After a tree is removed, the stump left behind can be an eyesore, a tripping hazard, and an obstacle for new landscaping or construction. Our professional stump grinding services provide a complete solution to eliminate these unwanted remnants from your property.
At Northampton Tree Experts, we use specialized stump grinding equipment to efficiently reduce stumps to wood chips, well below ground level. This allows grass to grow over the area or provides space for new plantings or construction.
Why Remove Tree Stumps?
Improved Aesthetics
Stumps are unsightly and detract from your property's appearance and landscaping potential.
Safety Concerns
Stumps create tripping hazards, especially when hidden by grass or snow, and can damage lawn equipment.
Pest Prevention
Decaying stumps attract insects like termites and carpenter ants that may later invade your home.
New Growth Issues
Some tree species will continue to sprout from the stump, creating ongoing maintenance challenges.
