Why Remove?

One of the key benefits of stump grinding is safety. Stumps left in yards can pose tripping hazards, especially in areas frequented by children or pets. Additionally, they can attract unwanted pests like termites, ants, or beetles that may compromise other plants or structures. By removing the stump, homeowners reduce these risks significantly.

Consultation

At one man one stump, we specialize in the removal of tree stumps left behind after tree removal, decay, or storms. The process begins with a comprehensive consultation, in which I’ll evaluate the stump and its surrounding environment. This assessment considers factors like the stump's size, location, proximity to structures or utilities, and the composition of the soil. A customized plan is then developed to address these factors effectively.

The Grinding

The heart of stump grinding involves using heavy-duty equipment known as a stump grinder. This machine features a rotating blade that shreds the stump into small wood chips. The grinding action generally penetrates 6 to 12 inches below the surface, effectively removing the stump while minimizing disturbance to the surrounding area. This is advantageous for maintaining the health of existing plants and root systems, preventing soil upheaval, and avoiding damage to structures nearby, such as patios, fences, or driveways.

Additional Sercives

After the grinding process, there are some services we can offer additionally. The ground material can be used as mulch to fill the hole created by the stump, improving the aesthetics of the landscape or enriching the soil as it decomposes. We can also provide the option to plant new trees or bushes in place of the old stump, thus rejuvenating the landscape.
