Your tree was cut down; now there’s an unsightly stump in the yard. It can cause issues with mowing, future landscaping plans, and insects. Stump grinding is a safe and efficient process that allows you to reclaim and rejuvenate your precious outdoor space. Use the guide below to learn more.

What is Stump Grinding?

A large metal blade is used to grind away the stump. The blade moves at a very fast rotation, turning the stump into sawdust. Depending on the stump’s size and where the roots are, the blade may sink one to 12 inches into the ground. Due to safety reasons, it’s best to hire a professional stump removal expert.

Grinding does not get rid of the root ball—the mass of roots and dirt at the bottom of the tree—which can be larger than the stump. The roots will eventually die off, but depending on the type of tree and how far its root structure extends, this may take years.

Advantages of Stump Grinding

The sawdust generated Stump Grindingfrom the stump grinding can be used as mulch for gardens and other landscaping projects. Grinding is the least expensive way to remove stumps and requires little time to perform. This gives the homeowner an opportunity to remove the stump quickly. This also allows a homeowner to never have to worry about both the aesthetic and hazardous issues of the stump.
