So if you want your yard looking clean, safe, and fully usable, stump removal is the final step. And with this in mind, that’s why we offer expert stump grinding and root removal in Stonewood, WV, and the surrounding area. Our goal is simple: to help you reclaim your lawn, eliminate hazards, and restore the beauty of your property.
Why Removing Old Stumps Is So Important
Leaving an old stump behind may seem harmless at first, but over time, it can create more problems than you might expect. In our part of West Virginia, where thick vegetation, heavy rains, and rich soil are common, stumps quickly become a home for unwanted pests and fungi. They also create tripping hazards for kids, pets, and anyone walking across your yard. Some of the most common reasons homeowners call us to remove old tree stumps in Stonewood, WV, and the surrounding area include:
- Preventing trip and fall accidents
- Eliminating nests for termites, carpenter ants, and other pests
- Avoiding the spread of rot and disease to nearby healthy trees
- Restoring a clean, attractive appearance to the yard
- Preparing land for new landscaping, patios, or construction projects
- Simplifying mowing and routine lawn care
The longer you leave a stump in place, the more it can interfere with the safety and appearance of your property. That’s why we always recommend addressing stumps as soon as possible after tree removal.
Our Stump Grinding Services
Stump grinding is one of the most effective ways to eliminate old stumps without the need for extensive excavation. Using specialized grinding equipment, we reduce the stump into small wood chips, grinding it down below the surface of the soil. Our stump grinding services include:
- Grinding the stump several inches below ground level
- Removing visible portions of the stump along with surface roots
- Disposing of the wood chips or leaving them for mulch if requested
- Backfilling the hole with soil to restore a smooth, even lawn surface
Stump grinding allows for quick, clean removal with minimal impact on the surrounding landscape. In most cases, you’ll hardly know the stump was ever there by the time we’re finished.
Our Full Stump Removal & Root Removal Services
For homeowners planning new construction, patios, or other landscaping that requires a completely clear site, we also offer full stump and root removal. This service goes deeper than stump grinding, removing not just the visible stump, but the entire root system as well. Full root removal is ideal when:
- You’re installing a driveway, patio, or foundation
- You want to plant new trees, shrubs, or gardens in the same location
- You need to fully eliminate root interference with underground pipes or structures
We’ll assess your project goals and help you determine whether stump grinding or full root removal makes the most sense for your property.
