Dig Deeper: Stump Removal and Grinding Services
Have you recently removed a tree from your site? Don’t forget about the stump — and the root system. You’ll want to remove it because tree stumps are favourite spots for insects and pests. Having tree stumps removed would mean a smooth, healthy, and safe garden.
At Ocean Road Tree Services, we use the most up-to-date grinding machine. Our advanced tools can go beneath the surface, chipping away at the roots to ensure complete stump removal.
Reach out to us if you don’t want to see any part of the stump on the ground.
Stump Removal: Challenges and Solution
Stump removal involves digging below the earth’s surface and pulling the tree out by its roots. It’s a difficult process due to the fact that the tree roots spread over a larger diameter, and pulling them out may cause significant damage to nearby pavement or building. Moreover, if the roots have gone deeper into the earth, pulling them out becomes more demanding.
This is why you need a professional to get the job done.
Ideally, a tree removal specialist would grind a stump down using a machine that keeps chipping away at the wood until they go 30 centimeters deep into the soil. This depth is quite safer and an efficient solution as compared to pulling the tree out by its roots.
Below-the-ground grinding vanishes unsightly tree stumps, leaving the surface smoother and usable.

- Grinding: Specialized grinders break down the stump under the ground.
- Rotary Cutting: Rotary cutting tools are attached to machinery to grind away large stumps, especially for large-scale projects.
- Excavation: It involves digging deeper around the rooted stumps, cutting and removing roots.
- Manual Removal: This labour-intensive approach involves digging, chopping, or pulling the stump and roots. It may need specialized equipment.
- Burning: Stump is ignited and reduced into ashes.

Do you remove all the roots?
