The Value of Professional Stump Grinding Services
You’ve done the hard part—you removed an unhealthy or unwanted tree from your yard. Congratulations! However, you are often left with one final, stubborn obstacle: the tree stump.
At Arbor Doctor Tree Service, we know that tree removal is only half the job. To truly complete your landscape and eliminate safety hazards, professional stump grinding services are essential.
What is Professional Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding is the most efficient and practical method for removing a tree stump. Stump grinding uses a specialized machine with a rotating cutting wheel to mechanically chip the stump wood down into small pieces.
We typically grind the stump down below the grade level. This ensures the stump is gone, the surrounding area is safe, and you are left with valuable wood chips that can be used as mulch or mixed with the soil.
Why You Can’t Afford to Skip Stump Grinding
Leaving a tree stump in your yard is more than just an eyesore. It poses several practical problems that make investing in professional stump grinding services worthwhile:
1. Safety Hazards
A stump is a tripping hazard for family, guests, and pets, especially when covered by grass or snow. Grinding the stump eliminates this dangerous obstacle entirely.
2. Pest Infestations
Dying wood is a magnet for pests, including carpenter ants and, most concerningly, termites. Once established in a stump, these pests can easily spread to nearby structures, including your deck or home. Our stump grinding services prevent this nesting ground from ever forming.
3. Obstacles to Landscaping
If you want to lay new sod, plant a garden, or install a fence where the tree once stood, the stump and large surface roots will make the task nearly impossible. Grinding clears the way for future projects.
4. Sprouting and Regrowth
Many species, particularly those common in Denver like maples and cottonwoods, will continue to send up new shoots (suckers) from the remaining stump. Grinding the root crown prevents this persistent and annoying regrowth.
