What Is Stump Grinding?

Stump grinding is a specialized process that removes tree stumps by mechanically grinding them down below ground level using powerful equipment. Unlike basic stump removal, which may leave behind roots and debris, professional stump grinding completely eliminates the stump and its surface root system. Our certified arborists use advanced machinery that can reduce any size stump into small wood chips, allowing the area to be restored to usable space while protecting your property’s landscape features and underground utilities.

We have used Arbor Management for many years and they are always professional, on time, courteous and cleanup all debris created during the trimming of our trees. They always walk us through the work before and after the actual trimming. We recommend their services for trimming above all others not only because the great service provided but they are arborist and address the health of all our trees as well as the shaping up during trimming.

I am extremely pleased with the Arbor Management team for their excellent performance, from the friendly staff who handled my order professionally. The crew was efficient and knowledgeable. My trees have been cleared of dead, hanging tree limbs. My yard debris was cleared up with no damage to my property or the neighbor’s. I can’t express how pleased I am that everything went smoothly and timely. I will definitely call them again in the future if I need more work. I would recommend Arbor Management to my friends and family!

Worked well with Arbor Management. Came to house within 4 days of initial contact. Cut up the tree that had fallen across a foot bridge. They removed it and left no trace. Very happy with this company.

The person who came out to look at the job and do the estimate was extremely knowledgeable and worked with me for the scope of work. The crew that came out was extremely courteous, very professional, the job was handled safely and the cleanup was immaculate. Part of the job was removing a 30 year old pin oak, which was overhanging the house. Great care was taken to avoid any damage.
The other part of the job was pruning a Zelkova to balance it wiht the loss of the oak tree and to raise it to clear the sidewalk and drive. They worked closely with me to keep the negative impact tot he tree at a minimum and we are extremely satisfied with the results.

Arbor Management was absolutely wonderful! I had three very large trees taken down because they were dying or unsafe and the whole crew was extremely knowledgeable and hard-working and dedicated. They were also very friendly and courteous. And the price was very reasonable. I really can’t say enough about Arbor management.

We’re very pleased with the quality work done by our Arbor Management team. They are very knowledgeable and helped us figure out which trees to save.

When and Why to Remove Tree Stumps

Safety and Liability Prevention

Leaving tree stumps on your property creates significant safety risks that can lead to liability issues. As stumps age and become less visible due to grass or ground cover, they become dangerous tripping hazards, particularly for children, elderly visitors, and anyone navigating your yard in low light conditions. Surface roots extending from old stumps can also damage lawn equipment and create additional tripping hazards across your lawn. Professional stump removal eliminates these risks, creating a safer environment for your family and visitors while protecting you from potential liability claims.

Property Value and Aesthetic Enhancement

Tree stumps detract from your property’s curb appeal and can significantly impact its market value. These unsightly remnants create an unfinished, neglected appearance that potential buyers or visitors notice immediately. Beyond appearance, stumps limit your landscaping options by occupying valuable space that could be used for new plants, outdoor living areas, or landscape features. Removing stumps opens up new possibilities for property enhancement and ensures your landscape maintains a clean, well-maintained appearance that adds value to your investment.

Pest and Disease Prevention

Pest and Disease Prevention Decaying stumps become natural habitats for various pests and diseases that can threaten your property’s health. As stumps deteriorate, they attract wood-boring insects like termites and carpenter ants, which can eventually migrate to nearby structures, including your home. The decomposing wood also provides an ideal environment for fungi and other plant diseases to thrive, potentially spreading to healthy trees and plants in your landscape. Professional stump removal eliminates these pest breeding grounds and disease incubators, protecting your property’s long-term health and reducing the risk of costly pest infestations.
