Stump Grinding in ​Loma Linda

What is Stump Grinding?
Grinding and mulching tree stumps into small bits of wood is a way to permanently decompose the trees. A stump grinder uses an abrasive tool with rotating tungsten teeth to grind down the trunk, destroying root systems. Once the tree has been removed by a tree surgeon, it is either burnt and turned into compost or cut in sections so that pieces of wood can be recycled. The stump grinder may be used to prevent regrowth. The stump grinder also prevents pests from returning to the site because there is no food source left for them.

Why Stump Grinding?
Many tree services might tell you that stump grinding is essential to get a complete removal, as the roots of stumps can still be alive and well even after the trees have been cut down. Removing a tree stump requires removing the root ball from the ground. This often becomes expensive and damaging to your yard. Stump grinding leaves all the woody material in one place, making it easier to collect.
Stump Grinding may be hard work for even a professional tree surgeon, but it is much quicker and more efficient than manual removal or root killing. Stump grinders are often used by tree surgeons to speed up the disposal of garden. Stump grinding is typically cheaper and better for your garden.

Our Process
  1. Once the removal team has cleared any environmental hazards, their stump grinder is brought onto the site.
  2. We then set the teeth of the electric grinder on top of the stump and then begin to dismantle it.
  3. As the wood is broken down by a machine, it can be turned into mulch based on organic wood and soil from your garden.
  4. The tree surgeon will choose a depth for the machine to ensure that the stump will decay and new plants can be planted.
  5. Once completed, the machine and all large materials and waste will be removed from the site. 
  6. Premium mulch will be used to fill the hole left by the stump, creating an optimal site for new plants and land use.
  7. A full property clean-up, leaving it in better condition than before.​
