Why grind a stump
- Stumps are trip hazards and get in the way of mowing.
- Many species keep sending up sprouts from the stump and roots.
- Rotting stumps can attract insects.
- Grinding frees up the space for lawn, garden beds or construction.
How it works
A stump grinder chews the stump down below ground level. The grindings can be raked back into the hole, or used as mulch. Once the hole settles, add topsoil and seed, or plant something new nearby.
With a removal or on its own
Stump grinding can be added to any tree removal, or done on its own for old stumps already in your yard.
