Stump Removal in Abilene, TX

Typically, tree removal services don’t include the whole tree. While the trunk and all the branches are turned into woodchips or hauled away, there’s usually one thing left behind: an unsightly stump. If you’re going to fully reclaim your landscape, you need to work with a professional to provide stump removal services. In Abilene, TX, that professional is D & M Fencing.

Whether you want the stump removed at the same time as the tree or you’re calling us after another tree company left a stump behind, our team would be happy to help. We have the equipment and know-how to completely remove stumps, and we’d be eager to put them to work for you.

Many people use “stump grinding” and “stump removal” interchangeably; however, these are two different services. Stump grinding involves using a special machine to - as the name implies - grind the stump down to powder or woodchips. Usually, the stump will only be ground down a few inches below the surface of the soil. In contrast, stump removal involves using a tractor, winch, or other machinery to completely pull every last tree root from the ground.

Which option is right for you? That depends on many factors. However, in general, we’d recommend stump removal in the following cases:

• You want to plant a new tree where the old one was. Removing the stump and root system ensures the roots of the old tree won’t interfere with the new one.
• The old tree’s root system was part of the reason why you wanted it removed in the first place - for instance, the roots were infiltrating pipes or interfering with your foundation.
• You don’t want there to be any risk of the tree sprouting again or the rotting stump and roots causing damage to your yard.

While these are great reasons to have a stump removed, it’s important to remember that stump removal is a time-consuming process that can lead to a lot of your property being dug up to find every last root. If you just want to remove the eyesore an old stump represents, you might be better off with stump grinding. Our team can go through the options and help you decide which is right for you.
