How Does Stump Grinding Work?

Stump grinding is a method of removal that eliminates the stump from view without the need to excavate the entire root system. This is done using a stump grinder, which has powerful rotating blades that cut the wood into small pieces. These wood chips can later be used as mulch.

Once the stump has been cut down to below ground level, it gets covered with dirt and left to naturally decompose along with the roots. Our team will then clean up the area, and you’ll be left with a smooth surface that’s ready to accommodate grass, plants and other landscaping features.

Why should you remove a stump from your property?

Whether you’ve recently had a tree removed or there’s simply an old stump lingering on your property, it’s best to get this eyesore removed.

As the stump decomposes, it’ll become an ideal home for fungi, insects and other pests. This can put the other trees and shrubs on your property at risk of infestation.

Your tree stump can also pose a tripping hazard to anyone who walks through your yard. This can be particularly dangerous if you have young children running around.

Why is stump grinding the safest removal option?

Stump grinding is an easy and affordable method of stump removal that only takes about an hour or two to complete. It causes minimal damage to your yard and helps prevent the spread of fungi and diseases to other trees and plants. Plus, the buried remnants of the stump help fertilize the soil.

In contrast, the three alternative methods all present a serious hazard or inconvenience. You could burn the stump, which is dangerous and prohibited in many areas. Alternatively, you can use chemicals to speed up decomposition. This, however, is problematic as the chemicals leave a toxic residue that can harm children, pets and wildlife on your property. The third option is stump removal, which involves excavating the entire stump and root system. Not only is this process more expensive and time consuming than stump grinding, but you’ll also be left with a massive hole to fill.
