Stump Grinding and Removal
Professional Stump Grinding and Removal Services
Trusted Stump Grinding Specialists
Tree stumps are not only unsightly, but they can be dangerous to people who can trip over them and can also be cumbersome when trying to move your lawn.
Tree stumps usually are the result of people who have cut down the tree themselves or hired an inexperienced or unlicensed company to provide proper full service tree removal. If there is still a stump remaining after the tree was removed, it means the tree removal was only 75% done. It’s in best practice toward the value of your home or business and the safety to those around to properly remove those stumps.
At Nantucket Green Tree, we provide both stump grinding and stump removal services. Stump grinding is the most efficient method for the removal of tree stumps without causing destruction or damage to the surrounding lawn.
If you have a stump to remove, we have the equipment you need. A stump grinder is a motorized machine with a spinning cutter wheel which grinds the stump into mulch. The stump can be ground to a shallow depth to allow turf or groundcover to grow, or it can be ground to a deeper level to plant larger plant material. Surface roots can also be removed if they present a problem.

Why Remove Tree Stumps?
Increase Safety & Property Value
Stumps can be dangerous as well as unsightly. There is always a risk of someone tripping over a stump or its’ roots and getting injured. Tree stumps aren’t pretty. Period. Removing it from your yard takes care of an eyesore for you and your neighbor.
Unsightly tree stumps lessen your home or business’ curb appeal which can in turn lower your property value. Would you rather buy a home with a yard of blooming, well-maintained trees? Or one with even one tree stump left behind?
Stumps can damage lawn equipment if it gets in the way while mowing. Speaking of mowing, wouldn’t it be great to not have to mow around that ugly, old tree stump? Stump removal can take care of that.
Tree stumps can spread decay and invite unwanted species into your yard. Termites, beetles, carpenter ants, and many other wood-boring insects love to infest decaying tree stumps. Once your stump has been infected it will almost certainly spread to healthy trees or shrubs on your lawn.
It is best to get the entire stump removed to prevent decay, mold, or infected wood from spreading. The health of your yard depends on it.
