Stump grinding and removal wipes out the leftover stub of a felled tree, which frees up that corner of the yard for sod, shrubs or patio stones. Malvern Tree Trimming grinds stumps of any size below the ground, and the job is fully insured.
A stump grinder is a machine with a spinning cutting wheel. It chews the stump into small chips, down to several inches below the soil. We then rake the chips out or leave them in the hole to settle, and you can top it up with soil and seed.
Narrow side yards are common in Malvern. Many backyards can only be reached through a gate between houses. Our narrow grinder squeezes through a standard side gate, which means fence panels stay in place.
Grinding also stops suckers. Manitoba maple, poplar and sumac drift in from the Rouge woodland, and their old roots keep pushing up suckers season after season. Grinding the stump well below the surface is the best way to stop them.
We grind most stumps to about 6 to 10 inches below the surface. That is deep enough to lay sod or plant grass. If you need it deeper for a patio or a new tree, tell us before the work starts.
Across Toronto, grinding one stump tends to land somewhere from $150 to $500; width and gate access move it up or down. The quote we write for your yard gives the real figure.
Grinding takes out the stump plus the thick root flare right around it. Thinner roots out under the lawn stay put and rot away slowly over a few seasons.
The machine leaves a small area of chips and some tire marks. Plywood goes down over soggy turf, and the chips get raked up afterward.
Is there an old stump in the middle of your lawn? A grinder turns it into mulch and the hole is ready for topsoil. Stump prices come in writing: phone (647) 370-2894, or fill in the request box at the bottom of the Malvern Tree Trimming front page.
