Tree Stump Removal in Toronto

If you just cut down a tree in your yard and are wondering what to do with the remaining stump, there several ways to go about it. One option is to dig it up by hand and remove it. Some property owners burn the stump whereas others choose to use a chemical stump remover. These methods have their pros and cons. Digging the stump out by hand can be extremely difficult if the roots are very large and deep. The digging method works best when it’s a young tree with small, shallow roots.

The most common and efficient method of removing tree stumps is through a process commonly known as stump grinding. A machine is used to grind up the stumps and their root systems. It begins by grinding the stump’s surface then works its way into the ground. The grinder can go deep about a foot beneath the ground so you’re sure it will do a thorough job.

Stump removal must be done using proper equipment. A stump grinder is basically a power tool or equipment that chips away the wood using a rotating disk. This equipment chews up the tree stump leaving a pile of wood chips, which are placed inside the hole where the stump was located to cover it up.

The stump grinder is designed to perform the process in a fast, safe and ecological way. Stump grinders are often used in the removal process because they are compact in size and also offer an environmentally friendly way of getting rid of those unsightly tree stumps in your compound without causing any damage to the surrounding landscape.
