Frequently Asked Questions – Stump Removal in Gatineau
Why is it important to remove a stump after felling a tree?
A stump can pose several problems: risk of falling, obstacle to landscaping, unwanted regrowth, and attraction of insects (carpenter ants, termites). Stump removal ensures safety and cleanliness.
What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
-
Stump grinding: grinding the stump with a specialized machine (grinder) which reduces it to wood chips.
-
Stump removal: complete extraction of the stump with its roots, often using heavy machinery.
How deep is the stump ground?
Typically, the stump is ground down 15 to 30 cm below ground level, allowing it to be covered with soil and used for landscaping (lawn, garden, construction, paving).
What to do with the shavings produced by stump removal?
They can be left on site as natural mulch, used elsewhere on the site, or removed by our team as needed.
Is stump removal safe near foundations, pools, or fences?
Yes. Our operators assess the proximity of infrastructure and adapt the grinding depth and angle to protect your facilities.
Is a permit required for stump removal in Gatineau?
Generally, no. Unlike tree felling (which requires a municipal permit), stump removal does not require a certificate. However, if the work affects a protected area (e.g., a riverbank or wetland), regulations may apply.
