Who Can Do Stump Grinding?

Do you have a stump that needs grinding? If so, you’ve come to the right place.

As we prepare for Spring in Queensland, many of you might be wanting to take advantage of the warm weather and spruce up your backyard. But how do you go about grinding a stump, and is it even something you should attempt yourself?

In this article, we’ll discuss the differences between stump removal and stump grinding, why people grind stumps and why we would recommend always contacting an expert for professional advice.

Difference Between Stump Grinding and Stump Removal

Stump grinding and stump removal are processes completed after you’ve cut down a tree. Removal involves removing the stump complete with all the roots, which leaves a big hole in your garden bed. This can be unsightly and a little dangerous.

Grinding, on the other hand, is where professionals grind down a stump so there’s almost nothing left. This allows nature to take over and the stump can decay on its own.

Why Do You Grind a Stump & Is it Something I Can DIY?

Tree stumps are often removed (or in this case) ground down because they are sick, dying or causing major issues in your backyard. If you don’t ground down the stump, you risk poisoning the rest of your property, which may cause even further hassle down the line.

While it is technically possible DIY stump grinding, it’s not something we, as professionals, can advocate.

Why We Wouldn’t Recommend DIY Stump Grinding

As professionals in this industry with years of experience behind us, we at Affordable Tree Service would recommend you never attempt stump grinding yourself or without professional assistance.

If you don’t know what you’re doing, you may endanger yourself or others. Additionally, it’s a time consuming process that could prove costly.
