Family owned business with over 7 years experience - Tree Service - Lot Clearing - trimming- debris removal- Stump Grinding we can do about anything you can think of just ask and be satisfied I do all things through christ God bless

"They were terrible from the first day. They left limbs and branches all over the back yard. The next time they came they left ruts and big digits in the yard. The third time they came was to grind stumps. They did not clean up the chips nor the little stumps they had to cut down. Thy also damaged some shingles on my shed, said they would repair it and never did. Then they asked for more money. Now I have to have someone finished picking up the limbs and branches they left laying behind my shed. I would never recommend them to anyone."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Rochester, MN

The time it takes to grind a stump depends on its size and the type of wood. Small, softwood stumps take only 15 minutes to remove, while large, hardwood stumps can take several hours. Before the project begins, ask your stump grinding pro for an estimate so you can plan accordingly.

There are several alternative methods to stump removal, including winching it with mechanical equipment, cutting it with a chainsaw, grubbing out the stump and roots, initiating a burn with the required permits, activating natural rotting processes, and applying chemical treatments to expedite decay. Each method offers its own advantages and safety requirements, so it is important to select the option that best suits your project and complies with local regulations.

The cost of tree removal typically doesn't include stump grinding. Removing a stump requires different equipment and skills than cutting down a tree. If you want both services, your contractor will often charge extra for grinding the stump. However, bundling tree removal and stump grinding can sometimes save you money, so it's worth asking about package deals.

Pest issues in a tree stump do not slow down the grinding process. The decay accelerated by pests can make grinding more efficient. However, if an infestation is present, it is important to arrange for pest control afterward to safeguard the health of your garden. Ensuring thorough pest management after stone removal supports long-term yard stability and prevents further damage.
