What is stump grinding?

Stumps are usually grinded with a machine that allows us to ground 4-7" below ground level. The machine used is powerful enough to grind the stump that produces small chips of bark that can be used for mulch in the same area to cover the stump hole area. Grinding is done only if the remaining stump if the stump is not close to wires, foundation or house structure. This also keeps unwanted trees from growing back.

Grinding may not be an alternative, depending on the situation. After removing a tree, we can cut the tree to the clients' preferred height. At times, if in the appropriate location the trunk can be used as a creative measure to add a planter for decoration. Keep in mind that if the trunk is not treated, it may start to get rotten and get terminates.  Also, depending on the type of tree, you might want to keep the wood for yourself.
