What is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding is an easier, cheaper and quicker alternative to digging up stumps. Additionally, this eliminates any chance of new root growth sprouting up beneath them.
Stumps can take up valuable space in your yard and pose a risk to children and seniors. Furthermore, they compete for water and nutrients with future plantings, leaving less for your flowers to flourish.

Stumps can be dangerous tripping hazards and difficult to mow and garden around, while being an unsightly feature in any yard. Furthermore, stumps often encourage pests and diseases to spread to nearby trees, plants and shrubs and they're known as magnets for termites.
Stump grinding is the practice of using specialized equipment known as a stump grinder to dismantle tree stumps using rotating blades that grind them down into mulch or sawdust, leaving behind an empty space which can later be filled by filling it in with soil or planting new trees.
Traditional stump removal involves digging out and uprooting all of a stump's roots, which can be costly and labor intensive. By contrast, stump grinding requires less manpower, does not disturb surrounding plant roots, and costs significantly less than full root removal.

Tree stumps occupy valuable real estate in your yard, taking away from space you could use for other landscaping or recreational activities. Not only that, they present a trip hazard which could potentially injure passersby, particularly children and seniors who walk through your lawn. By grinding away unnecessary stumps from your garden space, Stump Grinding allows you to plant what you wish in that spot of your garden.
Professional stump grinders utilize a machine known as a stump grinder, a mechanical contraption designed to grind away at stumps and root systems into mulch sized pieces. After making sure their work area is safe for operation – including having adequate footing, no electrical lines nearby and no obstructions – they will put on safety gear (hard hats, eye protection, earplugs gloves chainsaw safety pants and work boots) before setting out on their task of grinding away your unwanted stump.
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding involves using a specialized machine to shred stump and roots into mulch-sized wood chips, creating an open hole that can be filled in with soil or used as planter bed space or garden bed; additionally, wood chips from this process may also be reused as organic mulch material.
An unsightly stump can pose serious tripping hazards to children and seniors who may not notice it until it's too late. Grinding away these trip hazards helps eliminate injuries.
Stump grinding is often performed by professionals, but anyone can undertake it as a DIY project as long as proper precautions are taken – including wearing protective gear, clearing away rocks and debris before starting up the machine, reading all operating instructions carefully, etc.

Stump grinding involves using a machine to reduce unwanted tree stumps to the ground, providing an alternative to pulling. Pulling can be expensive and time consuming.
Leaves left lying around can attract unwanted pests like termites, ants, and wood bees which will eventually find their way into healthy trees, gardens, and houses if left standing. Grinding rids your yard of this breeding and nesting ground by eliminating potential breeding and nesting areas for these bugs.
After grinding down a stump, its remains become mulch, which can be used in multiple ways throughout your yard. Flower beds and compost piles benefit greatly from adding mulch; wood chips may even be used as firepit fuel! We advise raking up debris after stump grinding has taken place to prevent it from creating a mess in your lawn after rainstorms have taken place; especially important when wet conditions exist.
