When a tree is removed, stump grinding is a crucial next step to finish the job. If left undone, stumps can lead to new tree growth while also becoming an attractive sanctuary for ants, bees, termites, and other pests.
Here are our 4 steps for tree stump removal:
- Evaluate the area. We always ensure a safe area before we begin. This includes marking any utility lines as well as any above-ground roots or other obstructions that might interfere with the process.
- Prepare the proper equipment. Stump grinding is best done with professional-grade equipment. Depending on the size of the stump, we select the right equipment for the job to ensure it is safely and thoroughly ground down.
- Certified professional stump grinding. To ensure the stump is completely removed, it needs to be ground all the way down so the roots can also die out. Especially with larger stumps, this also requires the use of a self-propelled grinder, which requires trained and experienced operation for safe handling. We make sure the stump is completely taken care of so that it disappears without a trace.
- Inspection and filling. We inspect the area to ensure the stump is completely taken care of and backfill the hole as needed so the ground can recover.
