What Is Stump Removal?
Stump removal is the process of removing the leftover portion of a tree after it has been brought down. Often, this is accomplished using specialized equipment such as a stump grinder, which reduces the stump to small bits. The entire removal of a tree from a property requires the removal of the tree’s stump.
Leaving a tree stump on your property can be ugly and dangerous to anyone strolling or playing nearby. In addition to preventing the regrowth of the tree in an undesirable site, stump removal prevents the sprouting of new shoots from the stump. At Cutting Edge, we offer professional stump removal services to help you clear unsightly stumps from your property.
Stump Grinding
Our stump grinding service uses specialized equipment to reduce the stump to wood chips. We can grind stumps of any size and set the depth of the grind to your specifications, then remove the chips and leave the space clean and ready for your next project.
Chemical Stump Removal
Chemical stump removal adds a specific treatment to the stump to break it down over time. The process can take weeks or months, but it eliminates stumps effectively without grinding. We use only safe, eco-friendly products.
Manual Stump Removal
For smaller stumps or stumps in hard-to-reach spots, we provide manual stump removal. Our arborists remove the stump by hand, taking the complete root system with it.
Stump Removal & Landscaping
Ideal if you want to remove a stump and improve the look of your property at the same time. We remove the stump, then plant new trees or shrubs, build a new garden bed, or sod the space.
Our Stump Removal Process
Assess the Stump
We measure the stump’s diameter, check the root spread, and look for buried utilities, irrigation lines, and nearby structures before choosing the right removal method.
Clear the Surrounding Area
Rocks, debris, and loose soil around the base are removed so the grinder’s teeth stay sharp and nothing gets thrown during the work.
Grind the Stump
The grinder chips the stump down in passes until it sits well below ground level, typically 6 to 12 inches, or deeper if you plan to replant.
Clean Up
We rake out the wood chips and, if you’d like, backfill the hole with soil so the spot is level and ready for grass, mulch, or a new planting.
Haul Away the Debris
All chips, roots, and debris are loaded and hauled off. You’re left with a clean yard, not a pile to deal with.
