Tree Stump Removal (Stump Grinding)

Tree stump removal or grinding refers to the process of using specialized machinery to grind tree stumps below grade level. In residential and commercial settings, property owners often want these ground out for aesthetic reasons, to eliminate trip hazards or to use the space for other purposes. Stumps that are not removed will decay and can grow back, depending on species.

We arrange for buried utility locates

prior to planning the removal to help ensure there is no damage to buried utilities (this is a legal requirement and should always be done). Once locates are obtained, we schedule and carry out the stump grinding. Typically, we remove enough of the debris (stump grindings) to level the area in question. Stump grindings make excellent mulch and can be left behind on site at the owner’s request.

Whether you just had us remove a tree for you or you have an old stump on your property that you want gone, Higher Place Tree Care can take care of your tree stump removal.
