Stump GrindingStump grinding is the process of mechanically removing the entire tree stump using a stump grinder. A stump grinder is a heavy piece of machinery powered by a gasoline or diesel engine. It has a hydraulically controlled arm and a steel cutting wheel. The cutting wheel at the end of the arm spins at a very high speed, cutting through and grinding the tree stump.
This process is the most effective way of removing a tree stump. It will remove the safety hazards of an exposed tree stump. It also preserves the landscape of your lawn. Most especially, stump grinding ensures that pests – termites, ants, bees, or snakes – will not have a place to nest in the soil on your garden. |
Stump RemovalStump removal not only removes the entire tree stump, but also all of its roots. If you have a lawn and want to preserve its landscape, stump removal is not for you. Tree stumps tend to have roots that might be well over half of the entire lawn. Total stump removal may end up completely destroying the aesthetics of your lawn. However, if you are planning on clearing the lot for a new house or building, full-on stump removal will be beneficial for you.
If you are considering stump removal, we will be happy to consult with you on your available options. |

Is it better to grind a stump or remove it?
Stump grinding is recommended for people who want to preserve the landscapes and aesthetics of their lawn. If the purpose of removing the stump is to have a solid foundation for erecting a building, total stump removal is recommended. In a nutshell, stump grinding and stump removal basically have the same endpoint, the only difference is the landowner’s purpose in removing the stump.
Will stump grinding kill the roots?
Stump grinding will not immediately kill the roots, but tree roots will not re-sprout after stump grinding. The roots will deteriorate over time. It will decompose into the soil, there won’t be a vacuum. Decomposition is very gradual, there will not be much caving-in on the topsoil until after a dozen years. There is no need to worry about having a gaping sinkhole in your yard.
How is stump grinding different from stump removal?
Stump grinding removes the stump by grinding on to the tree trunk until there is no trunk left, the roots of the stump are left to decompose into the soil. It is more manageable than stump removal because stump removal is the total removal of the tree stump with all of its roots. Stump removal endangers the appearance of the lawn.
