Stump grinding is the process of using a specialized machine called a stump grinder to shave down a tree stump until it is fully removed. This method grinds the stump into small wood chips, which can be discarded, used as mulch, or placed back into the hole left behind. Homeowners often prefer stump grinding because it’s more manageable and doesn’t require extracting the entire root system. Additionally, it’s a more affordable option compared to full stump removal.
In contrast, stump removal involves digging out the entire stump along with all its connected roots. This requires heavy-duty equipment such as a Bobcat to excavate the stump and roots thoroughly. Stump removal can significantly disrupt the surrounding soil and landscape, leaving a sizable hole and turning a portion of the yard upside down. For homeowners concerned with maintaining their yard’s appearance, stump removal is typically less appealing due to the extensive damage it can cause to the surrounding area.
