Stump Grinding

All to often when a tree or large shrub is removed, the stump that is left behind is in the way. There are several ways to deal with the stump.

  • Leave it, and work around it. Cheapest, but can break up the yard and also be a safety concern.
  • Remove it roots and all, which can be expensive and may create a lot of damage to and from and around the stump area.
  • Grind it so that it no longer interferes with your plans for the space.

Grinding the stump minimizes the damage to and from the stump area as well as the immediate area around the stump. The machine slowly grinds the stump down to about 3-6″ below the soil line. When completed, all you have left is a pile of wood chips, that can be used as mulch or removed as part of the process. This will leaves a depression in the ground that needs to be filled in with soil and planted with grass or other landscape plants.
