Our Stump Grinding Process
1. Site Assessment: We evaluate the stump size, location, and any underground utilities or obstacles that may affect the grinding process.
2. Equipment Selection: Based on stump size and access, we select the appropriate stump grinder for maximum efficiency and minimal lawn damage.
3. Professional Grinding: Our experienced operators grind the stump 6-12 inches below ground level, ensuring complete removal of the root system.
4. Debris Removal: All wood chips and debris are removed from your property, or can be left as mulch if desired.
5. Site Restoration: We backfill the area with topsoil and can seed or sod the area to match your existing lawn.
