Stump Grinding and Removal - Leave The Messy Job to Us
Stump Grinding or Removal - Which is Best?If you have dead remnants of trees scattered across your property and you are simply tired of looking at them, allow our team of tree professionals to eliminate them for you. A leftover tree stump can become shelter for unwanted insects, as well as a trip hazard for your guests and a liability for you. Getting rid of those tree stumps, however, can be a messy, time consuming, and even dangerous job. That is where we come in - give us a call today and let us eliminate those unsightly stumps so that you can enjoy your yard again. At Thatcher’s Tree Service Gainesville FL, our experienced arborists are trained to handle any stump, no matter the size, safely and efficiently.
A tree stump can be eliminated in two ways: stump grinding and stump removal. The stump grinding process involves placing a grinder over the stump and allowing it to grind the wood until it is below the ground surface. This is the most commonly chosen method by home and local business owners, as it is the more economical choice and has less of an impact on the surrounding landscape. On the other hand, stump removal involves using heavy equipment to physically pull the entire stump from the ground, roots and all. While it gets the job done, the process can be harmful to your landscape and leaves a large hole, which must then be filled in. |

Regardless of the method of elimination, it is impossible to avoid the messiness of the job - a large amount of dust and debris will be left behind. That is why we always recommend leaving the job to a tree professional and never attempting to remove or grind a stump on your own. As the choice for tree services Gainesville FL counts on, we pride ourselves on our diligent clean-up process after every service - we always leave our customer’s home in better condition than we found it.
Stump Grinding Gainesville FL
On the day of you scheduled service, our team will arrive, set up equipment, and begin the process of eliminating your stump. The grinding service begins with a cleaning of the work area to remove any present debris. A chainsaw is then used to cut the stump as low to the ground as possible, in order to reduce the amount of material that needs to be grinded. One of our top-of-the-line Morbark grinders will then be placed on top of the stump and its blades will start grinding back and forth across the entirety of the stump. This will continue until the stump is below the surface of the earth by a minimum of three inches. Our crew will then go to work cleaning up the mess left over from the grinding process and can optionally fill in and cover the hole with grass seeds or sod.
The length of time for the grinding process depends on several factors, including the size of the stump, the age of the stump, and the species of the tree from which it came but, on average, a stump grinding service takes between 60 and 90 minutes. Our stump grinding service requires the use of heavy machinery and unfortunately, unlike with tree trimming and tree removal, there is no alternative method. However, our Morbark grinders are the best on the market and were designed to do little to no damage to the surrounding landscape. A few days after your service, the site of the stump, as well as the surrounding area will look good as new. If you have more than one stump that needs to go, be sure to take advantage of our multiple stump discount today.
