What are stump removal and grinding?

This is the process of grinding a stump down to a ground-level so that it no longer sticks out and is essentially flush with the soil. This can be done by using specialized equipment like this stump grinder, which cuts off smaller sections of the stump at a time as it rotates in place.

Benefits of stump removal and grinding

When are stump removal and grinding not advised?

Although we recommend this for most cases of stumps in need of removal, we do still have a few warnings about doing so:

s
If your property already has very little or even limited sunlight reaching its soil, then removing all trees might be worse than leaving them as they are where they stand because without their leaves filtering out some of the sun rays, many plant lives will die off quickly around that area.
s
When dealing with ground roots, especially long ones, some time may be needed to let the ground settle before any more landscaping is done.
s

If you don’t have enough funds for stump removal, then maybe consider doing it in steps if possible, or simply come back another day and get it removed later on.

The process involves stump removal and grinding

The first thing we do is to assess the condition of a stump and determine how much work needs to be done if any at all.
After that, we will either use a hydraulic stump grinder to grind the stump or, if you prefer, we can remove it and haul it off for disposal.

Our team of experts will go as deep into the ground as needed, depending on how high up the roots are growing, their leaves filtering out some of the sun rays. Many plant lives will die off quickly around that area. When dealing with ground roots, especially long ones, some time may be needed to let the ground settle before any more landscaping is done.

Frequently Asked Questions

u

Is it better to grind a stump or remove it?

Stump grinding is better than stump removal because it does not leave a hole and the roots are never exposed. This means that, as soon as stumps have been ground, you can go ahead and plant new trees where your old ones once stood.
u

How long does it take for the ground to settle after stump grinding?

Depending on the size of the stump, it may take up to a month for the ground to settle.
u

Can the whole stump be removed?

Yes! Home County Tree Surgeons can grind stumps as deep as you would like them to go so that they don’t come back again. We also have specialised equipment which enables us to not only remove stumps, but we can also root out any surface roots at all if need be.

How deep do you grind a stump?

We can grind stumps as deep as you would like us to; Home County Tree Surgeons always aim for a stump depth of around 12-14 inches below the surface. This is only so that we are sure the ground won’t settle and cause an issue in the future, but it’s also important because if they’re not up high enough, then there could be problems with drainage etc., which will lead to waterlogging issues.
u

Can I plant a new tree in the previous location of the stump?

Yes! Home County Tree Surgeons will leave your site looking second to none once our work has been completed.
