Stump Grinding & Removal

What Happens If You Don't Remove a Tree Stump?

After you cut down a tree, the stump left behind might seem harmless. But leaving stumps in your yard creates more problems than you might think. Stumps take up valuable space, attract pests, and can become tripping hazards. They also make it difficult to mow your lawn or use your yard the way you want.

Old stumps can also sprout new growth, which drains nutrients from surrounding plants. Worse, decaying stumps attract termites, ants, and other insects that can eventually move to your home. At EZ-Works Celina Tree Services, we use professional stump grinding equipment to remove stumps completely, giving you back a clean, usable yard.

Benefits of Professional Stump Removal

Removing tree stumps does more than improve your yard's appearance. Here is what professional stump grinding offers:

• Eliminates tripping hazards and improves yard safety
• Prevents pest infestations from termites, ants, and beetles
• Stops new tree growth from sprouting around the old stump
• Frees up space for new landscaping, patios, or lawn areas
• Removes eyesores that lower your property's curb appeal
• Makes mowing and yard maintenance easier and safer

Our stump grinding process is fast, efficient, and thorough. We grind stumps below ground level, so you can plant grass, flowers, or even a new tree in the same spot. We also haul away the wood chips and debris, leaving your yard clean and ready to use.

How Stump Grinding Works

Stump grinding uses a powerful machine with a rotating cutting wheel to chip away the stump and major roots. The grinder reduces the entire stump to wood chips, which can be used as mulch or removed from your property. This process is much faster and less disruptive than digging out the stump by hand.

We can grind stumps of any size, from small shrubs to large trees. Our equipment fits through most gates and side yards, so we can reach stumps in tight spaces. After grinding, we level the area and clean up all debris, leaving you with a smooth, ready-to-use surface.

If you recently had a tree removed, we can handle the stump grinding as part of the same service. We often coordinate tree removal and stump grinding together to save you time and hassle. If you need help with other tree issues, we also provide tree trimming and pruning services to keep your remaining trees healthy.

What to Expect During Stump Removal

When you schedule stump grinding with us, we start by inspecting the stump and the surrounding area. We identify any obstacles like sprinkler lines, utilities, or landscape features. Then we set up our equipment and begin grinding the stump below ground level.

The grinding process is noisy, but it is usually completed within an hour for most residential stumps. Larger stumps or multiple stumps may take longer. After we finish grinding, we rake the area smooth and remove the wood chips. You can choose to keep the chips for mulch or have us haul them away.

Once the stump is gone, you can fill the hole with topsoil and plant grass seed. Within a few weeks, you will not even know there was a stump there. Your yard will be safer, cleaner, and ready for whatever you have planned next.
