What is Stump Grinding?

Most homeowners, and landowners, believe that maintaining their trees and tree stumps is not a big deal, ignoring risks of the exposed area. Sesmas Tree Service only uses a high-tech stump grinder to mechanically remove the entire tree stump. A stump grinder is a heavy machine – that can be the size of a lawn mower or as large as a truck. This should only be operated by a well-trained and experienced team member. Powered by a petrol engine, the machine is typically a steel cutting wheel attached to a hydraulically controlled arm. With extremely sharp steel teeth, the cutting wheel is at the end of the arm. The wheel spins at an extremely high speed, allowing it to cut through and grind the tree stump.

In addition to working the machine itself, we believe in safety first. Our team operators advise safe distance, and use protective equipment against noise and flying debris, as there can be sharp pieces of wood, or even old fence posts, old piping, bricks, glass, nails, or lost tools.

Why Should You Consider Stump Grinding?

Stump grinding is dangerous, not a DIY trick that you can do by yourself, and can potentially damage you own and your neighbor’s property. Sesmas Tree Service will perform efficient and effective stump removal, so you can rest assured that the entire tree stump will be removed. Stump grinding also ensures the elimination of hazards, and guarantees that termites, ants, bees, snakes, and other pests do not have a ready habitat in which to nest. Moreover, opting for stump grinding demands less of an impact on your landscaping, which is not the case for stump removal.
