STUMP GRINDING VS STUMP REMOVAL

So you’ve decided to say, “bye, stump!” Now you need to choose how to remove it. While stump grinding and stump removal achieve the same goal on the surface, deciding which method is best boils down to what you intend to do with the space once the stump is gone.

Whichever method you choose, you can depend on Superior Stump Removal to do it right in Colorado.

To help you decide, we’ve broken down the differences between stump grinding and stump removal below. For a more detailed explanation, feel free to give us a call.

Stump Grinding

Stump grinding is when a machine is used to grind down a tree’s stump and surface roots after removal. While stump grinding is a quicker and cheaper way to remove the eyesore and obstacles than stump removal, it doesn’t remove the roots. The roots can become home to insects and pests that spread to nearby trees and plants.

We go deeper into the stump than most to prevent regrowth and can place the mulch where you want or remove it altogether to leave you with a clean slate. Our machines are designed to be lawn-safe, and we take care to ensure your property is unharmed during the grinding or removal process.

Determining whether stump grinding or stump removal is best depends on what you plan to do with the space. If you plan to build a patio, hardscape or plant grass, stump grinding should do the trick. If you want to replant or transform the area into a garden, stump removal is the way to go.

HOW STUMP GRINDING WORKS

Stump Removal

Stump removal is when machines grind down the stump and excavate the above-ground root zone. Once the root system is removed, there will be a large hole that needs filling and grading to restore your Colorado property.

We have the equipment and expertise to remove any stump, fill the hole, level, and grade our property to prepare it for whatever comes next.

While stump removal is more labor intensive than stump grinding, which increases the cost, it allows you the freedom to do whatever you want with the space without worrying about regrowth or roots getting in the way.
