Two Approaches

Stump Grinding Vs. Stump Removal

There are two different approaches when it comes to ridding your property from an unwanted stump. Here is how they differ.

Stump Grinding

The most common and less destructive method. Using a specialized machine, your stump will be ground down 4–6 inches, then recovered with mulch and dirt. The stump will then be left to break down and decompose naturally.

Stump Removal

Stump removal is the process of taking the entire stump, roots, and all — the right call when the ground needs to be genuinely clear for paving, building or replanting.

Don’t Leave It Sitting

Did You Know?

Did you know rotting tree stumps attract insects, parasites and even develop mold if left untouched? The last thing you need to worry about is a termite infestation or mold spreading on your property. Did you also know that a stump can resprout into a shrub or tree? In other words, don’t let your stump just sit there. Give us a call today to remove it before other problems can arise.

  • Attracts insects and parasites
  • Can develop mold
  • Risk of termite infestation
  • Can resprout into a shrub or tree
  • Trip hazard underfoot
  • Damage to drives, paths and foundations

Common Questions

Stump Grinding FAQs

What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?

Stump grinding is the most common and less destructive method — a specialized machine grinds the stump down 4–6 inches, then it is recovered with mulch and dirt and left to decompose naturally. Stump removal takes the entire stump, roots and all.

How far down do you grind a stump?

Around 4–6 inches below grade. The hollow is then recovered with mulch and dirt so the lawn can be made good over the top.

What happens if I just leave the stump?

Rotting stumps attract insects and parasites and can develop mold. They can also resprout into a shrub or tree, and they remain a trip hazard and a risk to driveways, sidewalks and foundations.

Do you grind stumps from trees you did not remove?

Yes. Whether we took the tree down or it has been sitting there for years, give us a call and we will quote the stump on its own.
