Stump Grinding Clarence NY

Have you got a pesky tree stump left behind that you want to get rid of? It will be tempting to try and get rid of it with a DIY technique but tree stumps can be a tricky thing to remove.

Stump grinding is a tree service that we offer the Tree Service Clarence NY.  Stump grinding is the process of removing tree stumps after the tree itself has been cut down. Tree stumps that are left over can be a tripping hazard, an obstacle, or just look ugly in their environment. 

Stump grinding is an alternative to pulling out the roots of the stump. The stump is ground by a powerful machine known as a stump grinder. The stump grinder has a cutting wheel normally made of steel, that will be able to cut away and grind down the tree stump.

The Stump Grinding Process

Evaluation of an Area

Before the grinding can actually begin, a trained arborist will assess the area to make sure it is safe and to remove the tree stump in a way that does not cause more damage. An assessment is needed so that the arborist can determine the best way to grind the stump as you might have stumps of different sizes. The surrounding area of the tree stump is surveyed and prepared. 

Grinding The Stump

The grinding process can seem pretty simple. The grinding begins at the top of the tree stump and is done by a stump grinder. A stump grinder is a powerful machine. It normally comprises an engine, a cutting wheel drive system, and a cutting wheel. The cutting wheel is the part of the machine that comes into contact with the stump to cut the stump into smaller wooden chips. 

Stump grinders can come in different sizes ranging from small handheld ones to larger machines. It is best to get the help of someone who knows how to work the machines in order to use the machine safely and remove the stump efficiently. 

Grinding the stump will allow you to level the landscape and improve the appearance of its surroundings.

Filling the Hole

After the stump is removed there will be a hole left behind where the stump was. This hole needs to be filled in order to make the landscape look nice and avoid any obstruction or injury from the hole itself. The hole can be filled with different things like soil or other materials. 

Benefits of a Professional Stump Removal

A tree stump in the backyard, like many other nuisances, can be tempting to DIY. Although it can be done there are benefits to letting an expert help you. Firstly, having an expert means that you will have someone who can do it safely. A trained arborist will know what to look out for, how to survey the landscape for hazards, and also use a stump grinder safely. There are some things a professional can see and attend to that we might not be able to do ourselves. Professionals not only guarantee safety but will be able to make sure no further damage is done to the landscape or property.

A professional will also have the right tools and equipment needed for the job. It is not as simple as getting any old stump grinder to get rid of a stump. You might need varying machines based on a stump’s size and location. You will also need the knowledge and processes to operate these different machines. It will also save you from the hassle of finding a stump grinder rental.

Leave it to a trained arborist to worry about these things. 

A professional can also be more efficient. Instead of exerting unnecessary effort, you can leave the stump removal to someone who can have it gone with just the use of a stump grinder. You will also have someone who can do the cleanup for you which will save you from having to clean up wood chips yourself. That can be very tedious.
