Stump Grinding Explained: What It Is and Why It Matters

Stump Icon

Stump grinding is the process of mechanically removing a tree stump using specialized equipment that grinds the wood down below ground level. Unlike full stump removal, which involves digging out roots and disturbing surrounding soil, grinding is efficient, low-impact, and highly effective for most residential and commercial properties.
This process leaves the area ready for fresh landscaping, new sod, or replanting—without the risk of regrowth or long-term decay.

Tree Stumps: Why Removal Is Better Than Letting Them Rot

  • Prevent Hazards: Tree stumps are tripping hazards, especially for children, pets, and lawn equipment.
  • Avoid Pest Infestations: Decaying wood attracts termites, ants, and fungi that can spread to nearby trees or buildings.
  • Stop Root Regrowth: Some tree species attempt to sprout new shoots from the stump or root system.
  • Improve Appearance: Stumps can detract from your property’s curb appeal and limit your landscaping options.
  • Ease of Maintenance: Mowing and gardening around a stump is inconvenient and frustrating.

At Techer’s Tree Service, our team uses professional-grade stump grinders that are powerful, precise, and compact enough to access hard-to-reach areas. Whether it’s a large tree stump in a front yard or multiple stumps on a commercial lot, we ensure minimal disruption to your property.

Is Stump Grinding Always Necessary?

Not every stump needs to be removed, but in many cases, it’s the best long-term choice—especially when:

  • The stump is decaying or diseased
  • You’re planning a landscaping project or home sale
  • The stump is close to walkways or driveways
  • There’s a risk of pest attraction or regrowth

FAQs

How deep do you grind the stump?
We typically grind stumps 4 to 6 inches below ground level, which is enough to prevent regrowth and allow for grass or soil cover. Deeper grinding is available upon request.
Will stump grinding remove the roots too?
Stump grinding removes the visible stump and part of the root flare. Major roots may remain underground, but they will naturally decay over time.
Can you grind a stump near a fence or structure?
Yes, our equipment is designed to handle tight spaces safely. We’ll assess your site first to ensure no damage to surrounding areas.
What happens to the wood chips?
You can choose to keep the wood chips as mulch, or we can haul them away for an additional fee. Most clients prefer to use them in their garden beds or landscaping.
Is stump grinding better than stump removal?
For most homeowners, stump grinding is more practical and less invasive than full stump removal. It’s quicker, more affordable, and easier on your landscaping.
