How to get rid of small stumps

Using a stump grinder is an efficient way to get rid of small stumps quickly and cleanly. The grinder uses a spinning cutting wheel with sharp teeth to chip away at the wood, reducing the stump to mulch. For small stumps, it's important to position the grinder carefully and work slowly to avoid hitting surrounding obstacles like fences, rocks, or nearby structures. Starting at the top of the stump and working your way down in sweeping motions ensures even removal. Once the stump is ground a few inches below ground level, you can cover the area with soil or mulch, leaving the yard smooth and ready for new landscaping.
