Stump Grinding vs. Stump Removal: A Guide for Quinnesec, MI Homeowners

Once your tree is gone, what's the best way to handle the leftover stump in your Quinnesec, MI yard? Here’s a comparison of the two main professional services offered by J & L Tree Service.

Stump Grinding

• The Process: This is the most common and efficient method. A powerful machine with a high-speed cutting wheel is used to grind the stump down, shredding the wood into small chips. We typically grind to a depth of 6-12 inches below the surface, which is sufficient for most landscaping needs.
• The Result: The stump is gone from view. You are left with a pile of wood chips mixed with soil, which you can use as mulch in other areas of your garden or have us haul away. The major root system is left underground to decay naturally over time.
• Pros: Much faster, less labor-intensive, and significantly more affordable than full removal. It is far less damaging to the surrounding lawn and landscape. It allows you to immediately plant grass or a shallow-rooted garden over the area.
• Best For: The vast majority of residential situations in Quinnesec, MI where the primary goal is to remove the unsightly stump and reclaim the yard space for lawn or a small garden.
