Stump Grinding
Notice the teeth on both sides of the grinding wheel.
Stump grinding is the last step in the removal of a tree. Instead of allowing the stump in the ground to re-grow shoots from the living root system the next spring, we use a large grinder to break the stump down into chips. Stumps are ground to a point below the root mass to isolate the roots and prevent ongoing root damage. After we grind a stump, you can plant a new tree in the same location without root binding.
We usually leave the chips for the homeowner as they make excellent mulch or we can optionally clean-up and remove them for you. We can also arrange for someone to backfill and seed or complete your landscaping plans where the stump was.
The stump is ground in multiple passes with the grinding wheel moving from left to right and then back from right to left.
