Stump Grinding
After removal of the tree, stumps are cut off as close to ground level as practicable.
A machine called a stump grinder can grind the stump down to a certain depth. This may be required so you can...
  • Replant over it
  • Pave or concrete over the area
  • Aesthetics, so unsightly stumps aren't seen

Alternatively an excavator or backhoe can dig the stump & root ball out. This may be an option where increased depth is required or roots need to be extracted.
Stump grinding is no guarantee that termites will not infest the area as in many instances, roots, debris or timber may remain in the ground. We recommend you to consult a pest controller.
Homeowners who have had a tree cut down on their property often find themselves with the left behind tree stump to contend with.  Stumps left behind from tree cutting can be variously described as unsightly, taking up valuable gardening space, and even hazardous.

Nature
Simply covering the stump with soil will eventually lead to the stump's decay.  Once it has rotted enough it can usually be removed with an axe and/or shovel.  Unfortunately depending on the size of the stump this process could take many months or years.

Stump Grinding
Stump grinders come in a variety of sizes from the size of a lawn mower to nearly as big as a small car.  Most accomplish their task by means of a high-speed disk with specially designed teeth that grind the stump and underground roots into small chips. We have high quality equipment to rid you of your unsightly stump.
