The job isn’t quite over once a tree has been cut down. If a live stump and roots are left in the ground, the tree can grow back. Stumps are also a nuisance for homeowners. They are a pain to constantly mow around, they provide a place for termites and ants to infest, and they prevent the growth of new vegetation or the construction of new yard structures.
If you want a tree completely removed from your property, be sure to get the stump ground out. It is the only way to ensure the tree and the hassle of the tree is gone for good. Many homeowners put off paying for the stump grinding at the time they have a tree removed only to regret it and pay for it to be done years later. When you need a stump ground out, Sam's Services is a great solution.
Before we come out to grind a stump, make sure the stump or stumps are cut as close to ground level as possible. Either a tree removal company or the homeowner can accomplish this with a chainsaw - as long as the bar of the chainsaw is long enough to cut past the midpoint of the stump. Once the stump is at an adequate height, we can begin the process of grinding the stump and root system.
Sam's Services operators use Carlton SP7015 remote operated stump grinders. These powerful machines maneuver extremely well and give the operators a clear view of their surroundings. With these machines and our talented equipment operators, we are able to access nearly every stump and root systems imaginable.
Once we reach the site of the stump, we will grind it and any visible roots until they are six inches below the surface. Grinding down to this depth ensures regrowth will not occur, that there will be no tripping hazards, and that there will be adequate room for fill soil and new plant growth.
If you have a stump that needs to be removed from your yard or property, please don’t hesitate to contact us to schedule a consultation and estimate.
A word to the wise, stump grinding can be dangerous. Anytime you are grinding through hard wood and into the ground, you can guarantee there will be loose debris, like rocks and wood chunks flying through the air. The risk can be mitigated, but it is inevitable. Our team has a great deal of experience doing this work. We wear the proper protective equipment and follow strict safety protocols to ensure we are minimizing the risk to ourselves and the personal property of our customers. Your property will be as safe as possible in our care.
