What Happens When a Stump Needs to Go?
Leaving a stump behind can make mowing difficult, take up valuable yard space, and leave an unwanted reminder of a tree that has already been removed. Kenny’s Tree Removal offers stump grinding and stump removal options based on the condition of the stump and what you want to do with the area afterward.
For many properties, grinding the stump below the surrounding grade is the practical choice. If the entire stump and root mass needs to be excavated for construction, landscaping, or another project, complete removal may be the better option.
Stump Grinding
The stump is ground below grade, allowing the area to be covered with soil, mulch, or prepared for future landscaping.
Complete Stump Removal
The stump and surrounding root mass can be excavated when completely clearing the area is necessary for a project.
Get Your Yard Back After Tree Removal
Removing the tree is only part of the job. The remaining stump can interfere with mowing, landscaping, and future use of the area. It can also leave an uneven obstacle in a part of your yard that you would rather have clear.
Stump grinding reduces the visible portion of the stump below the surrounding grade so the area can be reclaimed for grass, mulch, planting, or other landscaping.
Easier Mowing
Eliminate an obstacle that can make routine lawn care difficult.
More Usable Space
Reclaim space for grass, mulch beds, planting, or other uses.
Cleaner Appearance
Remove the visible remains of an old tree from your landscape.
Ready for Landscaping

Stump Grinding or Complete Removal?
The best approach depends on what you plan to do with the area afterward. Kenny’s Tree Removal can evaluate the stump, surrounding ground, access, and your plans for the space to determine the most practical removal method.
Stump Grinding
Grinding removes the visible stump below ground level without excavating the entire root system. It is often the practical choice when the goal is to reclaim the area for grass, mulch, or landscaping.
Complete Stump Removal
Complete removal involves excavating the stump and a portion of the surrounding root system. This can make sense when the area needs to be cleared for construction, planting, grading, or another project.
Why Remove an Old Tree Stump?
An old stump can become more than an eyesore. Removing it can make the area easier to maintain, improve the appearance of your property, and give you more usable space.
Reclaim Your Lawn
An unwanted stump takes up valuable space and can make mowing, trimming, and maintaining the surrounding lawn more difficult.
Improve the Appearance
Removing an old stump can give your yard a cleaner appearance and make it easier to plan new landscaping.
Make Room for New Projects
Clearing an existing stump can prepare an area for new planting, landscaping, grading, or other improvements.
