Why Remove Tree Stumps?


When a tree is removed from your property, the stump that’s left behind can lead to a variety of issues. While you might be tempted to leave it as it is, stump removal offers significant benefits, including:


  • Improved Aesthetic Appeal: A tree stump can detract from the overall appearance of your yard. Removing it allows you to improve the visual appeal of your landscape, whether you’re planting new grass, installing a garden, or laying new hardscape.
  • Prevent Tripping Hazards: Stumps left in your yard can pose a danger to anyone walking or playing nearby. They can easily become tripping hazards, especially if the stump is hidden by grass or vegetation.
  • Stop Pests from Nesting: Tree stumps can become a breeding ground for insects like termites, ants, and beetles, which can then spread to other trees or even your home. Stump grinding and removal eliminates this risk, helping to protect your property from pest infestations.
  • Free Up Usable Space: A tree stump can take up space that could be better used for new landscaping projects, patios, or outdoor entertainment areas. Removing the stump gives you the freedom to make the most of your outdoor area.
  • Prevent Unwanted Growth: Sometimes tree stumps can lead to new growth, with sprouts emerging from the base. This can create an ongoing maintenance problem, as these sprouts will need to be regularly trimmed back.

Stump Grinding vs. Stump Removal


At Edwards Tree Service, we offer both stump grinding and full stump removal, depending on your needs. Here’s the difference between the two:


  • Stump Grinding: This method involves grinding the stump down to below ground level using specialized machinery. Stump grinding is a fast, efficient solution that allows you to cover the area with soil and grass afterward. It is ideal for most homeowners looking to quickly eliminate the stump without extensive disruption to their landscape.
  • Stump Removal: In some cases, you may prefer full stump removal, which involves extracting the entire stump and root system from the ground. This is more invasive but can be necessary if you’re planning on construction or significant landscaping changes in the area.

Our Professional Stump Grinding Process

At Edwards Tree Service, we use state-of-the-art stump grinding equipment to handle stumps of all sizes. Our process is thorough and designed to minimize disruption to your yard:



  1. Assessment: We begin by assessing the size and location of the stump, taking into account any nearby structures, walkways, or utilities.
  2. Grinding: Our team uses specialized machinery to grind the stump down to below ground level, ensuring that it won’t regrow or cause problems in the future.
  3. Cleanup: Once the stump is ground down, we clean up the debris, leaving your yard looking neat and ready for whatever comes next.
