Q: What is a stump grinder and what does it do?
A: Great question! It’s a really cool machine that’s grinds up a stump left over from a tree removal, either professionally or by natural disaster. The machine can be anywhere from a small gas powered rental, to a big diesel machine.
The grinder uses a metal wheel with removal teeth that have a carbide tip attatched to it. Because the force behind the machine can be so great, the wheel spins very fast allowing the teeth to grind up the stump. This leaves behind a hole where the stump was, and what esentially looks like wood chips for you or your landscaper to take away as I DO NOT clean up the debris after the grinding is complete.
Q: How do I measure a stump to get the most accurate estimate?
A: The best way to measure a stump is from the BOTTOM of the stump, where the stump meets the grass. NOT the top.
**If there are any roots, these must be included as well.
Q: How long does the stump grinding take?
A: It depends on the size and type (maple, oak, pine, etc.) of stump, as well as the type of machine being used and the experience level of the operator.
Q: What happens if you miss you a piece of stump?
A: This happens. Especially when grinding a bigger stump. If you notice there is a piece of stump left behind, after I leave, please call me and I'll be more than happy to come back and grind it again.
Q: That seems cool! I want to watch what you're doing. Is there a safe place me to watch you grind the stump?
A: The best place to watch is inside your house. The machine's wheel is very powerful and can actually throw debris from the stump pretty far and fast.
**PLEASE DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE SPINNING BLADE!**
Because this is a very intense service requiring my undivided attention, if you need to ask me a question while I'm in the middle of grinding a stump, please wait until I am finished to get my attention. I ask this for the safety of both you, and myself.
