Are you considering tree stump removal in Ottawa?

Do you have a tree stump on your property that is the remnant of tree cutting or tree removal?

Tree Removal vs. Tree Stump Removal in Ottawa

Okay, so you’ve cut down a tree or hired the pros for Ottawa tree removal.

That makes enough sense on its own.

Maybe the tree was sick, dying or dead.

Perhaps the tree removal took place because of potential threat or impact to person, structure and/or property.

Or maybe you needed the space for building or landscaping purposes and thus carried out tree removal (hopefully with a City of Ottawa tree removal permit if needed!).

But what about the remains on your property after the tree removal was finished?
