Stump Grinding and Removal in New Jersey 

When a tree is removed from your property, one of the most persistent reminders of its presence is the stump left behind. Stumps can be unsightly, take up valuable space, and even pose a hazard to your yard. At Portland Springs Tree Services, we offer expert stump grinding and removal services to eliminate this obstacle, allowing you to fully enjoy your outdoor space.

Professional Stump Grinding Services

Stump grinding is an efficient and cost-effective solution for removing tree stumps without the need for extensive excavation. Our experienced team uses specialized equipment to grind down the stump below ground level, ensuring that it no longer obstructs your landscape. Once the stump is ground down, you are left with a smooth, level surface that can be reseeded or used for other landscaping purposes.

Why Choose Stump Grinding?

Stump grinding is an ideal option if you want to remove a tree stump without causing damage to the surrounding area. The process involves grinding the stump down into wood chips, which can be used for mulch or disposed of as you prefer. This technique is fast and minimally invasive, ensuring that your yard is not torn up in the process. Additionally, stump grinding prevents the growth of new shoots or suckers that can emerge from the old stump, allowing your landscape to remain tidy.

Complete Stump Removal for Your New Jersey Property

For those looking to completely remove a stump, we offer full stump removal services. This involves the removal of both the stump and the root system, providing a more thorough solution compared to stump grinding. Full stump removal is ideal when you want to repurpose the area for construction or landscaping projects where tree roots may interfere with future development.

  • The Stump Removal Process

    When you opt for full stump removal, our team will use heavy-duty equipment to extract the stump and its root system from the ground. This process involves digging around the stump to expose the roots, cutting them, and pulling out the entire stump. We then fill in the hole left behind with soil to level the ground and restore the area’s appearance.


    The root removal process ensures that no remnants are left behind, which can be important if you’re planning to build or plant in the area. By eliminating the roots, you prevent the possibility of regrowth and eliminate the risk of decaying roots that could attract pests.

Benefits of Stump Grinding and Removal

While both stump grinding and full stump removal effectively get rid of unsightly stumps, each method has its own set of advantages.

Stump Grinding

Stump grinding is a quicker and less invasive solution, which means your yard will be back to its normal state faster. It is less costly than full stump removal and requires minimal digging, so your yard will remain relatively undisturbed. The ground will be covered with mulch, which can be reused for landscaping purposes.

Full Stump Removal

Full stump removal provides a more thorough solution, especially for larger stumps or when the area will be repurposed for other uses. This option ensures that all roots are completely eradicated, leaving no trace of the tree. Full removal can also prevent future problems, such as pests and root regrowth, which are common with grinding alone.

Preventing Future Tree Problems with Stump Removal

Stump grinding and removal can help prevent several potential issues with your yard. Left unchecked, tree stumps can cause a range of problems. Stumps that are not properly removed may attract termites, ants, and other pests, which can spread to nearby trees or buildings. Additionally, stumps can create tripping hazards, especially in high-traffic areas or when covered by grass.
