What Is Stump Grinding?

Stump grinding is the process of removing the visible portion of a tree stump by grinding it into wood chips. Unlike stump removal, which involves uprooting the entire stump and roots, grinding focuses on clearing the surface while allowing the underground roots to decompose naturally.
At Burch Excavations, we use professional-grade stump grinders capable of handling stumps of all sizes.

Why Remove Tree Stumps?

  • Enhanced Aesthetics: Stumps can detract from the overall appearance of your property. Grinding them away restores a polished look.
  • Improved Safety: Removing stumps eliminates tripping hazards and prevents damage to lawn equipment.
  • Pest Prevention: Decaying stumps attract termites, ants, and other pests. Grinding them minimizes this risk.
  • Efficient Land Use: Clearing stumps opens up space for landscaping, construction, or new plantings.
