After tree removal, the stump left behind can become a real problem for Bartow homeowners. We frequently help property owners who are dealing with these unwanted remnants.
Stumps create several issues when left in place. They become tripping hazards, especially for children playing in the yard. Mowing around them takes extra time and attention. Some stumps even send up new sprouts, trying to regrow into trees.
Insects find stumps to be perfect homes. Termites, carpenter ants, and beetles move in and might eventually make their way toward your house. Fungi and diseases can also develop in decaying stumps, potentially spreading to healthy trees nearby.
Stump grinding offers a practical solution. Unlike complete stump removal, which digs out the entire root system, grinding focuses on eliminating the visible portion of the stump. We use specialized machines that reduce the stump to small wood chips.
Our grinders can reach 8-12 inches below ground level, removing the stump while leaving minimal disturbance to the surrounding landscape. The process typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the stump size.
Bartow residents appreciate that the resulting wood chips can be used as mulch in garden beds. We can leave some chips for your use or remove all debris, depending on your preference.
The hole left after grinding gets filled with a mixture of wood chips and soil. This area can be planted with grass seed right away, allowing your lawn to grow over the spot completely.
With our equipment and experience, we handle stumps of all sizes throughout Bartow. Pine stumps, oak stumps, and even the toughest hardwoods don’t stand a chance against our commercial-grade grinders.
