What Is Tree Stump Grinding?
Stump Grinding is one of several techniques recommended for stumps left behind after tree removal. Furthermore, at Saanich BC Tree Service, a professional arborist uses a grinder to break the stump and roots into tiny pieces, leaving just wood chips behind.
The Tree Stump Grinding Process
Stump Grinding is less intrusive than other techniques for stump removal. During the grinding process, our team will grind a tree stump into wood chips in the ground. You can repurpose these chips as mulch or compost for other plants. You can dispose of them as yard waste.
It’s a quick, simple way to remove the aboveground portion of the stump and destroys most or all of the root system. If you choose Stump Grinding for your yard, consult a landscaping professional before rebuilding or replanting on the same site.
Why Opt for Professional Tree Stump Grinding?
The benefits of Tree Stump Grinding are numerous and include:
- Improving the appearance of your yard. When left to rot, tree stumps can make a beautiful landscape appear shabby.
- Freeing up space for new landscaping or structures. Explore new landscape design possibilities in a yard free of old tree stumps.
- Keep your yard safe. Neglected tree stumps may be a hazard in your lawn, they may make the space difficult to use for outdoor living, and hidden roots are known to damage mower blades.
Grinding is a dangerous job that requires the use of heavy-duty equipment. Stump grinder services should only be performed by an expert.
What’s the Cost of Tree Stump Grinding?
Grinding a stump is typically less costly than having it fully removed. However, Stump Grinding costs depend on a variety of factors, including:
- Stump diameter Larger tree stumps are significantly harder to remove. Each inch of the stump’s diameter increases the cost.
- Stump age Older stumps have had time to rot and soften, reducing the effort it takes to grind them down. However, if left dry and sunbaked for too long, a stump often turns hard as a rock.
- Tree species Some tree species pose a more demanding grinding challenge than others, including pine, spruce, silver maple, elm, and acacia tree stumps.
- Root system Older trees have had time to work their roots deeper and wider, creating a root system that takes considerable time and effort to grind. A tree with a less extensive system makes a job faster, easier, and less expensive. You can also choose a shallow grind, which leaves most of the root system intact.
- Required cleanup We always include general landscape cleanup in the price of Stump Grinding. If you choose to reuse and recycle Stump Grindings, you can save money and receive a practical resource for your landscaping.
- Number of stumps to grind The more stumps you need to have ground, the more expensive a job will be. At Saanich BC Tree Service, we do everything in our power to make our services budget-friendly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to roots after Stump Grinding?
Tree Stump Grinding is a process that involves removing the visible part of the stump while leaving the roots in the ground. Once the grinding is complete, the area becomes suitable for grass seeding. Over time, the remaining roots will naturally decay, which can take up to a decade.
In the event that you decide to replant a tree in the same area, we advise opting for our standard deeper grinding method. This approach involves removing a more significant portion of the existing root system, ensuring a better environment for the new tree to establish and grow.
Can you plant over a ground stump?
Although it is technically feasible to replant over a ground stump, particularly if the roots have started to decay, we do not endorse this approach. For optimal growth and health, a new tree will thrive when provided with ample space to establish its root system in fresh soil. Therefore, we highly recommend allowing sufficient room for the new tree to flourish and avoid replanting directly over the ground stump.
Will a tree grow back if you grind the stump?
Most stumps won’t regrow after being ground out. Tree roots can, however, regrow in certain widespread species. The root system of trees such as the Black locust or Redford pear can produce sprouts, which need to be ground down in order to be fully removed.
