Stump Grinding

Elite Tree Services understands removing a stump through grinding provides many benefits such as keeping your yard safe by eliminating tripping hazards. Grinding out the stump also eliminates the habitat for termites, ants, bees, snakes, and other animals to maintain a beautiful lawn.

There are differences between stump grinding and stump removal. Choosing stump grinding over stump removal provides less impact on your landscaping, minimal cost compared to stump removal, and no extra dirt is required to fill in the former “stump hole”. The grindings from the ground out stump can also be used as mulch!

Unlike stump removal, no damage to your landscaping and no large hole remains after the stump is ground out. The grindings, as well as any dirt around the area, are used to fill in the hole after the stump has been ground out. Any extra mulch can be used for landscaping.

The stump diameter, type of tree, height, and the amount of surface roots will all be a factor on determining the cost of grinding out a stump. Unlike the large machinery used when removing a stump, stump grinding requires one small machine that does not tear up the yard or leave marks in the driveway. The grinding equipment will only need a minimum of 36″ to fit through a fence gate or other tight entryway.
