Stump Grinding

​Classic City Arborists is proud to now offer stump grinding services. This is accomplished by means of a disc attachment to our miniature Skid Steer that rotates at high speeds to grind the stump into small chips. All that will be left in the stump’s place, is a pile of small wood chips. This process can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour depending on the size of the stump.

Remaining stumps in a yard can be an eyesore for the meticulous landscaper. Even an amateur landscaper will have difficulty navigating the lawn mower around the hidden stumps. While that stump may not be considered a blemish in the yard, it can still be a safety hazard. Small children and pets could trip and harm themselves revealing a hidden liability.

Removing decaying stumps from the yard will also reduce the amount of insects in the area. These pests feed off the opening left from the tree removal, and then work their way into the healthy trees, plants, and ornamental décor surrounding the leftover stump. The best way to reduce the possibility of additional pest destruction, is to remove stumps.

​Leftover stumps can also sprout multiple new trees from the roots. When a pesky Sweet Gum tree is removed to eliminate all the Sweet Gum Balls on the ground, if the stump remains, it can quickly sprout multiple new Sweet Gum Trees that will swiftly grow to release their own little hazards all over the yard. Practice self-pruning in a yard by removing the stumps to limit which trees grow back.

Our stump grinding service is offered both on its own and also added to any tree removal service. Call today for a free estimate.
