Why Remove Stumps?
As we know stumps can detract from the look and overall usability of your yard. Even when stumps look nice (which let’s be honest, is rare), tree stumps can attract pests, or worse, when they begin to rot.
While it may seem easier to let a stump decompose naturally, this can lead to:
- Pest Attraction: Decaying stumps invite insects and fungi.
- Disease Spread: Rotting wood harbor tree disease.
- Soil Quality Decline: Decay can harm soil health.
Our Stump Removal Process
We grind unwanted stumps and roots 6 to 12 inches below grade, typically completing the job in 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the stump size.
can you rot a tree stump?
If you have a tree stump in your yard, you might be wondering if you can just let it rot away. We’ve heard many people try different methods, like using Epsom salts or vinegar, hoping to speed up the process. While these ideas can seem straightforward, the results can be hit or miss.
Common Methods:
- Epsom Salts: This method claims to draw moisture out of the stump, potentially speeding up decay.
- Vinegar: Its acidity might promote rot, but you’ll likely need to apply it numerous times for any real effect.
- Chemical Stump Removers: These can work, but you may want to think about the environmental impact.
While it’s tempting to take the DIY route, there are some downsides to consider. Letting a stump decompose naturally can take years, leaving you with an eyesore in your yard and potentially attracting pests and diseases that can harm your other plants.
Downsides of Rotting a Stump
- Time-Consuming: Waiting for a stump to rot can feel like an eternity, and you’ll have to live with that unsightly reminder.
- Attracts Pests: Decaying stumps can invite unwanted guests like insects and fungi, which could spread to your other plants.
- Partial Success: Many of these methods may not fully break down the stump, meaning you might still need to deal with remnants later.
These methods are often unreliable and can sometimes do more harm than good. For affordable and fast stump removal, contact us. We can grind your stump down in under two hours!

FAQs
Can I remove stumps on my New York property?
Yes, you may remove tree stumps from your New York property; however, the process will vary in method based on the size and intricacy of the stump. You could deal with small stumps yourself using methods like grinding, digging, or using chemicals. Large stumps with big roots are best left to professionals to ensure safe and adequate extraction. This will help you avoid some potential problems: regrowth of the tree or pest damage in that area.
If you’re working within 50 feet of a tree on New York City property, you need to know that you will have to obtain a permit with the Parks & Recreation Department.
These regulations, along with others, make hiring professional stump removal services very important. Otherwise, this might lead to fines that may be imposed.
Is grinding or removing a stump cheaper?
In most cases, grinding a stump will be less expensive than the complete removal of the stump. The process of grinding cuts down the stump to levels below the ground; it allows retention of the roots while being a less involving process and hence cheaper, costing approximately $100 to $400, depending on the size of the stump. On the contrary, removal entails the whole stump and root extraction, which is quite complex and more costly, hence ranging between $200 and $700 or even more.

How much does stump removal cost?
Sump removal or grinding is typically charged by inch. The measurement usually refers to across the diameter of the stump. How much it is per inch depends on the company and could vary based on accessibility, but the average cost is generally a price based upon the width of the stump at ground level. For example, some services charge a flat rate per inch of the stump’s diameter, taking into consideration accessibility and the condition of the stump.
