Stump Grinding got you Stumped?

You are not alone!  We’ve found that lots of folks don’t really know what to expect when they request that we grind a stump in their yard. 

Schneider Tree Care has a dedicated stump removal crew who can expertly remove that stump so you can replant or resod the area and forget that a stump was even there.  Let us explain the process.

The first thing we have to consider is access.  Will our stump grinder fit through your fence?  It is 36” wide when we have the rubber tracks fully retracted.  And speaking of rubber tracks, the more twisting and turning we have to do to maneuver, the more chance that there will be some damage to your turf. 

The next thing you should expect is wood chips.  Even a small stump can create lots and lots of wood chips!  Our stump grinder can grind up to 12 inches below the ground so there is a lot of wood you can’t see - and it won’t all fit back into the hole it came from.  You will have a mound of chips on top of the ground.  

The good news is, you now have some free mulch to spread in your planting beds!
