Stump Removal Services Near Central Kentucky

Stump grinding involves us using a machine to grind the tree stump down to below ground level, leaving the roots intact but out of sight. On the other hand, stump removal involves completely excavating the stump and its root system from the ground. Stump grinding is generally faster and less invasive than stump removal, making it a preferred choice for many homeowners.

The time required to grind a tree stump depends on its size, the type of tree, and the stump's location. On average, stump grinding near Central Kentucky takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours per stump. Larger stumps or those in hard-to-reach areas may take longer. We will provide a time estimate before beginning the job.

Stump grinding removes the visible part of the stump and grinds it below ground level, preventing the tree from regrowing. However, some types of trees can send up new shoots from the roots. If this happens, the shoots can be easily removed, or we can provide additional treatments to prevent regrowth.
