Stump Grinding FAQ

  • Do a stump’s roots die after the stump is ground away?

    Most of the time, yes, the roots will remain underground and decompose. However, for trees that tend to produce root sprouts such as many deciduous trees, remaining roots can produce new trees even after a stump has been ground away. We offer additional services for these situations.

  • Can I use a chainsaw to grind a stump rather than a stump grinder?

    No. This is not a good idea. A stump grinder is designed to interact with both wood and dirt, whereas a chainsaw chain will become dull quickly upon contact with the ground, making the work harder and harder with time and probably requiring a new chain after the job is done. Besides, a stump grinder is far faster.

  • How much do stump removal services cost? Is it cheaper than renting a grinder and doing the work myself?

    This depends on a variety of factors, including the size of the stumps and the access we can gain to the job site. However, we can say that the costs of hiring a professional stump grinding service are comparable to renting a grinder. Besides this, there are the added benefits of not having to haul the grinder to and from the rental store, and not having to run the machine yourself.

  • What are the advantages of stump grinding over removal?

    There are several benefits including (1) Cost – in many cases grinding a stump is cheaper than removing it completely (2) Time – because the labor involved in removing a stump is more than that for grinding, it usually takes quite a bit longer (3) Impact – grinding very specifically targets only the stump and only the parts you need removed, thus not tearing up more of your yard than necessary.
