What Is Stump Grinding? 

Stump grinding is one of the recommended methods for removing stumps left behind after tree removal. At Monster Tree Service of Northeast Wisconsin, a qualified arborist employs a grinder to convert the stump and its roots into small wood chips, leaving minimal debris behind. 

The Stump Grinding Procedure 

Stump grinding is less invasive compared to other stump removal methods. During the grinding process, our team will reduce a tree stump to wood chips that remain on the ground. These chips can either be reused as mulch for your garden or disposed of as part of yard waste. This technique offers a fast and straightforward means to eliminate the aboveground stump while significantly damaging most or all of the root system. If you opt for stump grinding in your yard, consult a landscaping expert before embarking on rebuilding or replanting in the same location. 

Why Choose Professional Stump Grinding? 

There are numerous advantages to opting for professional stump grinding, including: 

  • Enhancing the aesthetics of your yard. Leftover tree stumps can disrupt an otherwise immaculate landscape, detracting from its overall appeal.
  • Clearing space for new landscaping or structures. A yard free of old tree stumps opens up exciting possibilities for landscape design.
  • Increasing safety in your yard. Overlooked tree stumps pose a risk in your lawn, complicating outdoor activities, and hidden roots can damage mower blades. 

Stump grinding is a job best left to the professionals due to the heavy-duty equipment involved. 

What’s the Cost of Stump Grinding? 

Generally, stump grinding is more affordable than complete stump removal. Nonetheless, the cost of stump grinding depends on several factors, including: 

  • Diameter of the stump. The larger the tree stump, the more challenging it is to grind, resulting in higher costs per inch of diameter. 
  • Age of the stump. Older stumps often become softer with time, making grinding easier. However, if they dry out too much, they become extremely tough.
  • Species of the tree. Certain tree types, such as pine, spruce, silver maple, elm, and acacia, present more complex grinding challenges. 
  • Root system. An extensive root system from older trees increases the time and effort required for grinding. Conversely, a less complex root system allows for a quicker and more economical job. You also have the option of a shallow grind, which leaves most of the roots intact.
  • Cleanup requirements. Our quotes for stump grinding always include general landscape cleanup. By choosing to recycle stump grindings, you can save money while gaining a useful resource for your landscaping needs.
  • Number of stumps to grind. Naturally, the more stumps you require grinding for, the higher the overall cost. At Monster Tree Service of Northeast Wisconsin, we strive to make our services as budget-friendly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stump Grinding

What remains of the roots after stump grinding? 

Shallow stump grinding leaves a majority of roots in the ground. After grinding, the area is primed for grass seeding, with roots decaying gradually over time (which can take up to ten years). If you plan to plant a tree in the same location, we suggest opting for our standard deeper grind that removes a greater portion of the root system. 

Can you plant over a ground stump? 

Although it is feasible to replant over a ground stump, especially if the roots are deteriorating, we do not recommend it. A new tree thrives better when given ample space to develop its root system in fresh soil. 

Will the tree grow back after stump grinding?

Stump grinding is a popular method for removing tree stumps by mechanically pulverizing them below ground level. While stump grinding effectively eliminates the visible portion of the tree, whether the tree can regrow depends on several factors, including the tree species, the extent of the grinding, and any additional preventive measures taken. Here's a detailed overview:

Effectiveness of Stump Grinding in Preventing Regrowth

Primary Objective: Stump grinding primarily removes the stump below ground, disrupting the root system's ability to support the tree's above-ground growth.

Prevention of Sprouting: For most tree species, stump grinding effectively prevents the tree from regrowing. By removing the majority of the stump and some of the roots, the tree's capacity to generate new shoots is significantly diminished.

Factors Influencing Regrowth

a. Tree Species

  • Sprouting Tendencies: Some tree species are more prone to sprouting from their stumps or roots even after grinding. Examples include:
    • Maples (Acer spp.)
    • Willows (Salix spp.)
    • Aspens (Populus spp.)
  • Less Likely to Sprout: Other species, such as oaks (Quercus spp.) and pines (Pinus spp.), generally do not sprout from stumps after being ground.

b. Extent of Grinding

Depth of Grind: Stump grinders typically remove the stump to a depth of 6 to 12 inches below ground level. If the grinder doesn't reach the extensive root systems of certain trees, the potential for regrowth increases.

Root System Size: Trees with extensive or deep root systems may have more stored energy, making regrowth more likely if some roots remain intact.

c. Timing of Grinding

  • Seasonal Considerations: Grinding during the tree's dormant season (late fall or winter) can reduce the likelihood of sprouting, as the tree's energy reserves are lower.

Our History

In 2008, Monster Tree Service began as a small tree service company providing arboricultural care to Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. Our founder was committed to promoting the growth of healthy trees and giving homeowners unparalleled service while taking care of their yards and homes. As a result, when other tree service businesses struggled to find jobs, our company kept working through every season, growing and expanding like the trees we care for.

Customers love working with us because we’re honest. When we tell customers they do or don’t need a particular service, they know we mean it. Because we care about trees, we’ll always fight for ways to rehabilitate your tree rather than remove it. When we do recommend removal, it’s because we know it’s the only thing that’s safe for your home and family.
