Stump Grinding

Having Trees removed often leaves behind a nasty stump. These stumps are not only an eyesore, but they can also leave you with a serious hazard in your yard. Every year, people are injured by stumps. The most common injury is due to tripping and falling, but they can also present a problem for yard equipment.

What Is Stump Grinding?

Stump grinding is a process that requires a high-powered grinder to reduce the tree stump into small pieces of wood (wood chips). The stump can be ground down below ground level. The remaining parts of the stump are then covered with topsoil. This allows for the root structure to decay over time. Stump grinding is a rather simple process requiring a stump grinding machine. This makes the process fast and efficient. Whereas, full stump removal can require more equipment, is more labor intensive, and therefore costs more. Russ’s Tree service can quickly evaluate your needs based on your time and budget as well as the requirements for the stump itself and provide the needed service so you can get that peace restored to your oasis.

What Is Stump Removal?

A full stump removal takes out the entire stump and root ball of the tree. With large trees, this requires a heavy-duty crane that is large enough to handle the weight and size of the root ball. It is for this reason that we typically recommend stump grinding. With smaller trees and limited root structures, we can provide full stump removal services as long as it does not threaten the foundation or other structures on your property. Russ’s Tree Service can quickly evaluate your property and recommend the best, safest, and most cost effective solution to your tree removal needs.

Although tree removal involves the use of heavy equipment, we take every precaution possible to avoid any damage to lawns, homes and surrounding landscaping. With ISA certified arborists on staff, Russ’s Tree Service can also advise you of existing or potential problems with other trees on your property.
