Stump Grinding & Removal

Why You Should Not Leave Stumps in Your Yard

After you have a tree removed, you are left with a stump. It might seem harmless sitting there, but that stump is causing more problems than you think. It takes up valuable yard space, makes mowing a hassle, and can even become a safety hazard. Stumps do not just disappear on their own. They can take decades to decompose naturally.

Here in Chino Hills, we see plenty of homeowners dealing with old stumps they wish they had removed years ago. The good news is we can take care of it quickly and completely. Our professional stump grinding service removes the stump below ground level, so you can reclaim that space and use your yard the way you want. No more tripping hazards, no more eyesores, and no more problems.

Problems Stumps Cause

Leaving a stump in your yard creates more issues than most people realize. Here is what happens when stumps stick around:

• Attracts termites and other pests that can spread to your home
• Creates trip hazards for kids, pets, and guests
• Takes up space you could use for landscaping or outdoor living
• Makes mowing and yard maintenance difficult and time-consuming
• Can sprout new growth that drains nutrients from nearby plants
• Reduces your property value and curb appeal

How Stump Grinding Works

Stump grinding is the most effective way to remove a stump completely. We use specialized equipment that grinds the stump down into small wood chips. Our machines can grind stumps several inches below ground level, which means you can plant grass, flowers, or even a new tree in that spot if you want.

The process is quick and efficient. First, we assess the stump size and location. Then we use our commercial-grade stump grinder to chip away the wood. The grinding also takes care of the major surface roots, so you will not have those popping up later. We clean up all the wood chips and debris when we are done. You can keep the chips for mulch, or we will haul them away. After we finish, you have a clean, level yard ready for whatever comes next. If you are starting fresh and need land clearing services, we can handle that too.

Why Grinding Beats Other Removal Methods

You might have heard about other ways to remove stumps, like chemical treatments or burning. These methods take weeks or months, and they often do not work completely. Chemical stump removers need multiple applications and still leave you with a rotten stump to dig out. Burning is dangerous, requires permits, and can damage your soil.

Professional grinding gets the job done in one visit. It is safer, faster, and more thorough than any DIY method. Plus, you do not have to rent equipment or risk injuring yourself trying to wrestle with a stubborn stump. We bring the right tools and experience to handle stumps of any size. Whether you have one stump left over from tree removal in Chino Hills or multiple stumps across your property, we make the whole process simple and hassle-free.
