10 steps in grinding out a stump

Pruning a stump is an important part of tree care and stump grinding is one way to remove a stump efficiently. For those in Cleveland, Ohio, or other parts of Northeast Ohio, stump grinding can be performed by certified arborists to ensure proper safety and removal. Here are 10 steps of stump grinding to help guide you through the stump removal process.

1. Measure stump size: Before stump grinding begins, professionals measure the stump to determine the stump’s size and location so that specialized stump grinding equipment can be used for the job.

2. Choose grinders: Professionals in northeast Ohio choose stump grinders based on their experience with what works best for growing conditions in the area.

3. Select stump removal tools: Professionals select stump removal tools such as shovels and pick axes to remove debris from around the stump, ensuring that all materials are removed before stump grinding.

4. Cut stump down to ground level: Using a chainsaw, professionals cut the stump down as close to ground level as possible before stump grinding commences.

5. Position stump grinder: With the stump now at ground level, professionals position their stump grinder directly over the stump and lower it onto the stump.

6. Start the grinding process: Once in position, professionals start the grinding process by turning on the machine’s motor and gradually increasing its speed.

7. Remove stump chips: As the stump grinders rotate against the stump, stump chips are removed from the stump and placed in a nearby container for disposal or to be used as compost.

8. Continue grinding stump: Professionals continue to grind the stump until it is completely gone, which typically takes about 30 minutes depending on the stump’s size.

9. Level stump area: Once the stump is completely ground away, professionals work to level out the stump area and fill in any holes or depressions created by stump grinding.

10. Clean up debris: The final step of stump grinding is to clean up the debris that was created during the process, ensuring that the stump area is ready for replanting or replacement.
