Stump grinding is a process that eliminates the risks of an exposed stump by ensuring it is brought to the same level as the ground. This service excavates the stump using a stump grinder but does not remove the roots. Depending on the stump removal technique used, you may need more tools on top of a stump grinder. These could include a shovel, a chainsaw, a rake, and a mattock for effective tree stump removal. Stump grinding service providers will understand how to approach the process better, so it’s advisable to leave this kind of work to professionals.
