Trees can offer significant benefits for any property. They add aesthetic appeal, enhance air quality and even increase the property’s value. So, ultimately, planting a tree and taking care of it is an investment in many ways.
However, people often ignore this responsibility, and they don’t take enough time and energy to maintain their trees. This ignorance can lead to tree sickness, property damage and an overgrown, unattractive look.
If you have trees on your property, you might want to consult a tree service for your needs. Most people are often confused if stump removal is included in the service under the tree removal offer.
No, stump removal is not provided as a part of the tree removal service. The tree removal process typically includes taking the tree down, cutting the wood into logs, and cutting the stump as close as possible to the ground.
Unless you would like to pay extra for this service, you will usually be left with a stump in your yard. However, sometimes you can get a discount for stump removal while hiring a tree removal service, so make sure you talk with the tree care company about it.
Regarding the cost of stump removal, there are multiple factors that need to be taken into consideration, such as the diameter of the stump and its location. Also, the removal of a rotting stump can be a lot cheaper than removing a healthy, strong stump.

How extra tree removal services work
Tree removal takes specialist skills and equipment, and stump removal is a different kind of job. They require different equipment and abilities.
A service provider may not include stump removal in a tree removal offering, but you can add this as an extra. Stump removal is done after the tree is taken down, and if you are willing to get it done, it will cost extra.
