Stump Grinding & Removal

There are different ways to get rid of tree stumps in your property. Digging or burning them out are two of the most common known techniques. However, they can represent safety risks if they are not done correctly with the right tools. OC Tree Service Pros has experienced professionals who can grind and remove stumps in a cost-effective and time saving manner. Hiring a professional, instead of venturing with DIY Tutorials is definitely safer. Plus, you don’t have to worry about ending up with a hole or an unleveled ground at the end of the day.

Grind or remove? What’s the difference?
If you want to get rid of a stump, you can grind it or remove it. A grinding procedure is when we cut the stump up to ground level. The benefits are that there is no gap or hole at the end and the stump can become mulch later on. On the other hand, a stump removal is when the stump and roots are complete eliminated. This can usually cost more but it is a more long term solution. OC Tree Services Pros offers both services and is happy to provide further consultation if you are uncertain which is the best option for your property.

Step by step process
Removing or grinding a tree stump will vary in time and type of procedure. This has a lot to do with the size of the stump. Also, if a tree stump is near a building, we have to make sure there is no damage done. That’s why the first step we take in OC Tree Service Pros is to inspect the area. Once that is done, we decide on a plan of action. Before leaving the work area, we always make sure to cover and treat the ground by spreading the wood chips and racking the soil to make sure there are no bumps left on the ground.

Benefits
If you think that leaving stumps in your lawn can do no harm, think again. Our years of experience in tree care have shown us that stumps can be potentially harmful to children, can increase mold and decay, as well as encourage new tree sprouts. We have heard clients complain that their decaying tree stumps have attracted pests such as termites and beetles. Finally, tree stumps can steal nutrients from surrounding plants, causing the latter to wither quickly. Removing or grinding a stump will be beneficial to your property in the long run.
