The Problem with Stumps Left Behind
Stumps left behind after tree removal create ongoing problems for Canterbury property owners. Old stumps attract pests, can regrow, and become trip hazards across lifestyle blocks and farms. They block proper fencing, prevent mowing and machinery access, and occupy productive land. DIY solutions like burning or digging rarely work on Canterbury's deep-rooted trees and often make problems worse - creating fire hazards or leaving unstable root systems.
Most lifestyle block owners face finding contractors who can handle large rural stumps properly. Suburban stump grinding services turn away properties with massive macrocarpa or pine stumps, while inadequate equipment leaves stumps partially ground or root systems intact. Stumps not ground deep enough prevent replanting, cause fencing issues, and create surface irregularities that damage machinery. Meanwhile, old stumps continue rotting, spreading fungi, and reducing property value while blocking development plans.
