Robs Tree Removal

Stump grinding

Reasons people consider stump grinding may include, but are certainly not limited to:

Sodding over a previous tree location.
Grinding the stump to sever it from the roots in order to facilitate later excavation.
Clearing the way for shallow excavation or for construction.
Preventing suckering of the living stump (deciduous only).

The process

The stump is chewed into wood mulch with a self-propelled machine to a depth of 8″-12″ below the ground level at the stump.
The resulting chips are neatly raked into a mulch pile of earth and wood mulch where the stump was.
The mulch pile is left for the client’s use or is leveled off to ground level and the excess removed for a removal charge.
Mulch is handy for fill, compost, or spreading around gardens.
Surface roots may be ground away as well if requested for a removal charge.

Things to note

We need 36″ clearance for our machine to pass through any gate, plus it cannot negotiate more than 3 normal stairs, but can negotiate shallow stairs.

For stump removal pricing, pull the tape across the stump at its widest point near the ground like so, and plug that measurement into the appropriate boxes on the Quick calculator page. If the tree is still standing, just hold the tape straight across the trunk near the ground where it would be cut off, and eyeball the thickness on the tape from side to side, same as illustrated in the tree removal pricing pictures.
