Stump Removal Service Aftercare Tips
Stumps are quite a visual obstruction that can pose a safety hazard as well. Getting rid of them will make your lawn a bit cleaner and safer. Stumps can be breeding ground for mites, rats, and frogs. There is no benefit to keeping them on your lawn. It’s time to remove them. For this, you need to be prepared. While contractors are the ones to handle the preparation and the actual service, it’s important for you to prepare for the aftercare. Here are some steps you need to take after getting a stump removal service.
Remove Excess Debris
Even with the stumps out of the way, there are still remnants you need to clean up. Equip yourself with a saw or some clippers for any roots that can be seen on the empty spot where the tree used to be. It’s useful to have a rake handy as well.
Clean the Litter
You can use the rake to clean the litter or debris left from the operation. Otherwise, your grass won’t properly grow. So clear wood chips and branches first before you remedy the empty spots with grass and plants.
Prepare Bags of Soil
Stumps are big and grow deep, so make sure to be ready with bags of soil to fully fill the hole. Choose the soil closest to what your yard has. You can ask a landscaper to do this step and the succeeding steps if you don’t want to go through the physical labor. But if you’re determined to fill the spot with growing greens, then along with the soil add some seeds.
Add Seeds
Go to a gardening shop and buy grass seeds that are similar to what you have. Once you have them on hand, apply them in a criss-cross manner. This sets for good coverage.
Grow and Maintain
If you have successfully followed the steps above, it’s a matter of maintaining the grass. Keep them alive so you won’t have to start all over again
