The Importance of Stump Grinding

Published On: June 29th, 20212.6 min read

After cutting down a tree, you may find yourself left with a question about what to do with the unsightly stump that is left behind. Do you leave it in your yard as is?  Do you grind the stump or choose to pull it out with an excavator?

Stump grinding is our go-to!  It’s an important step in the tree removal process and is an affordable, minimally invasive option for stump removal. Here are some things to consider as you are wrapping up your tree removal project.

Prevent the Stump from Sprouting

With time you’ll notice sprouting from the stump. You may try to pluck them out with pruning sheers, but they’ll grow back after a week or two.  Species such as ash, maple, and willow are especially prolific when it comes to resprouting.  Stump grinding is a lasting solution to this problem.

That’s why you should call our tree removal company for reliable stump grinding services. We’ll grind the stump to be lower than the soil level and eliminate the chance that the tree will regrow.

Enhance Your Home’s Outdoor Safety

It can be hazardous to have a stump above the ground in a highly trafficked area around your property, especially if you have young kids. The kids may trip on the stump when running and playing outside, leading to injuries. Also, the stump will make it difficult to mow the lawn and may damage the lawnmower.

You need to evaluate the various methods for getting rid of this stump to increase outdoor safety. Consider seeking a stump grinding service from the top company near you. The objective is to grind the stump to a level where it’s no longer a tripping hazard.

Avoid Creating an Insects’ Habitat

The decaying stump provides a great habitat for wood-eating pests like termites and ants. At first, these insects may seem harmless until they start getting into your home. For example, termites are known to cause massive property damages.

You must take all necessary measures to repel these insects by destroying anything they can use as a habitat.

Improves Your Outdoor Appearance

Excavating a tree stump disturbs a large portion of your yard, and you risk uprooting other plantings.  It can also be costly to dispose of the stump and roots once pulled out of the ground. That’s why stump grinding is preferable, as you minimize these risks.

Our company will take care of all the heavy lifting for you.  We will grind the stump, get rid of the debris, fill the hole, and plant grass seed, thereby improving the overall appearance of your yard.

We had the A-team on our big job of 14+ trees (13 dead ash) in 3 different areas of our property, none of which were particularly easy to get to. With the added bonus of having drainage throughout the yard and avoiding the septic tank. I had 3 other companies come and look, one ghosted me!! 1 came and said no thank you, the third gave me a similar quote to Justin's, but you could tell he didn't want the job and wasn't as clear about how he'd go about it. Justin came in and was completely confident on how his team could get it done. And with a bucket truck - no cranes needed. (two of the above were talking cranes). Kyle, Kyle and Not Kyle (Cody) were great!! They worked hard and got it all done in 3 days!! They were nice, easy to talk to, piled the massive amount of trees in a great spot for the log truck. I thought taking down dead trees wouldn't open things up that much, but wow did it! I love how open and cleared out everything looks!! Lindsey and Kate were fabulous and accommodating talking about the cost of the job and log truck. And now I can add flowers and plants in the brighter area. FYI probably not going to plant trees... but some rhodies if I can keep the deer off them. (O: Thank you to ArborTech!! Cheers, until I can budget for the backyard.

The tree estimate and removal process had a quick turnaround (one week) and was coordinated around my schedule. Very accommodating. The team that showed up for the job was very professional and asked questions along the way to better meet my needs. Very affordable and highly recommend to anyone needing work done with trees!

I more than appreciate great workers...your crew is amazing! the physical ability, the mathematical knowledge even if innate, and the eye for art (cleaning up my white pines to beautiful trees) is a hard combo to find in someone. Your climber has all those skills and more. Your pricing was very reasonable! The care your crew took to ensure everything was clean and in better condition than when they came was more than apreciated by me. Even my neighbors said something! Thank you! I will call you again for future tree maintenance!

We enjoy working with the Arbortech team, from start to finish. Professional and respectful. We just had 8, 100 ft + trees removed and could not be happier with the results. We recommend Arbortech.

I needed to have a large Norway maple tree removed and wanted to get at least three estimates. Eric's tree service came out and gave me a somewhat reasonable quote of $3500, then a week later before I had gotten another estimate from a different company Eric's tree service texted me and said they'd be in the area the following week, I called them and they said they had to revisit the estimate. They came back out continued to tell me her personal problems and that my neighbor would have to move his trailer. She then sent me a new quote of $7231!!! I called Arbortech and Justin came over on the day scheduled and was my most reasonable quote! He also said my neighbor wouldn't need to move his trailer. Justin and his crew arrived on time and did a phenomenal job!! They are true professionals! They cleaned up everything. They had had to remove a fence panel and when they put it back it was more secure than it had been when it had been originally installed. Justin's quote was $4700 less than Eric's! This experience with Arbortech was purely positive I highly recommend this company! Thank you Justin, Lindsey and the rest of the crew, you guys rock!!

The service I received from everyone at Arbortech for a tree removal was absolutely wonderful. Any questions and concerns I had were answered and reassured. Justin and Lindsey were both so helpful and the value I paid for this service was outstanding. Super reasonable, and I would recommend Arbortech to anyone in need of any tree service. Super grateful and happy. If I could figure out how to add pictures to my review, I would. They did an incredible job with not just the tree removal itself, but also with a brush pile I also had taken care of. Again, highly recommend Arbortech for anyone who is in need of any type of tree service. Couldn’t be more pleased!
