If you’re not sure which option you need, here’s everything you should know about stump grinding and removal.

What Is Stump Grinding and Removal?

Although both services deal with getting rid of a leftover tree stump, there’s an important difference between the two:

🪵 Stump Grinding
This method uses a machine to grind the stump down below ground level. It’s fast, efficient, and ideal when you want the area clear but don’t need to dig out the roots. The wood chips can even be reused as mulch.

🌳 Stump Removal
This is a more complete process that involves removing the entire stump and root system. It takes more effort but is best if you’re planning to replant, pave, or build over the area.

Both methods leave your garden safer, cleaner, and ready for whatever comes next.

Why You Should Remove a Tree Stump

Leaving a tree stump might seem harmless, but over time it can cause problems such as:

❌ Trip Hazards – Exposed stumps and roots are easy to trip over, especially in lawns or play areas.
🐜 Pest Attraction – Decaying wood attracts insects, fungi, and sometimes even rodents.
🌱 Regrowth Issues – Some species can regrow shoots from the old stump, leading to new unwanted growth.
🏡 Aesthetic Impact – Old stumps can spoil the look of an otherwise tidy garden.

Removing or grinding your stump is a simple way to keep your outdoor space safe, neat, and usable.
