A tree stump can be very unsightly in your yard. The good thing is that it can be eliminated in two ways. The first option is by physically removing it and unearthing its root system using a backhoe. However, this method can cause significant damage to the surrounding area. The second option is grinding the stump with a stump grinder. The stump will be ground until it is no longer visible, ideally 3-6 inches below the earth. This method is what homeowners typically choose because of the minimal impact it causes their yard. Total stump removal, on the other hand, is often done when there is foundational work such as a house foundation or road work in the area.
Stump grinding is relatively easy if you use proper equipment, but it can be a dirty job and may cause damage to the site. At Brees Tree Service, we make this process convenient and clean for our clients. With the use of our Morbark or Veneer stump grinders, no stump is too hard for us to ground.
The difficulty of removing a stump is based on different factors such as its size, age, and species. The most challenging stump to the ground is a hardwood stump due to the density of the wood fibers, while conifers are the easiest to ground. Also, older and decaying stumps are easier to work on as well as smaller stumps. Whatever the factor is, we will be able to ground it efficiently and effectively.
