Difference Between Stump Grinding and Stump Removal

1. DifferenceBetweenStumpGrindingand StumpRemoval Our certified arborists are happy to help with everything from deadwooding to full tree removal. Like we said, most folks who have a yard they care about aren’t going to want to pursue stump removal. That’s because stump removal entails not only extracting the stump but also all of the roots attached to it. As a result, you’re going to need a Bobcat or some other heavy-duty piece of equipment. Plus, the roots of your tree may have spread out across half the yard. Stump grinding, on the other hand, is a much more manageable route for homeowners to take, because it doesn’t involve removing every tree root. Using a stump grinder like the one pictured below, we’ll grind the stump and essentially shave the remaining tree trunk until it’s gone. By definition, a stump is what’s left of the tree trunk, and that remaining tree trunk extends into the ground. So, having your stump ground down will leave your yard with a hole, but one that is far less massive than if you went the stump removal route.
