What is Stump Grinding?

Stump grinding allows Princeton Tree Care to perform a safe, efficient, and complete tree stump removal so that you can use the area where the tree once was for a different purpose.

The Stump Grinding Process

Princeton Tree Care uses a high-tech, professional stump grinder to mechanically remove the entire tree stump. A stump grinder is a heavy piece of machinery that should only be operated by a trained and experienced professional from a tree removal service. The machine is powered by a petrol engine, and consists of a hydraulically controlled arm and a steel cutting wheel. The cutting wheel is at the end of the arm, and contains extremely sharp steel teeth. The wheel spins at a very high speed, allowing it to cut through and grind the tree stump.

Why You Should Consider Stump Grinding

Stump grinding is the most efficient and effective form of stump removal. When you opt for stump grinding, you can rest assured that the entire tree stump will be removed, thus eliminating the hazards and safety risks of an exposed stump. Stump grinding also ensures that termites, ants, bees, snakes, and other pests do not have a ready habitat in which to nest. Additionally, opting for stump grinding rather than stump removal demands less of an impact on your landscaping.
