• • Stump grinding- This method is an effective way to get rid of any stump. It requires the use of specialized grinding equipment that will reduce the size of the stump until it is no longer visible. Stump grinders can be rented, but expect to pay a large sum. This powerful tool grinds the stump little by little until the entire thing is no more. 
  • Digging by hand- Some stumps may not allow the use of machinery due to their location. If this is the case, we can unearth the stump and get rid of it. This approach is most applicable to smaller, younger trees. We will need to cut the roots and remove the stump little by little.
  • Digging with a backhoe- This is a method we don’t normally use because of the damage it can cause the soil in the tree’s surroundings. In some cases where this method is called for, we do our best to cause little to no damage to your landscape. It entails the use of a backhoe to lift the tree off the ground. 
  • Chemicals- This approach requires drilling holes in the stump and then filling it with chemicals that speed up the decomposition process. This method works best when the stump is dry and in need of moisture.
