Thorough Stump Grinding and Removal

Daniel Stevens grinding out a large pine tree stump to a depth of 12″. Plywood sheets are used to protect windows from debris.

Stumps can be unsightly and hazardous obstructions. They can also attract termites. When a tree is removed, the stump may continue to grow back. We have the equipment and experience necessary to properly remove and grind your stumps, thus preventing future problems.

This time-saving service allows us to efficiently remove even large stumps to a depth of 12 inches below ground-level. This is usually deep enough to break up the root ball and allow replanting in the same location. 4-5 inches below ground is sufficient to grow grass over the remnants of the stump. While some trees are small enough to be dug out by hand, stump grinding is the best option for larger stumps.

Watch the stump grinding time lapse video below to see how it works:
