Have Stumps in your Yard?

 Not only are remaining tree stumps a tripping hazard they can become a nuisance, an obstacle you have to maneuver around every time you mow your lawn. They take up precious yard space which could otherwise be used for lawn or attractive landscaping. 

 

Stumps are Ugly


While a tree is a perfect enhancement for your home, the sight of a stump can be unappealing.

If you're meticulous about your yard and landscaping, removing the stump is well worth it.


They Grow Back


Stumps continue to grow even after the top of the tree has been removed. Suckers will sprout and roots will continue to expand which can cause damage to surrounding areas including concrete and asphalt. Also, the trees strip other surrounding plants of their nutrients, causing the plants to wither or die..

  • Grind the Stump

    We remove the stumps by grinding them with our Vermeer stump grinder. Grinding them minimizes the disturbance to the surrounding landscape. Stump grinding  is the preferred method of stump removal. Stump-grinding machines shave the stump continuously, again and again, until the stump is removed to the depth agreed upon. 

  • Filling the Hole

    When a stump is completely ground out, the end result will be a pile of mulch (wood chips & dirt mix) The size and species of stump will determine how much mulch will remain. Most homeowners choose to keep this valuable byproduct, which we use to backfill the hole left by the stump. We can haul away any unwanted mulch at an additional cost. In time, the mulch left behind will sink into the ground and firmly fill in the spot. We also rake and blow the work site for a clean and finished look.
