Professional Stump Grinding Services

After a tree has been removed, the stump and root system often remain in the ground. Canopy Care provides expert stump grinding services to completely remove these remnants, freeing up your space and preventing potential issues.

Why Remove Tree Stumps?

Tree stumps can cause various problems if left in place:

Aesthetics: Stumps are unsightly and can detract from your property’s appearance
Space Limitation: They take up valuable space that could be used for landscaping or construction
Trip Hazards: Stumps and surface roots create dangerous obstacles
Lawn Maintenance Issues: They make mowing and yard work difficult
New Growth: Some species will continue to produce new shoots from the stump
Pest Attraction: Decaying stumps attract wood-boring insects that may spread to healthy trees or structures
Disease Reservoir: Stumps can harbor diseases that might spread to nearby trees

Our Stump Grinding Process

1. Initial Assessment

Our specialists begin with a thorough evaluation to:

Measure the stump’s size and depth
Identify the root system extent
Check for underground utilities
Determine the best grinding approach
Address any site-specific challenges

2. Site Preparation

Before grinding, we carefully prepare the area:

Clear debris and rocks around the stump
Trim the stump close to ground level if needed
Protect surrounding landscape features
Ensure safe access for our equipment

3. Professional Grinding

Using specialized stump grinding equipment, we:

Systematically remove the stump to well below ground level (typically 6-12 inches)
Grind major surface roots
Create wood chips that will decompose naturally
Ensure complete removal based on your requirements

4. Complete Finishing

After grinding is complete, we:

Fill the resulting hole with a mixture of wood chips and soil
Level the area for a smooth finish
Clean up all debris from the grinding process
Leave your property neat and ready for new uses
