Professional Stump Grinding

Eliminate your Greater Baltimore Area Stumps

Fast, Efficient, and Eco-Friendly Stump Grinding

After tree removal, you’ll have a stump remaining in your yard. While some choose to leave it in the ground and allow it to decompose slowly, these stumps can become eyesores on your property and a tripping hazard for anyone visiting.

Instead of digging the stump out, have our team at A-AAA Tree Service perform stump grinding to take the stump below the soil level, leaving it out of sight and out of mind.

Our Stump Grinding Process

We don’t want there to be any surprises when we show up to perform stump grinding, so we’ve outlined our basic process below so you know what to expect.

Start with an On-Site Consultation

We’ll send one of our qualified estimators to your property to examine the stump, get an idea of its location, and come up with an idea of what the job will entail.

Provide an Estimate

Once we better understand your stump and property, we will provide you with an estimate. There are no hidden fees or “gotchas,” just an honest appraisal of the cost.

Schedule the Work

Once you accept our estimate, we can add you to the schedule and prepare any necessary details on our end for assembling a team.

Grind the Stump

On the day of the service, our team will arrive ready to work. They’ll use our stump grinder to expertly take the stump 4-6 inches below the soil level and backfill the hole.

Clean Up Debris

Stump grinding can make a mess, and our team is thorough in cleaning up after we finish the job. When we’re done, the only thing that should be different is the missing stump.

Why You Need Stump Grinding After Tree Removal

Foregoing stump grinding may seem like a good way to save a few bucks, but it’s really not worth it in the long run. Some of the benefits of stump grinding include:

  • Improve Curb Appeal: Stumps can look ugly sitting in your yard, especially if you don’t do anything with them. Stump grinding eliminates an eyesore and boosts curb appeal.

  • Prevent Regrowth: You may look at your stump and notice it starts putting out new growth. These shoots will require cutting for the first few years after removal, unless you get stump grinding.

  • Maximize Your Yard Space: Yard space can be at a premium in more urban areas like Baltimore, so don’t waste it with an ugly stump.

  • Eliminate a Tripping Risk: Stumps and the remaining roots can be tripping hazards for visitors and kids playing in the yard.

Call 811 Before Any Stump Grinding

While you won’t need a permit for stump grinding in most municipalities in the Greater Baltimore Area, you should call Miss Utility before any work that involves going underground. This allows utility companies the chance to mark any underground utilities, ensuring nobody damages them during the job.
