Stump Grinding
Before grinding and removing a stump we will carry out an assessment. Some stumps are easier to remove than others. In Florida pine stumps are fairly easy to remove as their roots are relatively shallow, flat and wide. Deciduous trees can be a little more problematic. Their roots are longer and buried much deeper in the ground.
The age and size of a stump can also determine how easy stump removal will be. Generally speaking, the older a stump is, the easier it should be to remove. Likewise, smaller stumps are easier to remove than larger ones. Our fully insured team will also check for any utility lines that could be lying beneath the ground, ensuring that there is no unnecessary damage as a result of the stump removal.
