Get Rid of Unwanted Tree Stumps
After you cut down a tree on your property, you’ll be left with a stump that is an inconvenient eyesore. Whether it’s in the middle of your yard or right where you want to put a flower bed, the stump likely interferes with your plans for your landscaping. If it remains, you’ll have to deal with mowing around it and planning your landscaping around it, and it will certainly be a tripping hazard.

What is the Best Way to Remove a Stump?
When you think of tree stump removal, you may imagine an incredibly arduous process, including digging around the stump, hauling it out, and extracting all the tree roots. This method of manual removal may have been commonplace in the past, but today's tree service professionals utilize faster, less invasive methods. At Elk River Tree Service, LLC, we use a stump grinder to remove unwanted tree stumps. We believe stump grinding is the best way to remove a tree stump, and hiring a professional is the way to go.

Why Hire a Professional Stump Grinding Service
While it is possible to rent a stump grinder, most home and business owners do not have the technical training and expertise – or the appropriate safety gear – to properly operate the machine. Depending on the size of the stump, it could take you far longer to attempt removal on your own than it would for a professional to do the job. If you're renting the stump grinder by the hour, that means the cost of the job is likely to exceed what you would have paid a stump removal company.

The Process
The stump grinder features a large, circular blade that is pressed against the stump and hydraulically grinds it down, creating a waste material that is similar to sawdust. Typically, we will grind your stump to below ground level, but the depth can vary based on your needs. If you simply want to plant grass in the place where the stump was, then it will be ground to a shallower depth of at least six inches. However, if you wish to plant another tree in the spot, we can grind your stump and its roots lower to allow for new tree growth. The depth will depend on the species of tree you wish to plant.
The Results
Stump grinding leaves behind a hole that can be easily filled and planted over. Our team can even fill the hole with the wood chips and sawdust left behind from the grinding process. Some home or business owners worry that the tree will grow back even after stump grinding, but this is rare. Because stump grinding typically cuts into the root system, the process causes the roots to eventually decompose. There is a small chance that a new sprout may grow, but they are easy to eliminate with garden shears.
The Benefits
Removing tree stumps from your property does not have to be destructive. Instead of pulling the stump and its roots out of the ground and damaging your lawn or landscaping in the process, we can grind the stump away with minimal damage to your property. This is the greatest benefit of stump grinding – minimal invasion with maximum efficiency. The process is quick and leaves you with your desired results so you can maximize your lawn space in whatever way you wish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does a stump grinding machine work?
A: The stump grinder uses a powerful rotating wheel to cut away the wood of the stump. The machine operator passes the blade back and forth across the stump, methodically shaving it down until the remainder of the stump is below ground level. This process produces wood chips and sawdust, which can be used to create mulch. After your stump has been ground down, you can lay sod over it, walk over it, mow over it - it’ll be as if it was never there.
Q: How long does it take to grind a stump?
A: The time it will take us to grind your stump depends on the size, location, and height of the stump. Tree stumps that were cut low will take less time to grind than higher stumps. Due to these variations, grinding a stump can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours.
