Stump Grinding & Removal Services

Mentor Tree Service disposes of stumps with a couple of approaches: grinding and physical removal making use of backhoe equipment. In grinding, we utilize a stump grinder to virtually grind the stump below the surface of the dirt - removing its appearance totally. In stump removal, we make use of a medium sized backhoe to dig the stump and the substantial root system. Normally, just commercial developments in which the stump hampers with some part of building or development project, do clients choose to have stumps physically cleared away. Removing a stump this specific method is pricey and results in harm to the surrounding area.

Stump grinding is the conventional course ninety-five percent of our clients go when they desire to remove a tree stump. In these instances, we make use of one of our Vermeer stump grinders to grind the stump down to approximately 6 to 9 inches beneath the dirt - down significantly enough to remove its appearance altogether with enabling grass or other plantings to be grown above it.
​

Each and every stump can differ in regards to its challenge to grind. This is actually due to the fact that different tree varieties, as well as the age of the stump itself, determines how challenging the stump will be to ground. A new hardwood stump, like Maples and Walnuts, are normally the most challenging to grind. More mature conifers, for instance, Pines and Spruces, are the simplest stumps to grind. The age of the stump may likewise determine difficulty as more recent stumps are much more resistant to grinding than older stumps. And, certainly, the outright size of the stump will certainly also be a variable in grinding. However, regardless of the variety and age of the tree stump, Mentor Tree Service can get rid of any kind of stump with our high-grade Vermeer stump grinding equipment.
