Stump Removal Harrisonburg

Methods of stump removal

Here's a few of the more popular methods for stump removal.

Chipping the stump into small pieces. This is a tedious process and often requires many hours of work with heavy equipment to grind down the stump into mulch that can be spread around your property

Cutting up the roots from underneath, pulling them out by hand or using an excavator to break it up, removing as much dirt as possible so you don't have residual root systems under ground that may reemerge in future years

Burning: this is not done very often because it creates smoke fumes and ashes which makes for a big cleanup job afterward. It can also be dangerous as the burning could travel underground along the roots, spreading uncontrollably.

Digging out with an excavator: this is a slow and messy procedure with a very large hole needing backfilled. 

Stump removal is a messy job and requires heavy equipment that can easily damage your property. It’s also hard to get all of the stump out because much of it will be underground, meaning you'll have a stump waiting for you in the future if not removed properly. Professional tree service companies like Top Tree Service Harrisonburg use specialized machinery that grinds stumps into small pieces without damaging anything on top or underneath ground level. This leaves no trace behind so there's nothing left to remind visitors that any work was done at all!

How stump grinding works

Stump removal is done by grinding the stump's base with a grinder and then cutting off what remains. The stump will either be cut flush to the ground or we can grind it well below the surface. Depending on the size and, more importantly the placement of the stump, there may have to remain a small mound of dirt remaining around where it was once located. We will ensure you are completely satisfied with the final product before we call it a job well done.

Grinding is done by using rotating disks that are covered in teeth-like blades called "cutters." These cutters spin at high speeds while they grind into the stump's surface area. This process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour depending on the size of your tree and how well established its root system is.

Grinding takes less time than digging up a stump with an excavator, saving you money.
