Whether you’re enhancing your yard’s appearance or preparing it for new landscaping, stump grinding is an innovative and effective option. At Juan Concha Arborist Service, we provide expert stump grinding for homeowners and businesses in New Rochelle, NY, backed by years of experience and proper certification.
Why It’s Better to Remove the Stump
A leftover tree stump may not seem like a big deal, but it can lead to problems over time. Stumps can attract pests like termites, ants, and beetles. These insects may spread to healthy trees or even your home. Rotting stumps can also lead to fungal growth and diseases in your yard.
Besides being unsafe, stumps take up space and make lawn care harder. They can also be an eyesore. Removing them with professional stump grinding provides a safer, cleaner yard that’s easier to maintain.
Key Benefits:
- Removes tripping hazards
- Helps stop pest and disease problems
- Makes your yard look cleaner and more open
- Prepares the area for new landscaping
- Improves the health of nearby plants
How Stump Grinding Works
Stump grinding involves using a machine to grind the stump down below the surface of the soil. This method is significantly less disruptive than digging out the entire stump. Grinding leaves the roots underground, where they break down naturally over time.
Our team utilizes powerful machines and adheres to strict safety protocols to grind stumps cleanly and efficiently. The leftover wood chips can be removed or used as mulch. The area can then be covered with soil or grass, blending in with the rest of your yard.
Is Grinding the Same as Removal?
Grinding and removal are not the same. Stump grinding takes care of the visible part of the stump and is faster, cleaner, and less costly. Full stump removal, on the other hand, involves pulling out the stump and all primary roots, which can damage nearby areas and incur additional costs. Unless you plan to build or plant in the exact spot, stump grinding is usually the better choice.
