Why fall is a great time of year to get your stumps removed

Fall is almost upon us, and with it comes a new planting season, as well as ideal weather for yard work.

Fall is almost upon us, and with it comes a new planting season, as well as ideal weather for yard work.
As the heat of summer passes, we’ll find ourselves in a two month window in which to establish new grass, plant your fall gardens, and plant/transplant trees.
And what could be more useful for your fall yard projects than a pile of wood mulch? That’s exactly what you’ll get when you hire a stump grinder to remove your stumps: a patch of bare dirt, and a pile of wood chips.
Luckily, you’ll have time to establish new grass before the weather gets too cold, and pleasant working weather to spread your mulch around.
It’s also worth noting that you can save money on your stump removals if you do them at the same time as your tree removals. As we covered in this post, it’s important to inspect your trees in the late summer or early fall to make sure they’re strong enough to weather the harsh conditions of fall and winter. The cold part of the year is when they’re likely to come crashing down, but it’s often the result of gradual weakening that occurs in the dry season. And 2021 has been a particularly dry one.
