Stump grinding is something we are asked a lot of questions about! Whether you previously had a tree removed and just a stump left or looking to have a tree and stump removed, we can help you through the tree removal and stump grinding process. Depending on access to the tree stump we typically use a stump grinder to remove tree stumps. An excavator may be needed if access to the tree stump is limited.
