Stump Removal vs. Stump Grinding
Both stump removal and stump grinding have their advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the ideal option for you is primarily determined by your landscape's future intentions.
Stump removal is the more time-consuming and labor-intensive option. After heaving up the bulky tree stump, stump Removal entails digging out a tree's root system. Tree removal often requires a lot of time, elbow grease, and strong tools, as you might imagine. The benefit? After stump removal, you'll have a blank canvas to work with for your future landscaping vision. However, before you can execute this vision, you will need to fill in the large hole that was once occupied by the stump.
Stump grinding requires far less effort. Tree service professionals utilize a machine to shred the stump into tiny woodchips. A
stump grinding service is far more efficient than stump removal, although it does leave more of the tree's root system behind. The resulting chip pile formed by a large stump can be rather substantial as well. However, the chips can be repurposed as mulch for other plants in your landscaping.
