Stump Grinding

Stump grinding is the process of using specialised equipment to grind down a tree stump to below ground level. This is necessary because tree stumps left behind after tree removal can be unsightly and take up valuable space in your yard. Stump grinding is the most efficient and effective way to get rid of a tree stump. In the case of noxious weeds it can be necessary to stop regrowth.

Yes, stump grinding is a safe process when done by a trained professional. Stump grinding equipment can be dangerous if not used correctly, which is why it's important to hire a professional stump grinding service with experience in handling this type of equipment.

After stump grinding, the resulting wood chips and debris can be left on-site, or they can be hauled away by the stump grinding service. We can also offer to fill in the hole left behind by the stump with the grindings or with soil, depending on your preference.

The time it takes to grind a stump depends on the size and complexity of the stump. Small stumps can usually be ground down in just a few hours, while larger stumps or stumps with extensive root systems may take several hours or even a full day to grind. Your stump grinding service can give you a more accurate estimate of how long the process will take.
