“But most tree companies near me offer tree stump removal services!”
This is technically true, but few offer true professional stump removal via stump grinding.
What is stump grinding?
Stump removal via stump grinding involves pulverizing the entire stump into mulch. This is usually done with a sharp and very quick spinning wheel, although the specific machine comes in various sizes and models, each offering more power or precision.
If you want proper stump grinding
Naturally, sharp spinning blades are something that requires safety gear and forethought to handle correctly. This is why any proper company offering stump grinding in Alexandria will begin their task with an on-site consultation.
What we check for
After checking out the terrain type, the tree species, the stump size, and the root system’s depth, we can begin designing a realistic grinding operation.
Some trees are known for their tougher, more resilient wood and will need specific types of blades. Many treatments that the tree may have been subjected to while still young can affect the grinding process, such as metal wiring or anti-pest coatings.
How we prepare
During grinding, the mulch and wood chips created tend to spin around and be thrown in all directions. This is why, before we turn any blades on, we properly secure the perimeter to ensure no wood chips are capable of damaging surrounding property.
We will also check the area for nearby underground cables or root systems that belong to other plants. This is a crucial part of the highly precise stump grinding service that we are proud to offer.
What comes next?
A complete deep grinding job also requires us to go a few inches underground and get rid of external roots. This is done to avoid having twigs grow underneath your new building. And of course, the job is not complete until we have cleaned up the area and completely refilled the hole.
