If you have ever had a tree removed on your property, you know what's always left behind is a stump, which can be a nightmare to remove. Should you find yourself in need of a tree stump being removed, or at least reduced to the ground level, one way to approach this problem is a stump grinding service. This method comes highly recommended by Alton Tree Services and is an effective solution for ridding your yard of any unsightly debris without creating additional holes and weaknesses. Read on to discover why stump grinding is useful and how you could benefit from it during your next tree removal service by Alton Tree Services.

Why Stump Grinding is Beneficial

For those who have never taken advantage of the stump grinding services offered by this West Hartford, CT, tree removal company, it might seem a little odd to not entirely remove the stump from the ground. But what ends up happening with stump grinding is that a large machine grinds the trunk down to a near-sawdust texture, leaving small wood chips and bits where the tree used to be. Here are the top three benefits that come from having Alton Tree Services grind your stump down to the ground:

• Smooths The Lawn: When a tree stump is pulled from the earth, you usually have a large hole left behind, as well as a muddy area in your yard when it rains, at least until the grass grows back. This is not the case with stump grinding. This process eliminates the need for a hole to be dug around the base of the tree and leaves the area filled with an even layer of small wood chips where the tree used to be.
• Prevent Pests: Roots that are pulled out with the tree tend to leave tunnels, which become ideal for insects, snakes, and rodents looking for a place to live. Stump grinding leaves the roots in the ground and allows them to deteriorate on their own once the tree is gone.
• Easy On The Budget: One of the best things about stump grinding is that it can be a lot easier on your budget. Since there’s no additional debris to haul away and almost no hole to fill in, the simple process of grinding down the base of the tree will cost less.
