What are methods of tree stump removal? Around Richmond area, stump grinding is the most popular method of removing a tree stump. When grinding a stump, we bring on site a stump grinder, a specialized machine that works somewhat similarly to a wood chipper. We use modern grinders that get the job done quickly, efficiently, and at great price. The grinder has a rotating wheel with blades that chips and, well, grinds - the stump gradually away. In a gradual fashion, we grind several inches below the surface, which creates a hole that can be filled with the wood chipping or with mulch. Depending on the expected use of the area, we grind the stump at least 4in below the surface, or even more in case of some applications (e.g., for lawns).

On the other hand, it removes all of the stump and large part of the root system below ground, making it more suitable for some specific applications such as planting vegetables.
