Stump Grinding & Removal

Why Remove Tree Stumps

After you have a tree removed, the stump left behind might seem harmless. But leaving a stump in your yard creates more problems than you might think. Old stumps attract pests, cause new growth, and create tripping hazards for your family and guests.

Professional stump grinding eliminates these issues completely. Our Palm Springs tree service team uses industrial grinding equipment to remove stumps below ground level, giving you back usable yard space and improving your property appearance.

Problems Stumps Cause

Here is why you should not leave stumps in your yard:

• Pest infestations: Dead stumps attract termites, carpenter ants, beetles, and other wood-boring insects that can spread to your home
• New growth: Stumps often sprout new shoots, creating multiple small trees that drain nutrients from surrounding plants
• Safety hazards: Stumps create tripping dangers, especially for children playing in the yard or when mowing
• Lawn damage: Stumps interfere with mowing, landscaping, and yard maintenance
• Property value: Visible stumps make your yard look neglected and can reduce your home value
• Disease spread: Diseased stumps can infect nearby healthy trees

If you recently had tree removal service, do not stop there. Complete the job with professional stump grinding to fully reclaim your outdoor space.

Our Stump Grinding Process

We use powerful stump grinding machines that make quick work of even the largest stumps. Here is how it works:

Site Preparation

We start by clearing the area around the stump and checking for any underground utilities, irrigation lines, or other obstacles. Safety always comes first.

Grinding

Our industrial grinder chips away the stump and major roots, grinding them into small wood chips. We go several inches below ground level to ensure complete removal. The process is efficient and much faster than digging out stumps by hand.

Cleanup and Filling

After grinding, we remove the wood chips or use them as mulch if you prefer. We fill the hole with topsoil and level it with the surrounding ground. Your yard is ready for new landscaping, grass seed, or whatever you have planned.

For larger projects involving multiple trees and stumps, check out our land clearing services for comprehensive site preparation.
