If a tree needs to be removed on your property, you should also invest in stump grinding services so that the remnants don’t create a tripping hazard or clutter the outdoor space. After the appointment, you can repurpose the grindings to enhance your landscaping even further. Here are a few helpful uses for this material.

What to Do With Stump Grindings

1. Make Compost

Organic material, like stump grindings, can serve as fertilizer for your yard after you compost it. Composting is easy, and it can be done in a large container with a few steps. Combine the wood chips with other organic material, like fruit and vegetable scraps or garden waste. Allow the mixture to decompose for several months, then apply it to your garden once the wood pieces have started to break down.

2. Use Them as Mulch

Wood chips can be used as mulch, and this organic material can be placed around trees and plants to insulate their soil. The mulch will keep water from evaporating and regulate ground temperatures to support healthy growth. It’ll also provide a clean and finished look, covering bare soil in the yard or flower beds.

3. Use Them on Pathways

Use wood chips to define pathways around your yard by covering walkways with the material. You can also install large paver bricks and use the stump grindings to fill the space around them. This will prevent weeds from growing between the pavers.
