Everything You Need to Know About Stump Grinding vs. Stump Removal

Stumps from downed, decayed or dead trees and shrubs can be both an eyesore and a safety hazard in your yard. Removing or grinding down a stump can make it easier to mow the lawn and reduces the chances of someone tripping over it or kids running into it during play. Grinding down a stump after a tree or shrub has been removed can also help to prevent the growth of new trees from sprouting around the stump, as well as remove a habitat for pests and diseases. In some cases, getting rid of a stump is necessary to make room for new landscaping or construction projects, so it is important to consider all these factors when deciding the best way to handle a stump on your property.
