What stump removal looks like in the United States, USA
typically call after a tree has been cut down and the stump is left behind. The stump is a dense wooden mass anchored by lateral roots that may run several feet wide. A proper removal addresses both the visible stump and the underground root crown, restores the ground, and leaves the lawn ready for sod, mulch or replanting.
Most residential stumps are handled with a self-propelled stump grinder that chews the wood down 6 to 12 inches below grade. Larger or specimen-tree stumps may need full excavation with a mini-excavator to pull the root ball out cleanly. The job ends with a clean lawn ready to walk on.
