Stump Grinding

When a tree has been removed, the stump remains. Left to natural devices, it may take many years to break down. In the meantime, the stump may be an inconvenience, unsightly, or even a hazard. The stump can be removed safely, efficiently, and cost effectively by using a specialized piece of equipment called a stump grinder. This machine utilizes a fast rotating wheel with carbide teeth to break the offending stump up into small chips, which can then be removed. Typically, stumps are ground 12 to 18 inches below the surface, effectively removing the stump while doing minimal damage to the lawns, gardens, and surrounding landscapes.
