We currently offer Stump Removal as an addition to our Tree Removal service. If you are in search of only stump grinding/removal we are happy to refer to a stump grinding only company if you need!

Stump removal is the process of eliminating the remaining tree stump and roots after a tree has been cut down. This task is typically done to clear the land for landscaping, construction, or to prevent the stump from becoming a tripping hazard, eyesore, or a breeding ground for pests and diseases.

There are several methods of stump removal, depending on the size of the stump, soil conditions, and the future plans for the area.

- Description: The most common method, stump grinding involves using a specialized machine called a stump grinder. This machine has a rotating cutting disk that chips away at the stump, reducing it to small wood chips.
- Depth: Stump grinders typically grind the stump down to about 6 to 12 inches below ground level, allowing for new landscaping or grass to grow over the area.
- Pros: Quick and efficient, with minimal impact on the surrounding area.
- Cons: Some roots remain in the ground, though they generally decay over time.
Cleanup: After the stump is removed, there is usually a hole left in the ground, which can be filled with soil, mulch, or grass seed. Wood chips from stump grinding can also be used as mulch or disposed of depending on preference.

Stump removal enhances the appearance of the landscape, clears space for new planting or construction, and prevents issues like pest infestations or regrowth from the stump.
