What’s the Difference Between Stump Removal & Stump Grinding?

Stump Removal involves completely digging out the tree stump and root ball from the ground. It’s ideal if you plan to plant something new in its place or need the entire area cleared.

Stump Grinding uses a powerful machine to grind the stump down below ground level. It’s fast, clean, and leaves the roots to decompose naturally over time.

Our Process Includes:

  • On-site inspection of the stump(s)
  • Choice of full removal or grinding
  • Safe, damage-free work around nearby plants or structures
  • Debris cleanup and optional wood chip haul-off

Why It Matters

  • Prevents pest infestations (termites, ants, beetles)
  • Eliminates tripping hazards
  • Enhances curb appeal
  • Makes room for new landscaping or construction

FAQs About Stump Removal & Grinding

Q: What’s the difference between stump removal and stump grinding? A: Removal digs out the entire stump and roots; grinding shreds the stump below the soil line but leaves roots to decompose naturally.

Q: How long does stump grinding take?
A: Most stumps can be ground in 30–60 minutes depending on size.

Q: Can I replant where the stump was?
A: Yes, especially after full removal. With grinding, root decay may take time.

Q: Do you remove all the roots too?
A: Full removal includes the root ball. Grinding does not, but it prevents regrowth.

Q: Will it damage my lawn or nearby plants?
A: No. We work carefully to protect your landscape and use compact, efficient machines.

“It was a pleasure to do business with this company. I was amazed at the work they did. The tree was huge, but Chace got it down. The cleanup was awesome. They also pruned a tree that was hanging over the house. The tree is a beautiful tree now and not touching the house.”
