Why Should You Dump the Stump?

Removing an unsightly stump from your yard can totally change the way your landscaping looks. Stump removal is especially useful if you’re planning on putting your home on the market in the near future, as a clean yard adds major curb appeal (and a huge stump takes away from your otherwise-beautiful landscaping). Stumps are also dangerous, as kids and adults can trip over them and get injured if they aren’t paying attention. Tree stumps can also cause headaches while you mow the lawn.

Stump Removal

As the name indicates, stump removal takes the entire stump of the tree, including the roots, out of the ground. This can be a difficult process depending on the age and size of the tree, so hiring a professional is critical to getting the entire stump out. The root ball that is removed can be anywhere from four to ten times the size of the actual tree itself! We can assess your tree removal and determine whether stump removal is possible or if stump grinding is a better option.

Stump Grinding

Stump grinding is a simpler process that gets rid of the remaining stump after tree removal. A stump grinder, a heavy-duty piece of equipment, is used to pulverize the remaining stump and turn it into small mulch-like pieces. The stump is ground down below the surface of the ground, typically a few inches below, and then covered by dirt and sod. Over time, the roots and remaining stump will decay and fertilize the yard that they sit beneath.
