Reclaim Your Yard, One Stump at a Time
After a tree is removed, the leftover stump can be more than just an eyesore. It can be a tripping hazard, an obstacle for mowing, and an open invitation for pests like termites and ants. Instead of letting that stump dictate how you use your yard, let B&L Tree Service grind it away for good.
We provide professional stump grinding services for homeowners and businesses throughout Mattoon and the surrounding communities, leaving you with a clean, usable space.
Why Bother with Stump Grinding?
Removing a stump does more than just improve the look of your property. Here are the advantages to grinding down that leftover stump:
- Reclaim Your Yard Space: A stump takes up valuable real estate. Grinding it down opens up space for a new garden, a play area for kids, or simply a lush, uninterrupted lawn.
- Improve Your Property’s Appearance: Let’s face it—stumps are ugly. Removing them provides an instant boost to your property’s curb appeal and makes your landscape look clean and well-maintained.
- Eliminate Annoying Hazards: Stumps are a notorious tripping hazard for kids and adults alike. They can also do serious damage to your lawnmower if you accidentally hit one. Grinding eliminates these risks completely.
- Prevent Pest Infestations: A decaying stump is the perfect home for termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-boring insects. By removing their habitat, you help protect your property and home from these destructive pests.
