After a tree is removed, the stump left behind can quickly become a problem. In North Florida, tree stumps attract insects, create tripping hazards, and interfere with lawn maintenance. Shaw’s Tree Service provides professional stump grinding services to remove unsightly stumps and help homeowners reclaim their outdoor space safely and efficiently.
Why Tree Stumps Are a Problem in North Florida
Tree stumps may look harmless, but they create several long-term issues, especially in Florida’s warm and humid climate. Decaying stumps attract termites, ants, beetles, and other pests. They can also damage lawn equipment, collect moisture, and become a safety risk for children and pets. Over time, stumps can sprout new growth, leading to unwanted regrowth and additional maintenance.
Removing the stump properly eliminates these problems and restores the usability of your yard.
Why Choose Professional Stump Grinding
Stump grinding is the most effective and least disruptive method for stump removal.
Instead of digging out the entire root system, we grind the stump below ground level, allowing the area to be filled and regraded.
• Faster than full stump removal
• No large holes left behind
• Prevents regrowth from the stump
• Improves yard appearance
• Allows grass or landscaping to grow back
This method is ideal for residential properties throughout North Florida.
Our Stump Grinding Process
We begin by evaluating the size and location of the stump. Using professional stump grinding equipment, we grind the stump down below the surface of the soil. The remaining wood chips can be removed or reused as mulch if desired. Once complete, the area is ready for soil, sod, or landscaping.
Our process minimizes damage to surrounding lawns, driveways, and structures.
Stump Grinding After Tree Removal or Storm Damage
Stump grinding is often the final step after tree removal or emergency storm service.
Storms frequently leave behind broken or uprooted trees, and the remaining stumps can interfere with cleanup and repairs. Grinding the stump completes the job and prevents future problems.
We provide stump grinding as a standalone service or combined with tree removal and storm cleanup.
