Stump Grinding & Removal
Complete stump removal services to reclaim your yard space and eliminate hazards in Pine Bluff, AR.
Why You Should Remove That Old Stump
That old tree stump in your yard might not seem like a big deal, but it can cause more problems than you think. Stumps take up valuable space, attract pests, and can be a real safety hazard, especially if you have kids or like to mow your lawn without dodging obstacles.
Here in Pine Bluff, we see stumps that have been sitting for years, slowly rotting and becoming homes for termites, carpenter ants, and other insects. Once these pests set up shop in your old stump, they might decide to check out your house next. Plus, old stumps can send up new shoots that turn into a cluster of small trees, making your yard look messy.
Removing the stump gives you back that space for planting, landscaping, or just enjoying a clear, open yard. It also eliminates tripping hazards and makes lawn care so much easier.
Problems Old Stumps Create
Leaving a stump in your yard can lead to a bunch of issues you probably did not expect:
- Attracts wood-boring insects like termites and carpenter ants
- Creates tripping hazards for kids, pets, and guests
- Makes mowing and yard work frustrating and dangerous
- Takes up space you could use for gardens, patios, or new landscaping
- Sends up new sprouts that require constant cutting
- Slowly rots and becomes an eyesore
- Can spread fungus and disease to nearby healthy trees
Getting rid of the stump solves all these problems at once. After we grind it down, you will have a level surface ready for whatever you want to do with that space. Check out our full range of tree services to see how we can help improve your entire property.
How Stump Grinding Works
We use professional-grade stump grinding equipment that makes quick work of even the biggest stumps. Here is what you can expect:
Step 1: Site Preparation
We clear the area around the stump and check for any underground utilities or obstacles. We also trim the stump as low to the ground as possible to make grinding more efficient.
Step 2: Grinding the Stump
Our powerful stump grinder chews through the wood, grinding the stump down 6 to 12 inches below ground level. This ensures the roots will not send up new shoots and gives you plenty of clearance for new grass or landscaping.
Step 3: Root Treatment
We grind down the major surface roots around the stump to create a level area. This prevents future problems and gives you a clean slate to work with.
Step 4: Cleanup and Fill
We remove the wood chips or use them as mulch if you want. Then we fill in the hole with topsoil so the area blends in with the rest of your yard.
Why Hire Professionals for Stump Removal
Some homeowners try to remove stumps themselves using chemicals, fire, or even digging. These methods are slow, dangerous, and often do not work. Stump grinding chemicals can take months to work and might harm nearby plants. Burning stumps is risky and often illegal in residential areas. Digging out stumps by hand is backbreaking work that can take days.
Professional stump grinding is fast, safe, and effective. We have the right equipment and experience to handle stumps of any size. Most jobs take just an hour or two, and you get immediate results. Plus, we handle all the cleanup so you do not have to deal with piles of wood chips and debris.
