Traverse City Stump Grinding Service

Stumps: Warts on the Face of Your Lawn

Stumps are eyesores that take up valuable space on your property.  There are few things uglier and more out of place than a dead tree stump sitting in the yard.  It makes sense that you would want to have them removed in the quickest and cleanest way possible.  

Some homeowners think about removing unsightly stumps themselves, but be careful!  Without the proper tools, training,  and safety equipment you can seriously injure yourself. 

Getting rid of a problematic stump can be done in two ways: Removal or Grinding.  With removal, a stump is basically pulled out of the ground and it's roots are cut out of the earth.  This can be an arduous process that takes significant manpower and time, but once it's out and the earth is filled in you'll have an area that you can use for any purpose you desire.

Stump grinding, on the other hand, takes less time and cost.  It's done through a process where the stump itself is ground down mechanically  but the deeper roots are left in the earth.  There are advantages to this, particularly if you don't want to use the area for something like a garden, replanting, or building a structure on it.  

We grind down stumps to varying depths below surface, depending on what your plans for the space are. We'll haul off the remnants and clean up the area  for you.   If needed, we will supply topsoil and even reseed over the stump so you won't even be able to tell it was there.

If you do need a stump removed we are the ones to call.  We'll give you a free estimate first over the phone.  Depending on the job, we may  need to come out and do a thorough assessment and evaluation of the stump and surrounding property.  Either way, you'll know exactly how much it will cost before we begin work.   We plan ahead to make sure that there aren't any underground cables, pipes, or lines that would be damaged prior to bringing in our specialty equipment. 

We usually recommend that if you have us take down a tree you have us take the stump out as well, unless you plan to be looking at that stump for years to come.  Don't worry, we will include that in our free estimate plan so you know exactly what to expect.

There are good reasons to have the stump removed at the time of felling. 

• Removing stumps at the same time can save you time because you won't have to have a crew come out at a later date to grind it down and remove it. 
• It will also save you money since the crew is already there.
• They can become increasingly problematic and even hazardous the longer they remain, because stumps can become havens for termites, carpenter ants, and other pests that can spread to other trees or even into your home if left untreated. 
• Stumps and roots become trip hazards.
• They can cause damage to mower blades--not usually the main stump, but the offshoot roots stemming out from it. 
• Grass and weeds tend to crop up around stumps which means you'll have to take the extra time to weed whack around them.  All good reasons to have them removed!

 As a final note, if you don't want it removed at that time, you can always have us come back later.  We're here to serve you, and we never pressure the customer.
