About Stump Removal

Stump removal is the process of using an excavator to dig around an entire tree stump and root ball, until it can be wrested completely from the ground.

Stump removal entails not only extracting the stump from the ground, but also all of the roots attached to it.

This natural requires some heavy equipment. The equipment required and process involved are damaging to the site.

Generally speaking, full stump removal is only useful if you’re clearing an area, preparing for a construction project or large landscaping project.

For blown down trees, with an exposed root ball, removal is usually the right choice, unless the stump is quite small.

To leave a level grade, the hole left behind will always need to be backfilled with existing material from elsewhere onsite, or brought in.

After the stump is removed what to do with it?
They are generally tough to burn (if that is even an option for you). To do so will usually require a large amount of brush and other wood to get a fire going strong enough to burn them.

If you have the space we can often move them to an out of the way location on your property.

Lastly we can haul it away. The fee for this varies, but is based on the dump fee, the mileage and number of trips needed.
