How does stump grinding work?
Alright, so first thing you’ll see is the crew taking a good look around that old stump. Getting rid of all the random debris that might be around just to prevent any possible accidents because there was a random kids toy in the way.
Next up, these guys are serious about safety! They’ll put on their goggles, tough gloves for their hands, all that. You gotta be safe when you’re dealing with power tools, right?
Okay, now for the cool part! They bring out this special machine – it’s called a stump grinder. Imagine a big wheel spinning super fast with really sharp teeth on it. They’ll carefully move this machine right up next to the stump. Then, this wheel starts grinding away at the wood, turning it into tiny little pieces.
And they don’t just stop at the part of the stump you can see sticking out of the ground. Nope! They’ll actually grind down quite a bit below the surface, usually like six to ten inches.
Once they’re done grinding, you’ll see a pile of wood chips where the stump used to be. Yes, that stump is obliderated. Now if you’d like you can use that wood debris as wood chips in a garden to help plants grow! Or you can simply let us know to take it away, and we’ll be glad to dispose of it for you!
Why hire professional stump grinding?
You may see an ugly stump in your backyard and think it’s no big deal right? You don’t care for a tree but you leave it there because it’s honestly hardly noticable…
Well now it’s actually quite noticable because the results show! Kids can easily trip over them and have a big accident in the yard, it makes it very hard to organize the lawn, and they attract termites and hardwod stump borer Beetles, carpenter ants, just to name a few! professional stump grinding services are essential when it comes to protecting your land, family and of course home.
Not just that but this is actually pretty dangerous, an unskilled hand without proper supervision might cause a serious accident with these heavy power tools! Even if you can bench 350, it’s still something that takes coordination and technique. Not just that…
It’s also expensive to do if you’re going to do it yourself anyways- renting the equipment out alone would cost between $100 and $300 per day, and if you break something on that equipment you’d have to buy it! Thousands of dollars! I’d say rather than all the possibilities of messing up, it’s really worth it to just get a professional.
