Seattle Tree stump grinding invasive trees

In Seattle, invasive trees can be a significant nuisance, taking over your garden and yard space, and leaving behind unsightly stumps when removed. Not only do these stumps detract from your landscape’s beauty, but they can also pose safety hazards and attract pests. The good news? Stump grinding is a quick and effective solution to eliminate these remnants, enhancing your property’s curb appeal, ensuring safety, and promoting eco-friendliness with low maintenance.


Description & Benefits

Stump grinding involves the removal of tree stumps by grinding them down into small wood chips. This process typically includes:

  • Assessing the stump size and root system
  • Using professional-grade stump grinders
  • Grinding the stump down to a depth of 6-12 inches below ground level
  • Removing excess wood chips or using them as mulch in your garden

  • Increased Durability: A clear yard allows for better growth of grass and plants, enhancing the health of your garden.
  • Safety: Stumps can be tripping hazards, particularly for children and elderly guests. Grinding them down helps create a safer outdoor space.
