Why Remove Tree Stumps?
Eliminate Tripping Hazards
Stumps can be dangerous obstacles, especially for children and the elderly.
Prevent Pest Infestations
Decaying stumps attract termites, ants, and other wood-boring pests that can spread to your home.
Improve Property Aesthetics
Stumps are unsightly and can detract from your property's appearance and value.
Free Up Usable Space
Removing stumps allows you to reclaim land for landscaping, gardening, or construction.
Our Stump Removal Methods
Stump Grinding
Our most popular method uses specialized grinding equipment to reduce the stump to wood chips several inches below ground level. This process:
- Is fast and efficient for most residential stumps
- Minimizes disruption to the surrounding landscape
- Leaves the root system in place to naturally decompose
- Creates wood chips that can be used as mulch or removed
Complete Stump Removal
For situations requiring total removal of the stump and root system, we offer complete extraction services that:
- Remove the entire stump and major root structure
- Are ideal for construction sites or areas requiring new foundations
- Eliminate all traces of the tree for new landscaping
- Prevent any possibility of regrowth
Our Stump Removal Process
- Assessment: We evaluate the stump size, age, type of tree, and surrounding landscape to determine the best removal method.
- Preparation: We clear the area around the stump and mark any underground utilities.
- Grinding/Removal: Using professional-grade equipment, we either grind the stump down or completely remove it based on your needs.
- Cleanup: We thoroughly clean the area, removing or spreading wood chips as preferred.
- Filling: We fill the hole with soil, ready for new grass, plants, or other landscaping.
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep do you grind stumps?
We typically grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level, which is sufficient for most landscaping needs. If you require deeper grinding for specific projects, we can accommodate your needs.
What happens to the roots after stump grinding?
After grinding, the roots remain in the ground and naturally decompose over time. This process can take several years depending on the size of the root system and soil conditions.
Can you remove multiple stumps?
Yes, we can remove any number of stumps from your property. We offer discounted rates for multiple stump removals completed in the same visit.
How long does stump removal take?
Most residential stumps can be ground in 1-2 hours. Complete stump removal may take longer depending on the size and root system. We'll provide a time estimate during our assessment.
