If you have had a tree fall or have had a tree recently removed from your property often times there is a stump left behind. Our expert stump removal service team are trained to remove all remnants of stumps from your property. We leave no traces of the tree by removing exposed roots and grinding the trunk to below ground level. With years of experience and advanced equipment, your stump removal can be finished in as little as one day.

STUMP GRINDING VS. PULLING

There are generally two accepted methods for the removal of stumps depending on the situation. Typically our team uses a stump grinder to turn the trunk into wood chips. This is the method that we recommend when removing stumps because it is more economical, cost-effective, and less time-consuming. However, in some scenarios, a stubborn stump must be “pulled” out of the ground. Typically this method entails removing the entire stump and root ball at the same time. This method can sometimes be unsafe as the machinery and technique needed to remove the stump this way poses more risks.

WHAT IS STUMP GRINDING?

When it comes to stump removal, stump grinding is the primary and preferred method for stump removal. It uses a heavy machine to grind the stump into tiny pieces until there is nothing left sitting above the soil line. Our team is trained to ensure that the stump is ground down as far as possible to ensure that the root ball is damaged enough to prevent future growth.

WHY SHOULD YOU TRUST A PROFESSIONAL?

Stump removal to many homeowners seems like a simple process. You could try and find a stump grinder and dispose of the stump yourself. However, this can be unsafe and without experience can take a long time. In addition to this, some homeowners attempt to “pull” the stump out of the ground themselves. This can sometimes lead to serious damage both to the parties involved and their property.

 

Stump removal and stump grinding should be left to trained professionals. Failure to know how to properly operate the machinery or how to properly “pull” a stump can be hazardous.
