Stump Removal

Stump grinding involves using specialized equipment to grind the tree stump down to below ground level, leaving the roots intact. In contrast, stump removal entails extracting the entire stump and root system from the ground. Grinding is less invasive and more efficient, while removal is more comprehensive but can disturb the surrounding landscape.

Leaving a stump can lead to several issues, including attracting pests like termites, posing tripping hazards, and hindering landscaping efforts. Removing the stump enhances the safety and aesthetics of your property.

The duration depends on the stump's size, hardness and debris management requirements. Typically, grinding a single stump can take between 30 minutes to many hours with several rotations of grinding and debris hauling. 

The wood chips can be removed from your property or left as a nutrient rich natural mulch for your garden beds upon request. Please be aware that the chips produced by stump grinding are not nicely cut, colored mulch. They are more like shards of wood that may not be suitable for certain purposes or aesthetics. 

It is advisable to plant at least a few feet away. If absolutely necessary to plant in the same spot, you will want to inform us of that beforehand, and we will let you know if that location is a candidate. We will grind deep, remove the wood chips and add fresh soil to ensure the new tree has the best conditions possible for growth. 

We typically grind stumps 6 to 8 inches below ground level, which is sufficient for most landscaping needs. We can grind up to 12", or even 18" below grade, given the right circumstances.

In most cases, grinding prevents regrowth. However, some tree species may attempt to sprout from the remaining roots, which can be managed with proper treatment of stump kill.
