All Above the Trees can remove any size stump for you. Removing tree stumps from your yard increases landscaping area while decreasing the possibility of insect infestations. The technique also allows you to choose a spot for transplanting a new tree. We scrape 15-18 inches beneath the surface of the ground to remove any visible roots. Stumps attract insects and take up valuable yard space. They are also a hazard to everyone. It is really tough to avoid them. If that isn't enough, they may also produce suckers, which are plants that grow from the roots of other plants.
