What is a stump grinder good for?
A stump grinder chews a stump down below ground level so the area can be replanted or sodded.
- Removing stumps after a tree comes down
- Grinding surface roots
- Clearing stumps before sod or landscaping
- Chipping branches and brush: a wood chipper, $75 per day
- Cutting up the trunk: a chainsaw
- Digging out a whole root ball: a mini excavator
Walk-behind grinders cost less and work well for small stumps on flat ground, while self-propelled models handle larger stumps and tough terrain but cost more. Choose based on stump size, how many you're removing, and your property's terrain.
