When a stump is ground down, the root fragments left behind cannot sprout. Grinding destroys the stump’s cambium and bud tissue—the growth points needed for shoots. Roots alone lack the hormonal signals and energy reserves to regenerate. Buried fragments decompose in dark, oxygen-poor soil instead of producing new growth. Without a living stump to direct resources, those severed roots are simply inert remnants, not capable of sprouting into new trees.

Live or dead roots are part of the ecosystem of this area of ​​soil. When a stump is deeply crushed together with the roots, the most significant part of the tree’s root system loses its viability. The root stumps will begin to attract worms, fungi and microorganisms involved in the processing of dead wood. It usually takes several years for the wood residues to completely decompose and become humus.

There are usually no problems with growing grass where a stump is grinded. Sawdust drains the soil well and prevents water from stagnating. You will likely need to water this area more often. Shredded wood depletes the soil and can pull phosphorus out of the soil. Therefore, do not forget to fertilize and next year the lawn will grow quite fluffy. Usually new grass grows well after the stump is removed by milling. It makes sense to immediately plant the area before the wind brings weeds. We recommend giving preference to seeds coated with fertilizers. If you prefer professional care, please let us know.

Flying wood chips can cause some damage. We provide protection and recommend not to approach the stump grinding work site closer than 3 meters. There is a possibility of underground communications, such as gas or water supply, cables, etc. If you are not sure of their absence, please notify us and we will make sure before starting work. You can also find out on your own where the underground lines are by calling 811. If you know that there is something under the stump, then it is probably better to choose an alternative method to remove the stump from the area. For example chemical.

Why do we recommend a personal meeting to estimate the cost of stump removal services?
1. It is difficult to estimate the condition of the stump, its size and location of the root system, the presence of stones, metals and other factors that complicate the work from a photograph. Therefore, with a contactless method of assessment, the cost is always slightly overestimated to account for unforeseen complications.
2. The photo does not show whether we can deliver the equipment and fulfill your order. Neither you nor we like to waste time.
3. During a personal meeting, we often offer additional options to reduce the cost. We recommend using them.
4. We have different ways to remove stumps. Grinding may not be the most effective and profitable choice for you. We can understand the possibility of using our other services only after inspecting the stump and conditions in person. We are officially registered as an LLC and insured.
