Stump Grinding
Stump grinding is the process of removing a tree stump by using a specialized machine that grinds the stump into small wood chips. Unlike full stump removal, which involves excavating the entire root system, stump grinding removes the visible stump and grinds it below ground level. This allows the area to be restored with soil, seed, or new plantings while eliminating tripping hazards, pest concerns, and unwanted regrowth.
Dig Safe is a free notification service that helps prevent damage to underground utilities before any excavation work begins. Before digging, property owners and contractors contact Dig Safe to request utility markings. Utility companies then mark the locations of underground lines such as gas, electric, water, sewer, and telecommunications. Following Dig Safe procedures helps ensure safety, prevents costly repairs, and complies with state regulations. Whether planting trees, installing fences, grinding stumps, or performing landscaping work, it is important to have utilities marked before digging begins.
