Once a stump is removed, your yard can look significantly better, but it's important to keep your yard healthy after the removal process. Below, we go over tips to keep your yard healthy and lush once the stump is gone. When you need stump removal in Tucson, AZ, or the surrounding areas, contact Tree Experts. Fill the Hole Properly There will be a hole in your yard when the stump is removed. Add high-quality topsoil to this hole to create a stable base for new plants or grass. Firmly pack the dirt to keep it from sinking. Add Fertilizer and Nutrients Eliminating stumps can disturb the soil and cause a shortage of vital nutrients. Add organic materials and fertilizer to the soil to replenish it. Manure, compost, and peat moss can all help reestablish the fertility of the soil and encourage strong plant development. Reseed or Replant Decide if you want to fill the space left by the removed stump with grass or other plants. If you want to plant grass, equally distribute the seed across the filled space and gently rake it into the ground. To encourage seed germination and root establishment, water often. Mulch is also beneficial because it contributes organic matter to the soil, aids in moisture retention, and inhibits weed growth as it breaks down. To protect and improve the soil, cover the freshly filled area with a layer of mulch. Water Regularly Keeping up with your yard's moisture levels is essential to its overall health. Water the area frequently, but don't soak it too much since this can cause root rot and soggy soil. Watering deeply and sparingly will help plants grow strong roots. Aerate the Soil The removal of stumps may compact the soil, which hinders the flow of water and air to the roots. To enhance soil structure and encourage healthier grass and plant development, aerate the soil surrounding the removed stump area.
