Stump Grinding & Removal

Why Remove Tree Stumps

Many homeowners underestimate the problems that tree stumps can cause. Left in place, stumps slowly decay, attracting termites, carpenter ants, beetles, and other wood-boring insects that can eventually spread to your home or healthy trees. Stumps also send up new shoots, creating maintenance headaches and competing with nearby plants for nutrients and water. In Florida's humid climate, decay happens quickly, making stumps a breeding ground for fungi and disease.

• •Eliminate safety hazards that can cause trips, falls, and lawn mower damage
• •Prevent pest infestations including termites, ants, and wood-boring beetles
• •Stop new tree growth from sprouting around the old stump
• •Improve curb appeal and increase property value
• •Free up space for new landscaping, construction, or lawn expansion

Our Stump Grinding Process

Stump grinding is the most effective and efficient method for stump removal. Our commercial-grade grinders use rotating cutting disks to chip away the stump and major roots, reducing everything to fine wood chips. We grind stumps 6 to 12 inches below ground level, which is deep enough to allow grass to grow over the area or for new landscaping to be installed. The process is much faster and less invasive than traditional stump removal methods that involve digging out the entire root system.

After grinding, we can remove the wood chips or leave them for you to use as mulch in your garden beds. Many customers who need stump removal also take advantage of our tree removal services to handle both the tree and stump in one coordinated project.

What Happens If You Don't Remove a Tree Stump

Ignoring a tree stump might seem like the easy choice, but it often leads to bigger problems down the road. As the stump decays, it creates a soft, unstable area in your yard that can collapse under weight. The decaying wood attracts fungi that can spread to healthy trees and plants. New shoots will continue to sprout, requiring constant cutting and herbicide application. And if you ever decide to sell your property, that unsightly stump will detract from your home's value and curb appeal.

Professional stump removal is an investment in your property's safety, health, and appearance. If you're planning landscape improvements, our land and lot clearing services can help prepare your entire property for new development.
