Stump Grinding or Digging out a stumpThere are many different ways to eliminate a tree stump. The two most efficient ways are to grind them out with a stump grinding machine or to dig it out with hand or power tools. Tree stumps are removed for aesthetics or safely. Not all stumps need to be removed as they will feed other living plan material with their rotting root system. |

Tree Stump Debris RemovalOnce a tree stump has been ground out using a stump grinder machine you are left with stump grindings. You can use the stump grindings in your gardens or under the drip line of any tree or shrub. They will decompose over time and help feed the existing trees & shrubs. |

Re-LandscapeIf you are planning to re-landscape the areas where the tree stumps were with screened or triple-mix topsoil and grass seed or sod, you will want to make sure you remove all stump grindings to minimize the ground from sinking and mushrooms growing up in that area. A properly remediated stump area in a lawn area should return to a healthy lawn in 2-3 weeks depending on conditions. |
