What is Stump Grinding?

Stump grinding is the most common method of efficiently removing a tree stump. It is the process of grinding the stump using a stump grinder. When stumps are removed, you clear the trip and fall hazards on your property from these obstructions that are just out in the open. Stumps house and provide nutrients for fungi, pests, and unwanted plants, and when they are crushed and removed, these problems are eliminated. Lastly, unlike stump removal which creates a big hole that needs to be covered, stump grinding is less intrusive on your landscaping.

Stump Grinding Process

We use a heavy-duty professional stump grinder to mechanically crush and grind a tree stump into small pieces. Our experienced operator directs the blade over the stump to take it down below the ground level, usually up to 20 inches. You can then use the freshly shredded tree stump and roots for mulching.

Should you rent a stump grinder or let the pros do it?

For a one-time stump removal project, renting a stump and doing the work yourself seems like the cheaper option. Stump grinder rental is around $150 to $250 a day. However, there are things to consider before doing a DIY stump grinding.

Ask these questions. Do you know how to operate and maneuver a stump grinder? Does the equipment rental have the right size for the stumps you want to be removed? Can you complete the job in a day? Do you have a containment barrier to control the flying chips and debris? Do you have personal safety equipment such as goggles, a face shield, and protective footwear? How much will all these cost? Are you grinding a stump on a flat surface or a slope?

If you don’t have a good answer to any of the questions above, we recommend that you hire a professional stump grinder to grind your stump for you. Stump grinding is a dangerous task. Extreme caution must be exercised to avoid accidents and injuries. Experienced stump grinding companies have trained crews who can safely and efficiently do the job.

Moreover, you may save more by hiring a stump grinder provider as they may offer discounts if you need more than one stump removed. You can repurpose the wood chips or ask them to haul them away. You can always negotiate for the best price depending on how big the job is, the landscape, and the distance of your property from the depot.
