Tree stumps can be an eyesore in your yard and pose a hazard to your lawnmowers, children, and pets. That’s why stump grinding is an important service to consider when removing a tree from your property.
What is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding is the process of removing the remaining tree stump after a tree has been cut down. This is done using a specialized machine called a stump grinder, which has a rotating cutting disk that chips away at the stump until it is gone.
Importance of Stump Grinding
