Tree Stump Removal
Why It Matters

There are several reasons why it is important to grind stumps in your yard:

Aesthetics

Stumps can be an eyesore and detract from the overall appearance of your yard. Grinding them down to below ground level allows you to reclaim the space and improve the look of your property.

Safety

Stumps can be hazardous, especially if they are located in areas where people may walk or run, such as a playground or sports field. Grinding them down eliminates the tripping hazard and makes the area safer.

Pest Control

Stumps can attract pests, such as termites and ants, which can spread to other areas of your yard or even your home. Removing the stump eliminates the source of the infestation and helps to prevent further damage.

New Plant Growth

If you plan on planting new trees or other vegetation in the area where the stump is located, grinding it down allows for better soil preparation and root growth.

Property Value

Removing stumps can increase the value of your property by improving its appearance and making it more attractive to potential buyers.

We had them remove old pavers from our small backyard, patio, install new ones, build a retaining wall, regrade the backyard after a fence move, and reseed an area of the backyard. They did a great job and we are very happy with the work as well as the professionalism of the team. We were surprised at how quickly the seeded…

I have used Green Acres since 2016 for mowing and landscaping. My lawn is a steep hill and the staff does an amazing job. I have a large mulch area that Green Acres does each spring. I am extremely pleased and recommend them for any lawn care needs.

Commercial Property Manager here ! We recently made the switch to Green Acres from another "popular" commercial lawn care company. After increases in pricing and steady decline in services, care, and pride in craftsmanship we knew that it was time to make a change. Green Acres has been great in understanding our needs- we are a dual property with a…

FAQ

Stump grinding in Wilmington, DE: common questions

What is stump grinding?

Stump grinding uses a machine to grind a stump down below ground level, leaving wood chips and a clear, level space. It is different from pulling out the whole root system. Grinding is the usual choice for yards, lawns and planting areas.

What affects the cost of stump grinding?

Cost depends on the number of stumps, their diameter, how easily the grinder can reach them, and whether roots are exposed or the stump sits near walls, fences or utilities. We quote after seeing the stumps, so the number matches the work.

Should I grind the stump after tree removal?

Usually yes, if you want to use the space. A stump is a tripping hazard and an eyesore, and it can get in the way of new planting or sod. If we remove the tree, ask us to quote the stump at the same time.

What happens to the wood chips and hole?

Grinding leaves wood chips where the stump stood. Tell us at the estimate whether you want them left, used as mulch or hauled away, and whether to fill and level the area for grass or planting.

Can I plant over a ground stump?

Yes, after the area is cleared and the chips are dealt with. Grinding below ground level allows better soil preparation and root growth for new plants or sod. Ask us about leveling and replanting so the area is ready.
