Sacramento Tree Pruning and Environmental Removal Service is the go-to for all your stump grinding needs. Our experts are experienced in the removal of tree stumps that have just been cut, using an industrial “stump grinder”. This machine is designed to dig and shave wood, turning it into wood chips. When you work with our friendly and polite staff, you can rest assured that the entire process of removing the stump will be a breeze.
Stump shredding is the common term used by tree care professionals when referring to the removal of a stump, also known as stump removal. Our full-service tree removal company is fully equipped with the necessary tools to get the job done. Renting a stump grinder from a hardware store may seem like a good idea, but these machines are usually smaller and less powerful than those used by professionals. This is because the removal of the stump involves not only removing the stump but also all the roots attached to it.
The operator guides the blade over the entire stump as the blade reduces the wood to chips and lowers the stump well below ground level. Having your stump ground will leave your yard with a hole, but one that is much less massive than if you had taken the stump removal route. We have stump grinders of various sizes that allow us to perform this service in most places and in any size of stumps. The estimate does not include removal of stump grindstones, which must be filled in the pit, nor does it include root crushing, unless specifically stated.
Burke says he has seen people use chemicals to remove stumps and others who tried to burn the stumps, but he says he personally has never seen that the best results come from these methods. Professional arborists and tree removal companies also have insurance against accidental property damage from tree removal and stump grinding. It's not always necessary to remove a surplus stump, but ask yourself if you want to look at a tree stump for years to come or deal with its sucking growth. Stump grinding is an effective way to get rid of unsightly stumps without having to resort to more drastic measures.
