Stump grinding is the safe and efficient process of removing tree stumps so that an area can be used for a different purpose like construction, infrastructure development etc. Stump grinding is carried out with the help of a stump grinder. A stump grinder is a heavy piece of machinery which consists of a hydraulic arm and a steel cutting wheel. The cutting wheel is located at the end of the arm, it has sharp teeth and rotates at a very high velocity which allows it to cut through and grind the tree stump. This piece of machinery can be very dangerous; hence it should only be operated by trained and experienced professionals.

What does stump grinding do?

Stump grinding ensures that the stump is completely removed, thereby eliminating any accidents or injuries that might happen because of an exposed stump. There are many ways to perform stump removal. Some people prefer to dig the tree stump out of the ground but this can create a hole, and you should worry about filling it. You could also wait for the tree stump to naturally decay and decompose but this could take years. Therefore, stump grinding is the best way to remove any tree stump quickly and with ease.

What is the purpose of stump grinding?

The purpose of stump grinding is to remove an unwanted tree stump that shows up after clearing an area and making sure that the tree stump won't re-sprout with suckering growth around its perimeter. Generally, once you are done with the task of chopping down a tree to make space for your construction, what is left is a sturdy stump. In the long run, that stump can do more harm than good. If you’re working on a construction site, then this stump might come in the way or damage your construction equipment. It may also lead to accidents and injuries. If the stump is in your backyard, then it might be a trip hazard for you and your family.

Moreover, if you decide on planting a tree at the same spot you need to have this stump removed. A decaying stump can later become the home of pests such as termites and carpenter ants and these pests might spread to other trees and later end up invading your property. Also, a tree stump is never aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, to avoid all this, stump removal is necessary.

How much does stump grinding cost?

The cost of stump grinding depends on the amount of time it takes to complete the task. Generally, stump grinding contractors charge anywhere between $120 to $250. On average the cost is around $200 per hour.

What to do with stump grinding debris?

Stump grinding results in wood debris all over the place. As for the exposed roots, you can remove that with the help of clippers or a saw. If the wood and root pieces are free of diseases, then the debris can be used as mulch. This helps to keep down weeds and deters pests on walkways and other landscape areas. Or you can remove all the debris and sawdust and then replace it with topsoil. This will help if you plan on planting a tree or garden in the same spot later.

Instead of chopping down a tree, if you only want to trim its branches then you can have a look at our tree lopping suppliers. If you are looking for materials for landscaping purposes you can also check out landscaping supplies our suppliers sell.
