healthy tree stump is left behind, it can, and more than likely will begin to form a new tree in the same spot where the old one was removed. There is a good chance someone had a legitimate reason for the removal of the old tree in the first place, so you probably don’t want it to grow back.
Then There Is The Matter Of Dead Or Diseased Trees
In many cases, trees must be removed because they are diseased or they are already dead and are considered dangerous if they were to break or fall. When they do fall, dead and diseased trees leave behind dead and/or diseased tree stumps. Diseased tree stumps, even the ones that are barely clinging to life, can be a threat to the health of any other trees or shrubs in the yard around it. This can leave you with a big mess on your hands you don’t need and don’t want!
Okay, you get it. The tree stump needs to come out, but what is the best way to get rid of it?
Here Is The 4 Most Common Ways To Remove Tree Stumps
THE HARD WAY!!! GOOD OLD FASHIONED DIGGING
This stump removal method is usually reserved for the “Do It Yourself’ers”. Grabbing a shovel, an axe, a giant pry bar and digging that stump out of the ground by hand and pure might… it can work, and occasionally does for those prepared to put in the intensive backbreaking labor, deal with the blisters and strenuous hours upon hours it takes to get it done.
Many people have attempted this seemingly simple task only to finally surrender, completely exhausted and defeated, then… call us in to finish the now daunting stump removal job which we can usually knock out in just a few quick hours.
Also, keep in mind there are some major problems that you could run into when trying to remove tree stumps on your own. Some species of trees have extremely intricate root systems which can spread out as far as several feet and run down deep into the ground. Digging that deep can uncover other issues such as running into power, cable or gas lines, Yikes! No Thank You…
So, if you are feeling frisky and trying to save some money on getting your tree stump removed and decide to go this route, you’ll want to be sure to call your local authorities. Here in the Triangle area, you can call 811 and give them your address. They’ll let you know if and where it’s safe to dig, so you don’t end up with an undesired emergency on your hands.
Or you can just call us, we know exactly what to do and we handle all the required “dangerous digging” research for you before we start. Once you approve the stump removal service work, we’ll get started and be done normally in just a few hours. Nothing will explode, and it will be a lot cheaper than having to pay the cable company to come out and rewire your yard’s internet that just caused the entire neighborhood to lose their internet connection! Talk about some unhappy neighbors…

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER OUTDATED AND DANGEROUS STUMP REMOVAL METHODS?
LET'S TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT STUMP BURNING
This is definitely not recommended for the DIY Community. WE CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! This method should only be implemented by tree service professionals who have fire fighting safety equipment with them and trained to keep fires from spreading and under control.
There are all kinds of things that can go wrong…large scale fires, damaging property, and in most states, it isn’t even legal! It’s not really a method we suggest anyone use, the risk factor is way too high. We won’t do it!
THEN THERE IS CHEMICAL STUMP REMOVAL
This is yet another method that should be left to tree stump removal experts. Chemical stump removal involves the use of dangerous chemicals that eat the tree stump from the inside out. We know which chemicals and how much chemical it will take to properly get the stump removal job done. Always Being mindful not to kill the surrounding grass, plants, shrubs or bushes. Using chemicals to remove stumps isn’t one of our favorite methods and only used as a very last resort.

We thought you would rather hear what our customers are saying
We had a tree fall on our house last summer. I called around a little bit and most places I talked to either would not come out at all (one even laughed for suggesting that they come out that day) or did not have access to a crane. When I called Monster, they were there within the hour and had the team out with a crane later that afternoon. A weeks later they came back out to remove some of my other problematic trees before they fell on the house too.
Great service! One of the best service companies I have ever worked with. Jason was knowledgeable, friendly and the price was very reasonable. The crew was friendly and efficient and left the site free of debris. I highly recommend this team!
Fantastic service at reasonable prices- I’ve worked with many tree removal companies, and this company by far is the most professional, most knowledgeable, with the most reasonable prices. I had a couple trees which needed to be removed- both complex. For the first tree, other companies wouldn’t take the job because of complexity. Monster said no problem and charged me half what another company quoted. They also ground a different stump for us for free!
If you are looking for some awesome, knowledgeable people to work with, these are the guys I highly recommend. Their friendliness and result-driven approach are what I love about them.

Some Common Stump Grinding & Removal Questions We Hear

The cost can run anywhere between $60.00 to $350.00 per stump. Just like tree removal, the cost of removing a stump depends mostly on factors such as size, ease of access to the stump, what will be required to safely remove the stump and more.

Give us a call today and one of our tree stump removal experts will be glad to come out and give you a free stump removal cost estimate.
Stump grinding is actually one of 4 methods that can be used to remove a stump from your property. For grinding, a large tool is used with a blade on it that is similar to a table saw. The tool is set on top of the stump which allows for the stump to be slowly and safely “grinded” into wood chips or mulch, until it reaches a level that it can be dug out of the ground with little effort. Other methods of stump removal include: Burning the stump, Digging the stump out by the roots, or using different types of acid based chemicals to slowly eat away at the stump until it is completely decomposed all the way to the roots.
If I decide I want to burn the stump on my own, can I get into trouble?
Using the burn method can be dangerous, and it is usually illegal depending upon the burn laws in your city and state. Most cities do not even allow this method of removal being done by an actual licensed tree service, let alone a individual. There are several reasons for this decision, danger being #1. You don’t want to find out the stump being burned is actually sitting on top of a gas line or a septic tank the hard way…such as when it explodes!!
Other dangers include the possibility of the stump fire getting out of control and potentially spreading, definately not worth the risk.
Our Stump Grinding Service is the safest, most time efficient and cost effective way to have a stump removed from your property in Raleigh. Call us today for a no obligation stump removal cost estimate.
Not only are left over tree stumps an eyesore, but when dead or diseased roots from a leftover stump can become the perfect habitat for unwanted critters and insects. Not to mention, leftover diseased roots that aren’t removed completely can become a breeding ground for other bacteria that could spread throughout the property and could potentially affect other live trees around it as well!
