Stump Grinding & Removal

After a tree comes down, the stump left behind can be more than just an eyesore. It takes up valuable yard space, creates a tripping hazard, and can attract pests. Our stump grinding and removal services in Watertown, MA make those problems disappear. We use powerful equipment to grind stumps below ground level, giving you a clean, usable space.

Why Remove Tree Stumps

Leaving a stump in your yard might seem harmless, but it can cause several problems. Stumps can sprout new growth, forcing you to deal with unwanted saplings. They also decay slowly, attracting termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-boring insects that may eventually move to your home or other structures.

Beyond pests, stumps get in the way of mowing, landscaping, and other yard activities. They can damage lawn equipment and create safety hazards for children playing outside. The longer a stump sits, the more of a nuisance it becomes.

Our Stump Grinding Process

We use professional stump grinders that can handle stumps of any size. Here is what you can expect when you hire us:

• We assess the stump size and location to choose the right equipment
• Our grinder reduces the stump to wood chips 6 to 12 inches below ground level
• We grind out major surface roots to prevent regrowth
• The wood chips can be used as mulch or hauled away, your choice
• We fill the hole with soil and clean up the work area completely
• You get a level, ready-to-use space where the stump used to be

The grinding process is fast and efficient. Most residential stumps take less than an hour to grind. Larger stumps or those in difficult locations may take longer, but we complete the job thoroughly regardless of the challenge.

Benefits of Professional Stump Removal

Professional stump grinding offers advantages that DIY methods cannot match. Our equipment grinds stumps quickly and completely, removing the entire stump and major roots. This prevents regrowth and ensures the area is ready for whatever you plan next.

Professional tree services in Watertown mean you do not have to rent expensive equipment or risk injury trying to remove a stump yourself. We handle everything safely and efficiently. Whether you need complete tree removal or just stump grinding for an existing stump, we provide reliable service at competitive prices.

What Happens to the Wood Chips

Stump grinding produces a large amount of wood chips. You can keep these chips to use as mulch in your garden beds and around trees. Wood chips help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil as they break down.

If you do not want the chips, we will haul them away as part of our service. We can also provide additional topsoil and seed the area if you want grass to grow in the spot. Our land and lot clearing services can handle larger projects involving multiple stumps and extensive site preparation.
