When a tree is removed from the property of a home or business, whether it was due to a severe weather event or a property owner wants to remove a tree that could be in danger of falling, a standard tree removal service will often leave the stump of the tree intact. In some cases, a homeowner or business owner will opt for an additional service known as Stump Grinding.
This service is where a machine, looking similar to a large chainsaw, is positioned over a tree stump. The operator of machine will then start up the chain driven blade and move it back and forth over the top surface of the stump, shredding the wood and grinding the stump below grade. After this is done, the hole created by the grinder is filled back in and any evidence that a tree was there will be gone over time.
