Removal of tree stumps is often referred to within the tree care industry as "Stump Grinding" - probably due to the fact that most of us have learned that the majority of the time, grinding out a stump is much easier than digging it out. If you have ever attempted to dig out a stump, whose trunk was larger than a few inches in diameter, you likely know exactly what we mean! We have excavated stumps and roots in the past, by hand, and with equipment, and we can assure you that, as a rule; it is far better to remove tree roots and stumps with a machine that has been designed for the job. At Ape's Tree Service, we have track driven and wheel driven stump grinders, of several power and size ratios. We can efficiently remove difficult stumps, with minimal damage to your lawn and landscape.
