What is stump grinding ?

After a tree is removed and a stump remines, a grinder is a fast and efficient way to remove them. The machine spins a cutting wheel sweeping at the stump, reducing it into chips and dust.

What will be left where the stump was?

Grinding the stump away produces a mix of woodchips and soil. This is either spread out or piled up over the site depending on the size of the stump, piles of mulch will breakdown over time and weather. The grindings also offer great mulch for garden beds.

Can I replant on the site?

Yes! However, depending on the size and access to the stump the machine may only grind to a certain depth, meaning some large roots and stump bases may remain under ground. These will, once disconnected from the main stump, quickly rot once covered by soil allowing for planting at a later date.

Can I grass over the ground out stump?

If the stump was located in a lawn and you wish to grass over, it is best to remove all grindings and replace with soil as grindings will rot away leaving a divot.
