STUMP GRINDING & REMOVAL SERVICE
Tree Stump Grinding or Removal?Tree stump grinding and removal is a common step after tree removal service. Most property owners prefer not to be left with a rotting stump their lawn and landscape. Tree stumps are not only unsightly but also provide homes for insect and vermin. Call Kiefer Tree Service Bakersfield to have those ugly tree stumps removed entirely from your property and ground down to below the surface of the soil.
Stump grinding is the most common method to eliminate the appearance of a stump in your yard. The grinding process, using a special machine called a stump grinder, grinds away at a stump until it has been ground below the earth's surface. Typically stump grinders grind a stump down to 6 to 10 inches below the soil so that you can plant seed, sod, or other landscape plantings over top of it. Conversely, tree stump removal involves digging the stump out of the ground, along with any surface roots. For the most part, stump removal is unnecessary unless foundational, below the surface of the ground work, is necessary. Stump grinding suffices for 99% of all property owners needs. |

Stumps vary on their difficulty to grind, although any stump can be ground below soil level. However, age, species of tree, location, and certainly the size of the stump are all factors on the amount of time it takes to grind it below the earth's surface. Newer hardwood stumps are the hardest to grind vs older softwood stumps are the easiest. Regardless though, we can grind any size stump successfully within one to three hours, removing all appearances of it in your landscape. The key to grinding a stump is the quality of the machine and its operator. Modern stump grinds, which is all Bakersfield Tree Service utilizes, have cutting-edge technology that makes short work out of any size stump; whereas older equipment can take longer and cause more area damage to your landscape. Be sure when you are considering a tree service company in Bakersfield, ask them about their equipment and how new it is.
