Stump Grinding and Removal (Cleveland, OH)

Stump removal can take two forms: heavy equipment removal of the stump by unearthing it or grinding it down below the ground's surface. Due to the significant disruption to the surrounding ground, most of our customers do not opt to remove the stump altogether; instead, they choose to grind. 

Stumping grinding is dirty and messy, but at Cleveland Tree Service, we go the extra mile to clean as we go and commit to leaving your property as we found it. Stump grinding involves bringing one of our Morbark tracked stump grinders onto your property and positioning it where it will most effectively perform its job but also make minimal impact on your landscape. 

Some stumps are more challenging to remove than others. Therefore, we assess different techniques to remove your stump most efficiently. For example, conifer tree stumps, such as White Pine trees and Cedars, are easier to remove than deciduous trees, as their roots tend to be broad, flat, and shallow. 

On the other hand, deciduous tree roots, such as Oaks and Maples, run long and deep. Size and age are also factors in stump removal difficulty. The older a stump, the easier it is to remove. And, of course, smaller stumps are more accessible than larger ones.

Stump Grinding Process

The process of stump grinding is essentially a four-step process:

• Using a shovel and rake, clear rocks away from the area to be grinded
• If not already done, use a chainsaw to cut away as much of the stump as possible and get it as level to the ground as possible.
• Position the stump grinder over it, approximately 3-6", then lower it into the stump (approximately 3"), moving the grinder from side to side.
• Once the stump is ground to about 4", move the grinder forward, repeating the process until the entire stump is 3-6" below the ground.  

This grinding process can, and often does, damage the surrounding ground around the stump, and the chips from the grinding are spread around the area as well. We will rack up as many wood chips as possible and repair any damaged lawn around the removed stump. Further, if desired, we can re-seed with grass to cover up any evidence that a tree and stump were ever there.
