Tree removal services often leave behind unattractive stumps that can lead to potentially dangerous tripping or mowing hazards. While there are numerous methods for removing tree stumps, such as digging, burning, or even pulling them out, stump grinding is perhaps the easiest and most effective. Here’s why you should schedule this service with tree professionals.

The Benefits of Tree Stump Grinding

1. No Dangerous Holes

Grinding employs a hand-operated grinding machine to wear down the surface of the stump until it sits a few inches beneath the soil line. Unlike alternative methods, including tree pulling or digging, grinding leaves the stump flush with the ground, preventing tripping hazards and eliminating any dangerous or unsightly holes that would eventually need to be refilled.

2. Environmentally Friendly

With stump grinding, the stump is left intact, where it will eventually decay and feed the surrounding soil, leaving delicate root structures in place. Additionally, any leftover wood debris can be recycled and used as mulch in flower and garden beds. It can also be used to help prevent erosion in your landscaping.

3. Maintain the Beauty of Your Yard

Removing leftover tree stumps adds to the beauty and safety of your property, improving its overall appearance. Stump grinding allows you to eliminate stumps anywhere in your yard without damaging your landscaping, grass, or fence lines. Because the stumps are ground into the soil, bare spots in your landscaping and grass can easily be covered with soil or patch-filled with sod.
