A tree removal job isn’t complete until the stump left behind is taken care of too. Stump grinding is the process of using a power tool, called a stump cutter, to chip away the remnants of a tree. This can be a backhoe stump grinder attachment or a vertical grinder. The tool’s teeth will gradually turn the stump into mulch, which will then be removed by your tree services company.

Why Is Stump Grinding Important?

Not only do abandoned tree stumps create an eyesore in your yard, but they could also become a tripping hazard. Small ones can be difficult to see, and children and the elderly may struggle to navigate around them. 

Decaying tree stumps can also become a prime nesting ground for all kinds of insects. If one is near your home, pests can have an easier time navigating a path to your interior. Keep them out by having the stump removed.

Also, just because the tree is downed, the remaining stump and roots can keep growing. Next spring, you may find green shoots coming up. With stump grinding, you can remove the need to continually trim back a tree that doesn’t belong in your yard anymore.
