​Stump removal is an important part of a complete tree removal operation. In most cases it is handled as a separate work order for execution at a later date.

HOW DOES STUMP GRINDING WORK?
A stump grinder is a piece of heavy equipment with a carbide-tipped steel wheel on the front that spins like a saw blade. The wheel is lowered onto the edge of the stump and moves from side to side, grinding deeper into the stump with each swipe. Eventually the whole tree stump is ground up into small wood chips, including the main roots below the stump.​

Let's face it - tree stumps are unsightly and they get in the way. So why not remove those stumps safely and permanently with our stump grinding service.​

When you contact us we will discuss with you what extent of the tree grinding should be done. We also discuss with you cleanup and what will be done with the excess debris. All options will be discussed before the job starts. We will see that the project is completed to your satisfaction from start to finish.

After your tree is removed, you may want to consider grinding the tree stump to remove that as well. We offer optional tree stump grinding & root removal services to all our tree removal customers.​​

When unfortunately a live tree has to be cut down their roots continue to grow and produce new growth. To start the decaying process of the root system it is important to grind tree stumps. Weather will play a major role in many of the tree stump grinding and removal jobs we perform.

STUMP GRINDING OPTIONS
We offer a few options when grinding tree stumps, ranging from simply grinding the stump away to a complete removal, filling and replacement.

Stump Grinding Only - This option involves grinding the tree stump down to about 4-6 inches below ground level. We leave the wood chips where they are. You're left with a hole that you can fill with any material you like, including topsoil, wood chips, gravel, etc. and you're responsible for any clean-up.

Stump Grinding & Backfill - After grinding the stump, we fill the hole with screened topsoil and then reseed the area with high quality grass seed. We can also cover the area with mulch instead of grass seed if you prefer. We remove all the wood chips and debris so the area is completely cleaned up when we leave. In a couple of months, you won't even know the stump was there!​

​Using high-powered stump grinders that reduce the stump to a coarse sawdust, we grind the stump to below ground level. We also recommend that you hire us to level the area, and add topsoil and sod or seed.​

WHY GRIND TREE STUMPS?
Beside the aesthetic reasons for removing tree stumps, there are also health and safety considerations.

• The stump may be a safety hazard or obstacle that could injure someone.
• If you want to plant a new tree in the same location (or even nearby), you'll have to remove the stump first.
• Carpenter ants and/or termites love dead tree stumps - the only way to prevent this is to grind the stump away.
• If left, as the stump slowly rots away, harmful fungi move in and could spread disease to nearby trees and plants.
• Removing the tree stump is the only guaranteed way to prevent the tree from growing back.
