If you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative to stump removal, stump grinding is for you. Stump grinding only involves cutting the tree stump into wood chips using a powered machine. This process grinds the stump below ground level, which kills the roots underneath without having to dig up your garden.

With less people and less time necessary to complete the job, you also pay less. What’s more, we turn the wood chips into mulch that you can use to enhance your garden’s health and aesthetic.

Stump Grinding FAQs

Will a tree stump die on its own?

Yes, but it will take time. A tree’s roots stop growing a few weeks after it is cut down. The stump will die eventually, but the natural decaying process will take anywhere from 3-7 years, and longer for huge trees.

If a tree stump dies eventually, why do I need to have it removed?

A tree stump’s roots will decay in time. And rotting stumps can be home to pests, fungi and organisms that bring diseases that can harm not only humans, but also the plants within the same environment.

Is it better to grind or remove stumps?

Stump removal is the more intrusive process, as it involves digging a hole large enough to allow extraction of the roots ball and the entire root system. Extracting stumps of larger trees may also require cranes, which entails more manpower and longer labour hours. After the extraction, you’ll also need to cover up the hole that has been dug. On the other hand, stump grinding only requires a powered machine, making it more efficient. However, in this process, the tree’s roots do get left behind. It’s best to ask a professional about whether removal or grinding would work best for you, given your purpose for removing the stump.
