Safety

Stump grinding also improves the safety of your yard. When you leave stumps in the ground, you create obstacles that can cause people to trip and fall as they walk across your property.

By getting rid of the stumps, you can prevent new trees from taking root and growing. Stump grinding can maintain or improve the appearance of your yard and keep it free of sprouting trees that may crop up all over your yard.
