Stump grinding is exactly what the name suggests. It involves the use of a stump grinder that chews away at the wood of the tree stump. These machines consist of a rotating blade with teeth that chew into the stump and produce small wood chips. The grinder can be used to take the tree stump down to the ground level. If desired the grinding can be done down to below ground level.The result of stump grinding is small chips of wood. You can choose what you do with these wood chips. They can be used as mulch in your flower beds. They can be added to your compost pit to provide a great source of nourishment for your plants. You can also request the stump grinding service to haul the wood chips away too. The choice is yours.

Stump Grinding Vs Stump Removal

Many people wonder whether there is much of a difference between stump grinding and stump removal. Unlike stump grinding that uses a grinder to chew away at the tree stump, stump removal involves the use of a stump remover. This is a machine with an auger that grips the stump from above and pulls it out of the ground along with its roots. This leaves a hole in the ground. With Stump grinding you can choose to have the stump ground to ground level or below ground level. Part of the trunk and roots therefore may remain within the ground after the grinding.
