Stump Grinding
We do it Right The First Time
Stump grinding is one of the most effective ways to remove tree stumps. It’s essential to remove the stumps of a tree before they cause any damage to the surrounding area.
Rotting tree stumps can spread disease, attract unwanted insects, and reduce your curb appeal. Stump grinding is a service that homeowners may be able to complete
themselves. However, a professional company like Conner Tree Service can make the
process easier and more effective. We will grind the stump down into chips, rake the
chips, haul the chips away, and fill the hole with topsoil.
As a property owner, you can grind the stump yourself or have a professional do it for
you. If you do it yourself, you’ll need to know how to do it correctly. The biggest
drawback of DIY stump grinding is that it can be dangerous. You must be extremely
careful when using a stump grinder because you could get hurt if you don’t have the
right equipment. If you’re not confident about doing it yourself, you should hire a
professional.
If you’re planning to build over the stump’s location, it’s recommended that you have
your stump completely removed instead. Even though stump grinding removes the
above-the-ground growth, the remaining stump and root system will continue to decay, which will cause a shift in your foundation. However, total stump removal can be expensive because it requires heavy equipment to uproot the stump and root system. The root system can make a big mess in your yard if it is expansive. Most homeowners choose to grind their tree stumps because they don’t want to disrupt their manicured lawns.
Conner Tree Service specializes in multiple tree services. If you have a question about
whether you should grind or remove your stump, give us a call! We will be happy to help you. We use the best equipment to complete each job and have the experience to do a good job.

1. Grind the stump:
We will use our powerful stump grinder to safely cut into the stump and turn it into chips. We will grind the stump well below the ground.

After we grind the stump, we’ll rake and remove the chips. Tree stumps produce a lot of chips during the grinding process. We will clean up the mess, so you don’t need to do it yourself.

Once we’ve raked the chips and loaded them into our truck or trailer, we’ll haul them away.
4. Level it out:
After we’ve hauled the chips away, we’ll level it out by filling the hole with topsoil and packing it down to produce a clean slate for your yard.

FAQ
A stump grinder is a powerful tool used to remove tree stumps by grinding them down into small pieces. It typically consists of a rotating cutting disk with sharp teeth that grind the stump and roots into small chips. Stump grinders are commonly used in landscaping and construction projects to eliminate unsightly stumps and clear the ground for new planting or construction.
Yes, you can build or pave over the area where a stump was ground out, but it's important to ensure that all of the remaining roots have been removed. Otherwise, the roots can continue to decay and cause the soil to shift, which can damage any structures or pavement above. It's best to hire a professional tree removal service to grind the stump and ensure that all of the roots have been removed before building or paving over the area.
No, a stump grinder is not the same thing as a stump remover. A stump grinder is a tool used to grind the stump and roots into small pieces, while leaving the tree's roots in place. A stump remover, on the other hand, is a chemical solution that is applied to the stump to accelerate the decay process and make it easier to remove. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between them depends on factors such as the size of the stump, the location, and the intended use of the space.
