What is Stump Grinding?
Removing the tree stump left behind after tree removal is a crucial step in the process. Often, tree removal is not something you can easily do on your own and requires the expert assistance of a well-equipped tree service crew.
Stump grinding is one of the techniques our arborists recommend after scheduling our tree service to remove stumps left behind after tree removal. At Rumaldo Landscape & Tree Service, a professional arborist uses a stump grinder to break the stump and roots of a tree into small pieces until only wood chips are left behind.
Rumaldo’s Approach to Stump Grinding & Tree Removal on the Outer Banks & Northeastern NC
Our approach to stump removal is less intrusive and more cost-effective than other measures, effectively removing the aboveground parts of a tree stump and its entire root system. The grinding process turns the tree stump into wood chips you can repurpose back into the ground to fill the hole where the root system used to be, reuse the chips as mulch and compost for your garden, or dispose of the organic matter as you would any other yard waste.
Our Outer Banks and Northeastern North Carolina tree company offers residential and commercial clients an extensive list of tree and stump removal services complete with maintenance programs performed by our experienced and trained landscape technicians to keep your property looking pristine.
Why Professional Stump Grinding is Worth it
Stump grinding is an extremely dangerous job that requires heavy-duty equipment that can pose major risks that could damage structural property or your lawn if not operated by licensed and insured experts. You should always trust a professional stump grinder so you can take advantage of numerous benefits including:
- Improved landscape appearance free from run-down and rotting tree stumps
- Increased space for new landscaping, hardscaping & structural designs
- Hazard-free yard with no hidden roots to trip over or holes needing to be filled in with topsoil
- Easier grass cutting with no more unexpected damage to mower blades
- Saving your health, energy, and yard from damage with no burning, digging, or physically hauling heavy wood or roots from the property
- Decreased chance of fungal and pest problems from decaying stumps
- Saying goodbye to stubborn, large root balls once and for all
The Average Cost of Stump Grinding Projects
The average cost of tree service projects often may not include costs for stump grinding or removal because the costs depend on a variety of factors including:
- Number of Stumps: The more stumps that require grinding dictates how expensive your job will be and how long it will take.
- Stump Age: Older stumps rot over time, are often softer, and are easier to grind than freshly cut stumps. However, if a stump is left dry or in the sun for prolonged periods it can turn hard.
- Stump Diameter: The larger the tree stump, the harder it is to remove. Every inch of a stump’s diameter increases the removal costs.
- Tree Species: Hardwood tree species are more difficult to grind compared to softwood species such as Elms, Pines, and Spruces.
- Root Systems: The older a tree is the deeper and wider its root system is. The larger the root system the more extensive the job. A shallow grind can leave the root system mostly intact and allow for faster and less expensive project completion.
- Landscape Cleanup: After stump grinding our landscaping crew will complete a general cleanup in our free estimate. We can help you repurpose the shavings from the stump grinder as mulch for flower beds or walkways.
