When cutting the trees, whether by yourself or through hiring tree services, the stumps are left behind. Some companies don’t cover the removal of stumps in the contract. For the others, they are an added service at a pricey cost. If you don’t remove them, they will leave an eyesore to your backyard and may even pose some safety risks.

This means that this task is usually done by the homeowners. Doing it manually is just close to impossible. The work required is just not ideal and will not even get the job done entirely right. This is where stump grinding comes in.

Stump grinding is much less intrusive, a lot quicker and also less harmful to the surrounding environment. This process involves arborists using a special machine to grind the stump down to wood chipping’s that can be used as mulch elsewhere.
