A stump grinder can cause damage if it’s used improperly. These are large, powerful saw tools that need careful handling even when not in use.

That’s why it’s important to use stump grinders carefully and to contact a professional if you don’t feel up to the task.

If you’re wondering who will pick up stump grindings or the remnants of your stump once it’s fully decayed, consider hiring a professional landscaping service. You can also hire a professional stump grinding service if you have a stubborn stump that you can’t remove on your own. If you choose that route, be sure to include the removal of leftover debris in your contract.
