Why You Should Remove Old Tree Stumps

Leaving stumps in your yard may seem harmless at first, but they come with hidden risks and long-term headaches. Here’s why stump grinding is an essential part of tree removal:

Improves Curb Appeal: Unsightly stumps make your yard look unkempt.

Prevents Pest Infestations: Rotting stumps attract termites, ants, and beetles.

Stops Regrowth: Some tree species can sprout back from the stump.

Eliminates Hazards: Stumps create trip-and-fall risks, especially in active yards.

Frees Up Space: Grinding stumps opens up usable land for landscaping or development.

If you're unsure whether a tree needs to be removed, we offer expert inspections to assess the risk and recommend the safest, most cost-effective solution.

How Our Stump Grinding Service Works

At CAT 5 Tree Services, we use commercial-grade grinding machines that reduce stumps below ground level. This allows grass, mulch, or new construction to be placed over the area without interference. Our process includes

  1. Site inspection to locate the stump and identify underground utilities.
  2. Safe grinding of the stump down to the desired depth (usually 6–12 inches below ground).
  3. Debris cleanup or optional removal of wood chips.
  4. Backfilling the area for a smooth, level finish.

We grind stumps from freshly cut trees as well as old, long-standing stumps left behind from previous removals.

Stump Grinding vs. Stump Removal

You may be wondering what the difference is between grinding and full removal. Here's a quick comparison:

  • Stump Grinding: Faster, less invasive, more affordable. Leaves the root system in place, but it decays naturally underground.
  • Stump Removal: Involves digging out the entire stump and root system. It requires heavy machinery and is often used for construction prep.

In most cases, stump grinding is the preferred option for homeowners and property managers who want quick, clean results with minimal disruption.
